Le Gateau Chocolat: Musicals Mayhem
Le Gateau Chocolat has been top of Happy Valley Pride's wish-list for years, and at long last the amazing performance icon is here, headlining a very special night.
Imagine a Music Box, a Chocolate Box, a Juke Box, and a Dress-Up Box all collide and burst into life… Their name would be Le Gateau Chocolat!
Your favourite Black, bearded, and bass singing drag icon hits Happy Valley Pride for one enchanted evening of musical theatre madness.
Expect a mountain of laughs, a stream of nostalgia, and a tug at the heartstring as Gateau crams every single musical you know and love into an hour of high kicks, high drag and high glamour.

‘A delightful hour of warm musical theatre joy' ★★★★★ Musical Theatre Review
‘His voice is both delicate and gloriously meteorological, his ceiling-lifting baritone rich and silky as a Lindor truffle and resonant as a bell.’ – The Stage.

Frankie Thompson: Worst of British Selection.
Gateau will be joined by the'hysterically funny, deeply strange' (Time Out) acclaimed clown Frankie Thompson. The idiot behind smash hit Edinburgh shows CAttS and BODY SHOW will present highlights from their solo work. Frankie has performed across the UK with sell-out runs in London, Edinburgh, Bristol and Brighton. She was a semi-finalist in the BBC New Comedian of The Year Awards 2024.
