Bingo Drag Show
A bingo led by the queens, with quips, prizes and asides to the room, until everyone ends up playing.
Two drag shows a month in Nice Old Town
Drag show in Nice: cabaret, live art and musical theater
At Les Folies d'Edmonde, the drag show comes down into the vaulted cellar, in the heart of Nice Old Town: drag bingo, singing, lip-sync and real dance numbers. Millena B Rose, Azémylia, Laka-Naïa, Kiki Frog Show and LunaBelladonna have left their mark on this stage in recent years, in an LGBT friendly place where there's plenty of laughter and everyone is made welcome.
It all comes down to a mix of cabaret, show, musical theater, humor and performance. Here, drag isn't watched from a distance: the stage is a few steps away, and it moves from laughter to glamour without losing its panache.
Bingo, singing, lip-sync and dance
Every night keeps its share of the unexpected. It can be playful, musical, very cabaret or fully danced; the principle stays the same: drag right up close to the audience, with presence and panache.
Singing Drag Show
Sung numbers, standards reworked with character, and voices that fill the cellar with real live warmth.
Lipstick performance
Precise lip-sync, a steady gaze, a red mouth: the cabaret moment when three minutes become a scene from a film.
Dance numbers
Choreographed passages, movement across the whole room: bodies take over the space, far from a static number.
A few queens from the cellar
A few figures from the drag scene who have performed at Les Folies d'Edmonde in recent years. There is no fixed troupe: each night has its guests and its mood, between comedy, glamour, lip-sync, singing and dance.
Millena B Rose
A theatrical presence, strong lines and a sense of timing that electrifies the tables closest to the stage.
Azémylia
Bright, sharp and complicit, Azémylia brings rhythm, microphone energy and room-grabbing humour.
Laka-Naïa
A dancer's energy and a sense of tableau, for the nights when the stage becomes a playground.
Kiki Frog Show
A visual, funny and magnetic character between acidic cabaret, pop glamour and a look that knows when to land.
LunaBelladonna
A baroque silhouette, white fan and theatrical precision: LunaBelladonna brings dramatic glamour that catches the light.
