Who we are

The Cat's Meow aims to bring together dance, music and magic to create an immersive Cabaret experience. Our hope is to bring joy and amazement to the audience, by taking them on a journey through highly polished individual acts by Irish and Irish-based artists that link together cohesively to create a memorable experience. You will be seeing sparkles for days!

Who we are

We are Kat Moiselle and Arlene Caffrey, Miss Burlesque Ireland 2014 and 2016 respectively. Two performing artists with lots of skin in the game and years of experience in producing successful, sell-out Cabaret, Burlesque and pole dance shows in Dublin: ‘The Botanical Boudoir’, ‘Stars & Strips’, ‘Kat’s Annual Vintage Tea Party’, ‘November Spawned A Monster’, ‘Bringing Sexy Back’ amongst others. We pride ourselves in creating well thought out, high quality and varied live entertainment that appeals to a wide audience. 

Now living in Carlow and Kilkenny respectively, we are aiming to create a show that local audiences will be wowed by and will talk about for a long time to come.

She has been involved in producing themed Burlesque and Cabaret shows such as ‘Kat’s Annual Vintage Tea party’, ‘Stars and Strips’ and most recently a long running underground Speakeasy show ‘The Botanical Boudoir’(but we can’t talk about that!)

Kat is known for her signature performance style of marrying comedy with classic Burlesque vibes.

Arlene Caffrey

Arlene Caffrey is a pint-sized bundle of sparks originally from Co. Louth, and is now a Kilkenny resident. She is most famous for being an OG pole dance legend; she became the first ‘Miss Pole Dance Ireland’ in 2007, and is also Miss Burlesque Ireland 2016/17.

Bringing her love of sexy flexy acrobatic antics, she has performed all over Ireland and the world including Las Vegas, Chicago, Nashville and more. When she is not gallivanting around the world you can find her at her studio sharing her love of dance; the Irish Pole Dance Academy in Dublin.

She has also worked extensively over the years in helping to promote and develop pole dancing into the art form that it is today in Ireland, by appearing on more radio, TV and media appearances than she can count.

Arlene’s signature style combines gravity defying antics with more body waves, high kicks and leg twirls than you can shake a stick at, with a dash of comedy, sexistential dread and (sometimes) depressing hipster music.

She is best known for her ‘Irish Unicorn’ winning comedy act at Pole Theatre USA 2018, and her ‘Bad Bosco’ winning Neo act at Miss Burlesque Ireland 2016 in which she hilariously ruins fond memories from Irish childhood.

When she’s not dancing, Arlene is studying for her Masters Degree in Fine Art at the Limerick School of Art & Design.
