about
Bourgeois & Maurice are a cabaret act based in London, described by Time Out London as 'neo cabaret'. The duo, formed in 2007, consists of Liv Morris and George Heyworth, who met while training at Royal Holloway, University of London. Their first full-length show Social Work premiered at Soho Theatre in 2009 and subsequently toured the UK, winning an Argus Angel Award in Brighton. Subsequent shows include Shedding Skin at Manchester's Queer Up North Festival and Soho Theatre in London and Can't Dance at Sadler's Wells in Islington, London. Can't Dance used video contributions from choreographers Lil' Tim and the Balletboyz and performance artist David Hoyle. Initially vague about the relationship to each other in early performances, the duo's second show, Shedding Skin, expanded on the characters' backstories, claiming that Georgeois Bourgeois and Maurice Maurice are siblings who killed their parents in a freak accident during the Great Storm of 1987. The duo performed at the Glasgay! Festival in 2011. Bourgeois & Maurice won the Best Music-Based Act title at the 2012 London Cabaret Awards and in 2010 they won Time Out London's Alternative Eurovision title. Having performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009, in August 2012 they returned to the Fringe with Sugartits. The duo have released two albums, Musical Couture in March 2009, and Shedding Skin in January 2011.
