LIVE
The Sugarcoated Sisters are live musical comedians as well as content creators.
Tabby plays double bass and flute and Chloe plays guitar and the steel drum. They use loop pedals and vocal effects and their original songs cover similar topics to their online content. Their debut live show Bittersweet was all about the joys and pitfalls of moving back to their hometown to live with their parents.
Their live act includes acoustic-folky instrumentation, burlesque, interpretive dance, matching outfits, exposed costume changes, salsa, and even some circus tricks & lifts.
In April 2026, Chloe & Tabby headlined the Musical Comedy Awards, which was a real full-circle moment, because their first-ever live gig as the Sugarcoated Sisters was at the MCA heats way back in 2022! And their third-ever live gig was the 2022 final, where they went on to win "Best Newcomer". So it was a real honour to return to the same stage as headliners four years later!
PAST SHOWS
Tabby & Chloe entered the live comedy scene in Jan 2022, armed with a guitar, a double bass and scathingly rude original songs. They won Best Newcomer at the Musical Comedy Awards 2022 and decided to take their debut show Sugarcoated Sisters: Bittersweet to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that year!
'Bittersweet' was a smash hit at Ed Fringe 2022: it sold out and received extensive media coverage (BBC Click, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 4, BBC Scotland, Heart Breakfast Show, The Scotsman, Sunday Times Culture, Edinburgh Unlocked, and many more) as well as excellent 5 & 4* reviews. Following its success, the show transferred to Soho Theatre for another sold-out run!
