The Antic Follies present a spectacular Sunday night of cabaret, burlesque, comedy and live music!

“…the dirty alternative to Soho’s glitz, a diabolical night of cabaret and burlesque"

Tonight's performers are!

Johnny MacAulay! The Man of 1,000 Farces, Johnny is an artist, clown, musician and cabaret performer. His many acts include the Lion of Latin Lovers, the Icon of Iberian Illusions, and the Pulsing Peacock of Porno Prestigitation, the Burger King of Rock'n'Roll and the high-octane Psychedelic freak The Great Gary, to name just a handful. "A marvellous routine, a brilliant magician"- Nicholas Parsons

"The highlight of the evening was a clumsy Spanish magician that indulges in cheesy cruise-ship magic, only to subvert it with smart, surprising tricks: Johnny performs a wonderful bluff in which you think you're going to be groaning at bad magic, but are instead amazed".-Rhian Kennedy - Erotic Review.

What wonders will he bring for our delight this time?

Jerry Bakewell! Britain's most unsuccessful Mexican Wrestler, Jerry has branched out into lucha-themed stand-up comedy. As a wrestler, he has performed up and down the country, as well as being one of the team at the legendary Lucha Brittania nights. As comedian he has performed at many quality nights such as The Double R Club, Star Wars themed cabaret May The Farce Be With You, and many Cabaret vs Cancer events. Oh, and he was once on Britain's Got Talent.

Annabel Bashford! (Pictured) A London-based clown, theatre maker and facilitatoRr, Annabel has a flair for dark comedy, clown and character work. Trained in Paris with Philippe Gaulier and more recently at the School for Comedy Beasts in USA with Deanna Fleysher, she has recently birthed The Paranormal Portal of Stupidity (All Good Bookshop, PEN Theatre) a clown night about cryptids. Last year she performed alongside Lucy Hopkins in Quing (Wardrobe Theatre). She has appeared at Lost Cabaret, London Clown Festival and the Soho Thearte.

"A delightfully bizarre performance that will have you splitting your time between laughing and questioning exactly what it is that you are witnessing." - Broadway Baby on Annabel Bashford in Fool's Moon Cabaret, Soho Theatre 2024

Tom Baker! Tom is the regular host Antic Follies, the accordionist/frontman of The Bohemianauts, a cabaret artist and actor. He has performed extensively around the London cabaret scene as a compere, a solo singer/accordionist, and weird tentacle-faced crooner H P Lovebox. Tonight, in addition to hosting, he will perform an act together with his Victorian ventriloquist dummy Hugo.

Post-cabaret music this month will be provided by Flaene!

Flaene is an Anglo-Irish singer-songwriter and spoken word artist who pens dark alt-folk storytelling songs full of myth and mist. In possession of a voice described as "well trampled velvet" Flaene currently resides and rehearses in a long-disused former grist mill on the southern shore of the River Thames. His debut album 'Spoor' came out in Feb 2025 and, at Antic Follies, Flaene and friends will be presenting songs from that album and from the next album 'Trespass', due out at the end of 2026. On the night Flæne and his acoustic guitar and voice will be joined by Nick Doyne-Ditmas on double bass and voice and Sir Eddie Reel on percussion.
