Philadelphia’s Bearded Ladies Cabaret is debuting Do You Want a Cookie? at this year’s Fringe Festival. It’s a show celebrating the history and evolution of cabaret – from fin-de-siècle Paris and Weimar nightlife to 21st century drag. Set in an old Philly bicycle factory, the show features an international cast of cabaret artists. We’ll talk with the show’s co-creators, JOHN JARBOE and SALLY OLLOVE.
