Doom and Glitter: A Tribute To Tom Waits

Mr Brake Down / PBH’s Free Fringe • Semi-professional company

60 minutes•Ballroom
In its fifth year at Fringe, return to the bluesy banter and iconic sound of Mr Brake Down’s incredible live band. Exploring the wit, wisdom and unstoppable force of eccentric cult icon Tom Waits, this award-winning live music experience gathers the outcasts, oddities and visionaries for a soulful fever-dream that runs the gamut of human emotion. Gloriously odd and experimental, the show takes audiences on a melodic journey through Waits' seminal works, where you get to be part of the music and enjoy special guests from the world of drag and burlesque.
