Once a year, in the name of charity, the most gorgeous performers from the West End trot along to the Cafe de Paris for a night of debauched fun and frolics and on September 1 you could be joining them.
Run by the Make a Difference Trust (MAD), West End Bares is a glorious night of flesh-revealing antics with a stage filled with toned and tanned bodies of all shapes, sizes, and persuasions.
Combining the burlesque with musical theatre, the famous venue will be bursting at the seams with glamour, glitz and gay boys and girls, all from some of London’s hottest shows.
This year’s theme is ‘All the Fund of the Bare’ (geddit?), and the Cafe will be made over on the night into a fabulous funfair, with side-stalls, fairground games, and freakshows. Each year they have a generous sprinkling of slebs turning out to help too although names are usually kept a surprise til the night itself.
The event raises money for MAD, a UK-based charity which brings together the British entertainment community and its audiences to make money to support people living with HIV and AIDS, and for those in the industry facing hardship as a result of a long-term medical condition.
Based on an American idea – Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS – the concept of West End Bares was imported over here in 2010 and has taken off in a big way with more names each year eager to sign up to show us a bit of their heavenly bodies.
There are two shows taking place over one night, one at 9.30pm and another at the witching hour.
Tickets cost £40 a pop.
