This is no children's tale

There's wine for a start

You are cordially invited to attend a party quite like no other, as Wind-Up Collective presents 'Black Pudding', an enticing evening of cabaret, dark comedy, live music, and immersive theatre for your mature selves to enjoy

"Fresh and incredibly funny, an intrinsically beautiful show, 4 stars!" Gay Times

"A triumph; entertaining, thought- provoking, and simply bizarre, 4 stars!" What's Peen Seen?

Come on down and mingle with those oh-so-famous faces from your childhood - or at least the ones that should have been there - whilst enjoying our more adult entertainment

"Made in Chelsea meets Into the Woods (in the very best possible way) and Brothers Grimm meets Jeremy Kyle meets Shrek meets Jewish Mother of the Year and just for good measure a little Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" - Gay Times on 'Black Pudding'

Following on from the sell-out success of absurd Tube ride 'Box Junction', which travelled through Camden People's Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, and The Accidental Festival, Wind-Up Collective take you on their second immersive adventure, fresh from a taster being served up as a finalist piece at the Roundhouse Show Slam 2012

"Like all good avant-garde, kooky cabaret in the Rocky Horror vein, this is a party, you are the guests - let your hair down." Views from the Gods

"Shoved in your face like a bowl of over-whipped cream... a tasty mix of melodrama and realism." The London Aisle

After the premiere of 'Black Pudding' in its entirety hit The Bussey Building and Oxford House for a recent successful run, now catch 'Black Pudding' and its mixture of richness at Rich Mix!

    Following rave reviews and the sellout success of the inaugural event last month, London's Queen of Cabaret and creator of the world famous Wam Bam Club Lady Alex is proud to present: Wam Bam Club at Bloomsbury Ballroom 2 on Friday 31st May

    What a treat! Seeing Lady Alex in action … absolutely amazing - Scott

    On Friday 31st May guests can look forward to being welcomed into the venue to live music, a free glass of bubbly and a hugely popular free swing dance class at 7.30pm. The cabaret kicks off at 8pm hosted by the sensational Lady Alex alongside a stellar line up of the world's most exciting performers

    This two hour cabaret extravaganza taking place over two bespoke stages features: international showgirl Bunny Galore, breathtaking acrobatics from Packed Up, hilarious comedy from Ninia Benjamin and the amazing Irish dancers gone wild Up and Over It alongside resident dance troupe the Wam Bam Buff Boys & Belles

    Delicious food options from handpicked London restaurateurs will be available to purchase on the night alongside signature cocktails and plenty of champagne - ordered by the bucket not the bottle!

    Dancing until late!
    Come 10pm, nine piece strong fine purveyors of swing Top Shelf Jazz will take to the stage with their anarchic, original songs of exquisite filth and lecherous, hot music!

    Lady Alex said: ‘Wow! Last month's launch show at the Bloomsbury Ballroom was out of this world

    The best show I have ever seen

    I am so proud of what we have created

    A unique night with a spectacular show and hundreds of happy faces dancing the night away to the swing band

    The audience was electric and the setting was sublime

    I can't wait for this month's show as we have the incredible Up and Over It performing

    I am literally bursting at the sequined seams to get back into the Ballroom.'
