SEPTEMBER DECEMBER 2016 In the four years Crazy Coqs has been open, it gained many accolades and much recognition for bringing ‘classical cabaret’ back to London, in a glamorous setting unlike any other in the capital. Such has been the appetite for live performance in this very intimate venue that we felt it was now time to broaden our horizons to encompass the entire building and showcase a wider range of talent. I am excited to share with you the new Live At Zédel programme, curated alongside Alex Fane and United Agents, which kicks off this September. It presents a unique combination of all forms of live entertainment in one extraordinary building, including music, theatre, comedy and literary events. Whilst maintaining the cabaret genre for which Crazy Coqs is so well known, Live At Zédel will introduce classical music in the form of the Philharmonia Orchestra’s residency, diverse acts such as Doc Brown and Grayson Perry, emerging young artists and theatre groups such as Damsel Productions, Dolls Eye Theatre and Althea Theatre, and a whole host BOOKING of incredible live music, from Clare Teal to Reuben James.
