Knock Twice Cabaret

01 Aug 2025

Botanical Garden

A secret 1920s cabaret in the Botanical Garden. Dragged-up jazz, ritual, and wit await. Knock once for curiosity. Knock twice to come in.

Hidden behind an ajar door in the Botanical Garden and revealed only to those who know how to ask, this is no ordinary night out. Hosted by German drag king and chaos demon Franz Genau, expect an evening of biting wit, jazz-drenched spectacle, and whispered rituals in the underbelly of Liverpool’s nightlife.

Joining Franz on stage are the sensational Pretentious Dross, the arthouse witch herself, and the electrifying Charlotte Rays, a glamour-punk powerhouse and international dancing diva. Expect dragged up jazz, unhinged comedy, with immersive surprises between acts.

Bring curiosity, style yourself in the finest 1920s garments, and get ready to keep a secret. There are only 50 seats, and those with ears to the ground may earn an extra token…
