An intimate cabaret celebrating what Christmas really means to us all.
Christmas is a funny old time — magical for some, messy for others, yet memorable for everyone. This festive cabaret unwraps the season with elegance, humour, and heart, as a dazzling lineup of performers share their own take on what Christmas means to them.
Expect a night of classy chaos and soulful sincerity: from sparkling show tunes to bittersweet ballads, cheeky comedy to nostalgic reflections. Whether you adore the tinsel or dread the turkey, this is Christmas seen through every lens — authentic, real, and beautifully human. Held at renowned The Bedford Pub in Balham in the stunning Club Room.
Dress up (highly encouraged!), grab a glass of something bubbly, and join us for a night that’s part celebration, part confession, and entirely unforgettable.
