Spinning the music of AC/DC, Amy Winehouse, Chaka Kahn, Beyoncé, Annie Lennox, Cheap Trick, P!NK, Coldplay, U2, Serena Ryder, the Beatles and more into her acclaimed, singular musical arrangements, Sharron takes you straight to the bone with her spellbinding stories of want, of need, of love, of fear and, as always, of hysterical joy.

Sharron has been performing her sold out cabarets from South Africa to New York for the last 11 years, and this is one of her finest moments. In Sharron Matthews Naked, there is truly something for every music lover, comedy lover, as well as the lover of a good story. It is a night not to be missed.
