Event information

Join us for a festive variety show at one of the most unique venues in London: the crematorium of West Norwood Cemetery, on of the Magnificent Seven Victorian Cemeteries.

ROBERT WHITE

Robert White is the only gay, Aspergic, quarter-Welsh comic on the British comedy circuit. Known for his brilliant timing and performance style, Robert’s chaotic stage presence, improvisational skills and delivery helped him shoot into the mainstream when he was runner-up on UK’s biggest television talent competition, Britain's Got Talent. His performances were typically anarchic but hilarious. His madcap stage presence, improvised songs and unique approach to comedy won over the judges, audience and viewers at home from the very first episode of the show all the way through to the final.

“Get him on Shooting Stars - Robert White’s show is a jaw-dropping riot…the mix of lewd innuendo, cheesy jokes, music hall songs played on a knackered keyboard and sound-effects games makes for a side-splitting hour.” The List

BEC HILL

Australian-born Bec Hill is an award-winning comedy performer and sought-after television writer who has gained an international cult following thanks to her never-ending inventiveness on TV, social media and in live shows. She has a talent for incorporating arts-and-crafts into her stand-up routines, resulting in an unforgettable and self-taught performance style that she calls “paper-puppetry”. She is also a sought-after comedy writer, which started when her one-liners were regularly featured in "best joke" lists by "reputable" sources like The Telegraph, Dave, The Guardian, The Independent, Daily Record and Buzzfeed which wasn't surprising, as she was the creator of the UK’s first pun-based comedy night, Pun Run.

“Bec Hill: exuberant, daft and inventive.” ★★★★ The Scotsman

“There’s something special about Bec Hill.” ★★★★ The Times

MAT RICARDO

For the last three decades, Mat Ricardo has carved out a living travelling around the world performing tricks – feats of dexterity, juggling, balance and associated manipulative miscellanea. While his feet have trod the boards of theatres, the shiny floors of TV studios and the cobblestones of piazzas, his hands have pulled tablecloths off and back onto tables, flipped hats, bounced balls, spun plates, and done all manner of crowd-pleasing, jaw-dropping malarkey.

"Slick, hugely enjoyable...self-deprecating and very funny. A consummate act with terrific humour and genuine skill. This showman deserves your applause." The Guardian

"Undoubtedly one of the greatest variety artists working today." The Scotsman

"Amazing." HRH King Charles III

AND YOUR HOST: BEN VAN DER VELDE

One of the quickest wits around and a much-loved compere, he always brings a jam-packed back of nonsense, silliness and wisecracks to every gig he hosts.

"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine
