Bourgeois & Maurice: How to Save the World Without Really Trying

How to Save the World Without Really Trying is the latest offering from cabaret weirdos Georgeois Bourgeois and Maurice Maurice. It's a big sparkly glitter ball of a show from the alleged brother and sister who are also possibly aliens from space. They appear on stage like the result of a sex party pregnancy where the possible culprits could be any of the cast of Rocky Horror, Gary Numan or Liza Minnelli. They're a sight to behold: Maurice's beehive is taller than Trump Tower and Bourgeois' lashes look like mating spiders – you don't get more glamorous than this. But, as mesmerising as they look, they're not just about the glitz.

They've been working together almost a decade now (some claim they are Liv Morris and George Heyworth and really reside in Hackney, but they're probably just jealous) and the dynamic shows in this incredibly slick cabaret partnership – the morose Maurice plinking glumly at her keyboard while upbeat Bourgeois is possibly plotting a dictatorship.

Their comedy songs feature satirical material—with a fair few Brexit gags sandwiched in between—with odes to misguided patriotism and a European party that all went a bit wrong. Elsewhere there's an inventive love/smartphone analogy and desperate cry for people to stop sharing their opinions online. Their musical talent is undoubted too: there are thumping dance and gorgeous electronica tunes, ballads too, and all ones you'd want to listen to even without the comedy. Dazzling. You might want to bring your shades.
