Cougar Morrison – Animal Instincts

Playing to a packed house, Cougar Morrison – Animal Instincts is a show that defies classification. Part drag, a little bit ‘boylesque’ and a good deal old-school cabaret, it is mostly just a great show.

Cougar, the alter-ego of performer/producer Clint Strindberg, is bitchy without apology, tells a brilliant story and cuts down hecklers with sass and style, but the highlight is that Cougar is an amazing singer, with gorgeous trade-mark vibrato, who delivers unique renditions of material as varied as Piaf and Bieber.

Supported by gorgeously kitted back-up boys, Cougar moves with style and flaunts some fantastic costumes.

Disarmingly honest and occasionally not in the best of taste, Cougar Morrison is not for everyone, but is definitely a cabaret highlight of Fringe World 2017.
