The neo-vaudevillian, the real life Disney villain,
the gin-addled courtesan, the anti-christ of cabaret and the one and only waltzing cynic…
Eccentric to international stages, Joe Black takes to shows in an almost cartoon-esque theatrical assault,
sweeping the audiences through an array of show tunes, ballads, and a rather varied but fine selection of morally questionable entertainment.
Though seemingly unable to fit into any particular category, Joe Black has none the less defied description and taken to the worlds stages -
A glass of wine in one hand, and an utterly ridiculous and inappropriate prop in the other.
Joe Black, or Mister Black, if you’d prefer?
Is no stranger to the ridiculous, the sometimes disturbing, or the downright shocking world of entertainment.
As well as regularly treading the boards of the sell out sensation that is the worlds biggest fetish club Torture Garden (London) and international tours with the critically acclaimed Ministry of Burlesque, he also hosts his own sell out residency in the lavish Edwardian Kings Theatre, in Hampshire.
An entertaining and inspiring cabaret artist, he has been voted a favourite of public and industry alike according to various internet campaigns.
With a constant stream of theatrical endeavors up and down the UK, Europe and internationally.
Joe Black is a well seasoned, and well endowed performer (or so we hear).
From the smokey underground clubs of Paris, to the dimly lit cabarets of Berlin, even to the gloriously esteemed historical treasure that is the British library…
One of the pioneering personalities in new Variety, he is the unmistakable Vaudevillian Villain.
Joe Black is ready to give you a show, that years of therapy couldn’t even help you forget.
We’re very concerned…
