DESCRIPTION:Forty years of circusing not out and Cardiff company NoFit Sta
 te show few signs of flagging. Their latest production\, Carnation\, opene
 d in Porthcawl back in April and has since toured to Brighton\, Bristol\, 
 Galway and Carmarthen\, returning to base camp this month for 17 performan
 ces in 17 days. (Saturdays feature both matinees and evening shows\; on Su
 ndays it’s at 3pm only\; Mondays and Tuesdays are their days off.) NoFit
  State specialise in circus which is ‘about things’\, and in the case 
 of Carnation they call that “hope in rebellion”. The title is a refere
 nce to the symbol adopted by the Italian Socialist Party in the late 1970s
 \; Firenza Guidi\, director of this show and multiple previous NoFit State
  productions since the mid-00s\, was a student in Milan at the time. Much 
 of the symbolism which pops up over Carnation’s two-act\, two-hour runti
 me is more overt than this\, by previous reviewers’ accounts. If the com
 pany are not exactly trad circus performers\, the direction and choreograp
 hy are in thrall to that history\, and you can expect to be thrilled by hi
 gh-wire and trapeze acts\, clowning and suchlike. There’s also live musi
 c and a sequence involving a slinky which seems to have especially impress
 ed many attendees on shows earlier this year. Tickets: £14-£40.

DESCRIPTION:We gave this Tommy Cooper-themed musical a little bit of edito
 rial in the July issue when its creator Stefan Pejic did a sort of preview
  event elsewhere in Swansea. Also Julia Deli wrote about it in her report 
 on the Talking Pictures festival in Monmouth. Now it is opening properly a

DESCRIPTION:Consider the real-life Operation Mincemeat – a World War II 
 British intelligence deception operation in which the corpse of a tramp wa
 s used to disguise the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily – and you would n
 ever expect a riotous musical comedy\, especially one that wins Best New M
 usical at the 2024 Olivier Awards. After huge success in London\, though\
 , it’s on a UK tour (a measure of its success is that it’s simultaneou
 sly playing on Broadway {and} touring North America\, Australia and China)
 \, with a Cardiff run this month promptly followed by a Swansea one. The p
 lot of the musical is based on a true story you just couldn’t make up. A
  deceased man’s body became a red herring\, given the false identity of 
 Major William Martin with his pockets holding documents which seemed to co
 rroborate this. A photo of his (imagined) fiancée sat next to equally fic
 tional love letters\, in fact written by MI5 secretary Hester Leggatt. Th
 e false information found its way into enemy hands\, as intended\, and in 
 doing so altered the course of the war. The corpse’s real identity – G
 lyndwr Michael\, a homeless man from Aberbargoed – was kept secret until
  1996. Such a story doesn’t seem an obvious one for a musical comedy tro
 upe known as SplitLip to adapt for their debut production – let alone wi
 th a scene in which the German army perform a boyband style musical number
 . It just doesn’t sound like it should work\, yet written and produced w
 ith historical reverence Operation Mincemeat has obviously become a succes
 s. Tickets: £33-£67. words CHRIS WILLIAMS

DESCRIPTION:Hot on the heels of a biographical cabaret tour\, Cardiff burl
 esque icon Foo Foo Labelle and Cardiff Cabaret Club presents Burlesque… 
 The Real Deal. A regular in Wales Millennium Centre’s Cabaret space\, it
 s title is no doubt a tongue-in-cheek nod to Burlesque – the musical ada
 ption of the 2010 film\, playing in the main auditorium at the start of th
 is month. And indeed\, with CCC you get the real thing\, not the Hollywood
  version of the form. Appropriately for the art of tease\, the lineup wasn
 ’t immediately announced\, but described as “incredible international 
 headliners” on the event page. Since then\, the performers have been int
 roduced via the Cardiff Cabaret Club Instagram. Alongside host Labelle an
 d her Cabaret Club Troupe\, there’s London’s Aya L’Storm\, Ruby Rosa
 lie – also based in London\, but a Welsh pinup\, who started with this v
 ery club – international male burlesque performer Johnny O\, no strange
 r to these bills Ana Kiss\, and “high energy-tomfoolery” from Rudy Jee
 vanjee.
