Back on home soil after a hit season at Sydney Opera House and an Adelaide Fringe debut, Piff the Magic Dragon comes to Jacksons Lane with his own brand of absurd magic and comedy.

As seen on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and racking up more than 6 million hits on YouTube, Piff has appeared with The Muppets at Radio City Music Hall, NYC, and performed to over 150,000 people as opening act for Mumford & Sons on their recent UK tour.

But it’s not all about the dragon. Mr Piffles, the World’s First Magic Performing Chihuahua™ will be cheating death nightly as he is laminated live on stage, confronts the Strait Jacket of Insanity and pits himself against the Cannon of Certain Doom.

Will Piff find his princess? Will Mr Piffles survive? Will you be there if he doesn’t?

“A stunningly good magician” Penn & Teller

A monthly showcase for new songwriters/bands: each act performs two of their own songs and one cover version by the featured artist of the month.

Now established as one of London’s premier music nights, “Under the Influence” at the Boogaloo has really taken off over the last two years, having been featured as pick of the week in the Guardian Guide and had write ups in Time Out, The Metro and others.

Since it began in June 2010 there have been nights dedicated to Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Lou Reed, Billy Bragg, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart, The Specials, Blondie, Jacques Brel, Ray Davies, Pixies, Belle & Sebastian, Kate Bush, The Clash, The Cure, Prince & more.

The night attracts huge crowds and an increasingly varied and exciting range of signed and unsigned acts; from the indie pop of Hatcham Social, the gritty rhythm & blues of The Joker & The Thief, right through to the whisky-stained croon of Tom Mckean & the Emperors and the quirky songs of Helen McCookerybook.

Their website is regularly updated with videos of some of the best performances, photos, reviews and more: http://undertheinfluencenight.com

Exciting young opera troupe Pop-up Opera bring their production, La Serva Padrona & Rita to The Bull, Highgate on Tuesday 18th of June at 7.30pm

La Serva Padrona & Rita

Two one-act operas take place on the same stage, their scenes and stories intertwined. One mute servant appears in both, tying the two tales together.

A scene of commotion arises when the dominating Rita and her timid husband Peppe receive an unexpected visit from Rita’s first husband Gaspar. Each believing the other to have died, Gaspar unknowingly arrives seeking Rita’s death certificate so he can remarry. Peppe sees it as an opportunity to escape, as Gaspar is still Rita’s legal husband. The two men agree to a game, the winner of which will have to stay with Rita. Each of them tries to lose, but Gaspar cunningly manipulates Rita and Peppe to fall in love again.

Meanwhile, wealthy old bachelor Uberto is kept under the thumb of his maid Serpina.

He enlists his manservant Vespone to help him get rid of Serpina by finding him a wife. Serpina convinces Vespone to trick Uberto into marrying her. Their elaborate plan works and by the time Uberto has agreed to marry Serpina he realises he has loved her all along.
“Pop-Up Opera aim to take opera out to the ‘hesitant, as well as to dedicated opera lovers’. I confess to having been hesitant, but I’m suddenly in danger of becoming dedicated.” Everything Theatre

“…a completely fresh approach to a traditionally fusty genre. It’s frenetic, light-hearted and engaging.”
Plays to See

“Basically, book tickets now. If only because some of these voices may be stars in ten years’ time, and you can say you saw them first, singing out of a window onto Dean Street.” The Public Reviews

“If any group can make opera converts, this one can.” Broadway Baby

“If you want an entertaining evening, this is the opera to see.” British Theatre Guide

“Talent-packed” The Evening Standard

mirth, marvels and the mysterious

Winner of The Magic Circle Comedy Award, Ian Keable performs the favourite tricks of Charles Dickens, who, in addition to being one of the world’s greatest writers, was an expert conjuror. This humorous and mystifying show also reveals Dickens’s sceptical fascination in spiritualism and recreates some of the spooky practices of the Victorian psychics.

Crap Film Club is a place to celebrate and commiserate with the movies that went straight to DVD. It’s where we accept poor scripts, poor acting and poor camera work, and provide a platform of non-judgement. In fact, the less critically acclaimed the film the better. Together we watch the ridiculous, we enjoy the non-believable and we congratulate the absurd.

This month’s film title to follow…
