Hel Cabaret unleashes Fandom Menace on the 19th August — a twisted alternate reality where the worlds you grew up obsessing over are dragged into the shadows of Hel.

Step inside a corrupted playground of iconic characters, digital fantasies, comic book chaos, and cult obsessions reimagined through a darker, more decadent lens. The creatures of Hel join forces with a hand-picked expanded lineup of guest performers to tear open the gateway between fantasy and reality — revealing the seductive, sinister side of the fandoms we love.

This exclusive Edinburgh Fringe edition brings an expanded cast of guest artists, delivering a fast-paced showcase of dark glamour, twisted creativity, and unforgettable live spectacle — all at an accessible one-night-only price as nostalgia is stripped down, transformed, and reborn in true Hel Cabaret style.

The fan world is shifting. The code is breaking. The portal is open.

Will you cross the threshold?

Hel brings you an evening of Neo Burlesque, Gorelesque, Fire, Pole, and other provocative acts with horror, fantasy, gore, and fetish elements. These performances will be accompanied by rock, industrial, metal and alternative music.

We do not have a dress code, however, we encourage everyone to dress up for our event, we love seeing your outfits! It is not mandatory if that's not your thing.

This is a seated event and strictly over 18.

Doors open at 6pm and show will start at 7:15pm.

There will be access to the bar, but we encourage people to purchase their drinks before or during the mid show break. Come in early and join fellow travellers to Hel for a drink.

Please note strobe lights and other effects may be used during the performances. Also please note that performances may contain nudity.
