Comedy Theatre Panton Street, London

Britain's funniest musical comediennes play their last ever London season as they celebrate 20 glorious years together.

The now legendary all-girl trio, Fascinating Aida play London for the very last time, with their new show - One Last Flutter - at the Comedy Theatre from 11 November 2003 for a strictly limited four week season which will mark their final performances together.

Always painfully humorous and bitingly satirical, Fascinating Aida have established themselves as the UK's top theatre cabaret act, garnering a host of awards and two Olivier Award nominations. Singing hilarious songs on love and sex - something the girls claim to have much experience of - each number reflects the age we're in and the age we are at. Self-described as 'a cross between Jacques Brel and the Andrews Sisters', Fascinating Aida have had audiences in tears of laughter for two decades. Above all, they make the unendurable more bearable by making fun of it.

For their farewell tour, Fascinating Aida have gathered the troups, and the old stalwarts, Adele Anderson, Marilyn Cutts and Dillie Keane, have reunited for 'the single purpose of topping up their pensions'. The show also introduces twinkle-toed new boy Russell Churney and his twelve magical fingers.

Over the years the girls have played in hundreds of theatres and taken in the charms of venues from Chipping Norton and Billingham, to The Sydney Opera House and The Ballroom in New York. They have been seen live by over one million people and have released five albums, published two books and released two videos.

This new show, One Last Flutter, features 12 entirely new songs on subjects as diverse as how handy the cardigan is to the menopausal woman, the Turner Prize, how John Prescott has ruined the countryside and what to do when confronting Armageddon. Since this is a) the dawning of the Age of the Apocalypse and b) they'll never see 40 again, the new material is delightfully bitter and splendidly savage. Those who have followed the FA gals over the years will also enjoy selected highlights of their best-loved songs, performed in a Stars On 45 fashion, but with marginally less bpm.

Fascinating Aida will have their Final Flutter on Broadway in Spring 2004.
