We all deserve more, so how about your normal night out served with a side of live music and entertainment?
We’ve rounded up our best bars with added extras, from comedy to cabaret, burlesque to ground-breaking plays, so that when you go out out you’ll never want to back in in.
The stellar line-up at The Tommyfield is, frankly, embarrassingly good.
With Joe Lycett, Jack Dee, Josh Widdecombe, Aisling Bee, Sindhu Vee, Maisie Adam, Nish Kumar and Tim Key performing in the last week alone, it doesn’t get better than Always Be Comedy.
If you want to be part of this hotbed of comedy action, get your tickets here. Tickets cost from £12.50 and shows run up to five nights a week.
Run, don’t walk.
On the first Sunday of every month, Matron and her crew perform a sparkling drag cabaret show.
This Sunday, 12 May, from 3pm, the wonderful Wilma Ballsdrop joins the CampFruit team for THE Eurovision after-party of after parties. Curtail your come-down with a delicious Sunday roast, against a backdrop of the best Eurovision toe-tappers. A riot of laughter, live vocals and a big old boogie under our dazzling disco ball, means this will be your best Sunday yet.
Tickets cost £15 (not including the roast) and can be bought here.
