They come across dancing fish, clairvoyant clams, surfer postmen, jazz lobsters and more.

However, the talent pools are dry and filled with plastic and there are rumours that a monster is eating cabaret performers.

Will plastic destroy the oceans, what is killing all the cabaret acts and who will perform at a 45th wedding anniversary party?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The next two shows take place at the Cambridge Street venue on November 19 and December 17.

The aim of show Dry Wit on November 19 is to show that you can have a laugh without a drink.

BAFTA winner Jo Caulfield, Phoenix Nights veteran Archie Kelly and musical comedian Christian Reilly all appear in the free show at Theatre Deli, Eyre Street.

Health promotion programme Drink Wise, Age Well has put the show together.
