Going Cabaret

As you may, or may not know at the moment, I am currently one of the judges for the London Cabaret Awards. Now in their 9th year, the awards have been set up by that doyenne of the cabaret scene Paul L Martin, in order to celebrate the vast array of cabaret on offer in the capital. It's a hefty task to undertake but fortunately I am not alone and my fellow judges and I welcome all applicants for consideration. If you are performing in London and one of us can make it, we'll do our utmost to get there.

As if Paul L Martin wasn't busy enough, he is also organising The Cabaret Convention - a massive 'get-together' of cabaret folk, which takes place in London every year. For those new to the business, it offers so many possibilities in terms of networking and gives you a chance to chat with people who are actually making a living as performers. Classes, panel discussions, cabaret films and choirs - I am currently in the process of persuading Sean to do a feather demonstration, which will be a must for any designer!

Put simply, if you want to take your cabaret career seriously, this is the perfect place to start!
