Re-Animator The Bloody Musical, The Drayton Arms
There’s a trailer for an American version of Re-Animator The Musical that features a large cast, impressive songs and a heavy dose of blood and gore that makes it look like it’s a delight, at least if you’re fond of musical parodies of daft comedy horror films. As it goes they’re one of my favourite…

Eye Say, Eye Say, Eye Say – Online
“Eye Say, Eye Say, Eye Say” brought together thirteen visually impaired comedians all to perform live on Saturday evening, which they did either in person at Goodenough College in London or via Zoom.

Mr Henry Moss – Quadruple Thre4t, Vault Festival
A one man show which is a mix of music, cabaret and comedy, Henry Moss’s Quadruple Thre4t sees the Australian performer take on a number of characters as he explores the nature of fame, the way many become obsessed by it, and how they’re desperate to remain in the limelight even if it is at…

Typical, Soho Theatre
As we entered the Soho Theatre’s upstairs room this evening Richard Blackwood was laying down without moving on a raised hard surface, and stayed there for a good ten minutes plus as the audience slowly filtered in. But the moment the lights went down he leapt up and turned in an astonishing performance, a burst…

Villain, Interrupted – Etcetera Theatre
Ever since I was a young child I’d been a huge fan superheroes, and supervillains too, so that’s been almost forty years of reading and watching them. I’ve enjoyed the majority of the Marvel movies and even some of the DC ones too, well, you know, Wonder Woman and Shazam anyhow, but just last night…

Louisa Keight – Jinkies, The Camden Head
Louisa Keight’s Jinkies is a one woman sketch show which is so good and remarkably varied that it suggests that Keight deserves to make it big, and on to our tv screens, as soon as possible. It’s not just the wealth of ideas that impress as she sings, dances, and takes on a variety of…
