Cirque du Soleil alumna Madame Zazou heads south from Canada to host our Top Block Cabaret! The venerated performer is renowned not only for her incredible career traversing the globe, but for her teaching as well, passing along the art of cabaret and clowning to younger generations. In her inaugural Fools appearance, Madame Zazou shares her hilarity with Burlington audiences via a persona that the San Francisco Chronicle called “Mae West with a Quebecois accent.”
