Claire's pop up petit cabaret presents Samson Alston

3 course dinner and 2 twenty minutes live sets

Fresh from his triumphant lead role in the first professional play to return to the stage after Covid -”The Credeaux Canvas”, -Samson Alston turns his comedic and dramatic skills to a wonderful light hearted cabaret show using as its basic theme the idea of life starting to return to normal after lockdowns . In the show, the idea of the problems of the last twelve months serve as a background to some hopeful, uplifting and often comedic songs. Samson will present with the extraordinary Andrew Worboys a night of delightful entertainment from the young man who was recently described after his mainstream theatre debut as a “brutal talent”(Channel 7)

Samson Alston is a young actor who has burst onto the scene this past year. Samson has had several years of training  working closely with Pippa Grandison, Tim Maddren and Nicholas Christo.

Since returning to Australia he regularly joins various top line professionals from all over the world to study with her online.

Since gaining professional management Samson has starred in a national ad campaign for Vodaphone  and Hungry Jacks and performed in a Zoom virtual production of the classic Australian play “Three Winters Green””.  Samson is currently garnering enormous acclaim in the leading role of Winston in “The Credeaux Canvas”,at El Rocco theatre, the first professional live theatre production since lockdown.
