Cachín Cachán Cachunga!

"Edinburgh's most consistently radical cabaret experience."
– The Skinny, Edinburgh/Glasgow

"Cachín Cachán Cachunga! really matters in contemporary Scotland...
this night brings together a diverse group of artists, making it both
difficult to pigeon-hole and restlessly contemporary."
– The Vile Blog, Glasgow

"...something of a phenomenon."
– The List, Edinburgh/Glasgow

"Cachín Cachán Cachunga is certainly an event to watch out for, as it showcases
a rich buffet of UK and international queer talent. The numbers seem to have
grown, although the hosts managed to maintain the welcoming, friendly air and
intimacy of a very large queer house-party."

– Eric's Trip, Glasgow

History

In partnership with Scottish Transgender Alliance, Cachín showcases short films, poetry, dance, music and general weirdness -- with a focus on disabled & Deaf, migrant and racialised LGBTI communities. We've had everything from gay parrot puppets, to burlesque on broken glass, to ballet, to punk. Cachín Cachán Cachunga! currently takes place once a year, and all shows are curated by Sandra Alland.

Started as a monthly event in February 2009 by Zorras (Sandra Alland & Y Josephine), Lily, & Ania Urbanowska, the night continues to grow in size and quality. Cachín is dedicated to bringing you fully accessible entertainment, with disabled access, film subtitling, and BSL interpretation at our events.
