Sarah-Louise Young: I Am Your Tribute cabaret review – More than just a cover act
Crammed with karaoke classics and a prodigious wig collection, this early-afternoon show is an enjoyable ode to the power of pop

It’s hard to believe that this is a free show. Sarah-Louise Young gets everyone involved, whether you want to or not. The talented singer manages to change from Freddie Mercury to Britney Spears in mere seconds with the help of her wigs, which she reveals are just a fraction of her huge collection back home in her ‘wig shed’.
Young, who also performs and is co-creator of An Evening Without Kate Bush is full of energy and you can’t help but smile and sing along. Her storytelling, song parodies and insider top tips make for a great lunchtime cabaret show, on top of her amazing voice. But remember, she isn’t an impersonator: she’s a tribute act.
The comedy is spot on, the wigs should definitely be nowhere near a live flame and the song choices are what you’d expect from a karaoke line-up in the pub on Saturday night: the songs that everybody knows. This is the perfect way to kickstart a day of shows at the Fringe.
Sarah-Louise Young: I Am Your Tribute, PBH’s Free Fringe @ Voodoo Rooms, until 25 August, 12.05pm.
