REVIEW: PRINCE BENDOVER IN BOOTS (Royal Vauxhall Tavern) ★★★★
The Royal Vauxhall Tavern panto is back, Oh yes it is! A very untraditional and naughty take on the traditional panto bought up to date for adult years. Last years smash hit show Charming Dick did so well, it has transferred to the (appropriately named) Cockpit Theatre for the 2016 festive season. PRINCE BENDOVER IN […]

REVIEW: La Soirèe (Leicester Square) ★★★★
Christmas is coming. The lights are up and the air smells of mulled wine. In Leicester Square a collection of stalls has appeared, including the famous Spiegeltent. It’s by no means as grand as the one on Southbank, which does mean that there isn’t quite as much flexibility for certain acts. That said, they’ve done […]
