Grace Fool and Jennifer Schmennifer present...
A VAUDEVILLIAN NIGHT OF ORGANISED CLOWNERY AND UNFORCED LAUGHTER
is a London-based vaudevillian cabaret night where funny gay idiots are funny, gay and idiotic. It is sort of hosted by Grace Fool, and actually hosted by Jennifer Schmennifer. Expect drag, clowns, comedians & straight-up tomfoolery. We guarantee cheap laughs.
Fundamentally, we platform the funniest new and established cabaret artists to give you the most hilariously stupid night out of your life.
'Alternative comedy smorgasbord... a wide and varied array of talent.'
'...an eclectic and, ultimately, entertaining evening.'
'Not for everyone.'

We are on the hunt for acts to be part of our upcoming lineups, so if you're a performer of comedy and a gay* idiot then get in touch below! Here are the rules:
Your act must not take itself seriously - we are exclusively idiotic.
Slots are five minutes.
Be professional, respectful and cool.
This is not just a show for drag kings and queens (though both are likely to feature across our lineups) - the more unique your act is the better, as long as it's funny**. (Funny as in extreme belly guffaws, not funny as in 'nervous chuckles whilst audience arses clench because the room feels tense and uncomfortable'.)The gig is paid, but not much because we're a tiny operation.Hot tip - coming to see the show before you apply might help you understand the vibe/meet us so we know who you are when you submit ;)
In your message, please include ALL of the following:
Who you are
What you do
What your idea for our night is
Links to your socials AND videos of your previous work
SUBMISSIONS WITHOUT ALL FOUR OF THESE WON'T BE CONSIDERED, SO PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK!
*The definition of 'gay' is completely up to you, in our eyes there is no set meaning. However, the show is primarily made by and for queer people.**As well as comedy acts, we are also looking for high octane acts that don't take themselves too seriously, for example burlesque performers with elements of silliness.
