The Cocoa Butter Club are here to decolonise and moisturise The Beacon by showcasing and celebrating queer performers of colour!

The Cocoa Butter Club are heading somewhere unknown… Home.

The noise was noted, the opinions were obtuse, and the debates about who gets to belong on this island… dry and dusty. The only answer – being brave enough to build the world we want to experience. Black, Queer, and unapologetically Cocoa Butter, of course.

Join us for this unforgettable night of cabaret, where rhythm meets resistance. This isn’t escape. It’s elevation.

The Cocoa Butter Club is an award winning performance company, showcasing and celebrating performers of colour. Expect a high octane evening of cabaret featuring burlesque, drag, spoken word, circus and much more.
