Eccentric, scandalous, provocative, exuberant and funny as ever, Jean Paul Gaultier’s stunning creation, Fashion Freak Show is now on a World Tour.

The production, an explosive combination of revue, pop concert and fashion show, first premiered with an acclaimed run in Paris in 2019 at the legendary Folies Bergère and has since been updated and reimagined for the iconic Roundhouse in London where it played a six week residency in Summer 2021.

In this extraordinary production, actors, dancers and circus artists take to the stage and play outlandish, passionate, larger than life, rude, sexy, sassy creatures and personalities.

Set against the backdrop of a giant video wall, a key part of the production features vignettes of special guest stars – including a number of Gaultier’s long-term, iconic supporters and friends. Rossy de Palma plays the young Gaultier’s unforgiving schoolteacher, who harbours secret fashion fantasies of her own, while Catherine Deneuve reads out the hysterical names that Gaultier gave the creations in his fabulous men’s couture show of the early ’90s.
