About the show
MIH STUDIO presents this cabaret and performance art event at the Basement as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Each evening, a different Scottish artist opens the Cabinet and shares a never-before-told personal confession. From that raw revelation, they create a one-night-only piece that cannot be repeated. The show was born in Berlin's cabaret scene and developed through SCHWEINHAUS nights before making its Fringe debut. It runs for 60 minutes and is strictly for audiences aged 18 and over. Content warnings include nudity, scenes of a sexual nature, and strong language. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
A different show every night, built live from a real confession. The Cabinet makes a promise it actually keeps — that what you witness is intimate, unrepeatable, and genuinely surprising.
