It’s not La Clique, it’s not La Soiree, it’s Le Haggis and it’s a Scottish national treasure, back to ravish, delight and astound with a fresh new show. Le Haggis VI returns to its spiritual home in the Big Burns Supper Spiegeltent with a high-octane speed, shimmering like a tartan sporran hanging off the side of very chiselled looking lowland warrior.
Graham Main, Executive Producer of Big Burns Supper said:
Le Haggis is circus for the soul – it’s our homegrown creation and one we are incredibly proud of. Big Burns Supper’s reason for being is to bring people together through arts and culture, Le Haggis is the bold beating heart of our festival here in Dumfries as it captures our ethos of togetherness through blistering performance and international cultural collaboration.
Cabaret is the frantic beating heart of the festival and no stronger example of its ability to provide a contemporary reflection of Burns can be found than through that of the home-grown cabaret smash-hit, Le Haggis. Expect a heart wrenching Celtic rock harmony laid on rhythmic tribal anthems from an incredible live band of Scottish musicians alongside an international host of variety acts and the raunchiest cabaret.
Andrei Tazlauanu said;
I’m very excited and proud to perform for the very first time in Scotland. I’m hoping that my performances will make the audience feel just like I do when enjoying a good single malt scotch – anxious, excited, surprised, scared, nostalgic and happy.

We’re absolutely thrilled to bring our sound all the way from the Highlands and Islands to Scotland’s award-winning risqué cabaret, Le Haggis. Our soundtrack is energetic, fast and rich with unbeatable poetry of Gaelic song – and we’ve heard that the Le Haggis audience are up for a party, so we’re keen to put that to the test.’
