The Half Bap is an old name for the Cathedral Quarter because the people who lived there could only afford half a Belfast Bap. The Half Bap Cabaret is not a high-end cabaret with top hats and velvet curtains. In the true spirit of cabaret, it is alternative, rowdy and of the people – this time with added science!

Joining regular host Leonie McDonagh will be four Belfast acts; Emer Maguire, Caolan McBride, Jan Carson and Robin Price, each of which would be worth the admission price on their own.
