Description

Scotland's silliest surgeon, Dr Bonk, presents the Macarbaret: an evening of drag, burlesque, music, comedy and medical mayhem, starring the not-so-good doctor and an all-sorts assortment of spooky performers! There'll be laughs, scares, and gore galore in this madcap hour of madness! Every night the undead plague doctor unveils four new, all-different performers. They'll make you laugh, cry and scream, often all at once. Expect the unexpected, and come on in. The doctor will see you now! Sold out show – Edinburgh Horror Festival 2022.

A really fun late night show. With the mute & midly disturbing plague doctor, Dr Bonk, taking on the emcee role with charm, wit and dubious medical procedures - along with four acts (different each show). The acts we saw were proper cabaret! - a confused Paul McCartney with a fear of snakes and issues with mic stands, a depressed northern Dracula, a spooky story teller giving impromptu tarot readings and an energetic drag queen who everyone thought may have died until she crawled off stage! Great way to round of the day, strongly recommend.
