Cherries On A Cloud has been Gloucestershire’s number one burlesque and cabaret event since 2010, specialising in bringing you fantastic acts from all around the world. Originally held in a 1940’s vintage hall, 2019 marks a new era for this high-class event.
With 100% sell out shows for the last 4 years, we’ve made the decision to move to a new, larger, venue that can accomodate the high demand for tickets.
On Saturday 30th of March 2019, Cherries On A Cloud show of 2019 will host our launch event at the Walls Club in Barnwood, with headliner Abigail Collins and cast of international burlesque performers.
Abigail Collins is an award winning, multi-talented, comedy, cabaret and circus performer who has graced stages all over the world, and this will be her third time at Cherries On A Cloud.
Quote From Headliner Abigail Collins
“Cherries on a Cloud is one of my favourite shows in the UK. Not only is Kitty Ribbons a beautiful performer but she’s a brilliant producer and she’s built an incredible following for her shows. There’s such a sense of community at Cherries, from the team running the venue to the audience (almost always sold out). It’s a warmth that comes from something that is created with a lot of flair, hard work and dedication and a producer who knows her onions (or should that be sequins?). It’s the kind of show that you always say yes to when asked to perform at because you know the line up will be amazing, the atmosphere electric and the whole thing a pleasure from beginning to end, from the booking process to the curtain call (and beyond, Kitty’s after show tea and toast parties are legendary!).”
Sandy Sure (Winner – The World Alternative Crown, 2016 World Burlesque Games) and Betty Blue Eyes (Winner – The British Crown, 2016 World Burlesque Games) also join the line-up. These wonderful, hilarious women wowed the Cherries audiences in 2018, and are back to welcome Cherries On A Cloud to its new home.
Cherries On A Cloud producer and international burlesque performer, Kitty Ribbons will not only be performing her own routine, but she acting as a mentor to up and coming performers – Kitty’s Burlesque Academy has been running for 7 years, and a troupe of graduates will be performing a routine choreographed by Kitty.
Quote from Kitty Ribbons (Found & Producer)
“For me, Cherries On A Cloud was an opportunity to bring a high-quality burlesque and cabaret night to Gloucester that wasn’t there before. What started with a one-off charity in 2010 event has grown into a highly respectable show, we book incredible international talent and the show continues to grow from strength to strength. I also like to give the ladies who attend my burlesque classes the opportunity to experience the feeling of being on stage in front of a live audience – there is nothing more empowering
After much thought and consideration, I decided to move to the Walls Club because it gave us the opportunity to bring the show to more people, without moving too far from it’s original location. Over the last 9 years, we’ve built an amazing community of Cherries On A Cloud fans and friends and by bringing the show to a larger venue we can bring more people into the Cherries family.”
Finally Magician and comedian Al Rudge is no stranger to Cherries On A Cloud, but when you’re as hilarious as Al, audiences are never disappointed to see him again! His fast paced, razor wit and whirl wind approach to comedy magic has made him a hit and he’s back to amaze and delight the Cherries On A Cloud audience on March 30th!
All hosted by the divine Miss Em, a force to be reckoned with, who holds audiences in the palm of her hand who can transport you back to the charm and chutzpa of golden age stars such as Judy Garland, Lucille Ball and Rita Hayworth.
What can you expect to find at a Cherries show? Variety, that’s for sure! Everything from traditional burlesque and cabaret, to “boylesque”, magicians, comedians, circus performers, sideshow acts and even poets have crossed our stage. No two Cherries shows are the same but they all promise to delight, and you are guaranteed to see something unique

“I have been enjoying Cherries On A Cloud performances, with my lovely hubby Mick, for several years now! We always leave having had a great time. There are always brilliant performances and have met some lovely people. I particularly enjoy the comedy acts, but the choreography
have been amazing to watch and the glamorous costumes always give the night a wonderful sparkle.”

“I started going to Cherries over a year ago, my first burlesque show and I’ve been hooked ever since!! You always know that you’re in for an amazing night. The performers are incredible, mesmerising and the host always keeps you in stitches, gets the crowd involved, even the things like the best dressed competition and heads & tails game really puts the “cherry” on top! Would not hesitate to recommend a night out at Cherries.”
