Singing, Sagging and Shagging — A Hilarious, Unfiltered Ode to Aging and Audacity
A must-see show for anyone who’s ever worried about getting older—or just wants a bloody good laugh.It’s not often a show comes along that boldly wears its wrinkles like battle scars, belts out tunes with unapologetic vibrato, and treats taboo like yesterday’s gossip. Singing, Sagging and Shagging is that rare beast: a no-holds-barred, belly-laugh-inducing, and surprisingly poignant revue that smashes stereotypes about growing old.The stage crackles with energy of seasoned performer Barbara Fernandez — radiating charisma, timing, and vocal chops — takes the audience on a riotous journey through the realities of aging. From meltdowns, getting old guys stiff, losing a husband to a cult, her chest going sagging and Viagra misfires, no topic is off-limits. Yet somehow, the show dances along the line between crude and clever with the finesse of a veteran stand-up comic.Musically, the performance is a delight. Reworked classics and original numbers blend seamlessly with witty lyrics and pitch-perfect delivery. Think Cole Porter meets Victoria Wood — with a dash of Calendar Girls cheekiness. The standout tearjerking song was ‘Tattoo’ by Loreen, that had the crowd roaring one minute and misty-eyed the next.But what truly sets Singing, Sagging and Shagging apart is its heart. Behind the innuendo and infectious laughter lies a celebration of resilience, friendship, and self-acceptance. It’s a love letter to living fully, long after society says you should fade into the background.This is not your average cabaret. It’s raunchy, rebellious, and real — and it deserves to be seen.Reviewers Verdict: A must-see show for anyone who’s ever worried about getting older — or just wants a bloody good laugh.Reviewers Score: A not too saggy 4/5.
