Catherine Alcorn’s new cabaret Cathartic opens Slide’s Artist-in-Residency program in grand style.

October sees iconic cabaret and entertainment venue Slide playing host to award-winning cabaret performer Catherine Alcorn, kicking off its inaugural Artist in Residency program with the debut of her cabaret Cathartic. Alcorn had previously dazzled audiences with her representations of Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie and Bette Midler.

Backed by a talented three-piece live band, Cathartic is a distinctively soulful and contemporary take on the art of cabaret; the weekly show, running each Wednesday throughout the month, provides Alcorn with a dynamic stage upon which to draw audiences in to her personal, experimental style, coupling personal account with the reimagining of hits from a varied repertoire including Blondie, Led Zeppelin, Quincy Jones and Sade.

Cathartic will be performed at Slide Lounge onWednesdays October 5, 12 and 19. The show starts at 7pm, and includes a three-course dinner along with the show. For tickets, visitslide.com.au.
