Highgate Calendar – Public events in Highgate, London

Doffing our cap to the traditions of vaudeville and the origins of circus and cabaret, acclaimed circus blogger Lu Cyrcus curates this very special night, led by Cirque du Soleil’s lead clown Sean Kempton. New and old combine in this evening of contemporary varieté, featuring everything from pole dancing to aerial rope and trapeze, where burlesque meets juggling kettle bells, with a dash of musical saw thrown in for good measure.

A night to tease, whisper and gasp – Ssshhh!

Fantastic Voyage: a Bowie Circus Cabaret @ Jacksons Lane

Tickets

Jul 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

David Bowie loved the circus, and we love David Bowie.

Jacksons Lane pays its respects with a once-in-a-lifetime night of spectacular sound and vision that we think will blow your minds. Performers from across the globe come together to celebrate Ziggy, the Thin White Duke, and maybe even Jareth the Goblin King as they choose their favourite Bowie look and song for a night of spaceman-inspired circus that’s out of this world.

Jazz in the House: Cellicious @ Lauderdale House

Tickets

Sep 22 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Two cellist/jazz singers join forces to express their take on the world of standards, Latin, originals plus more.

Kate Shortt, cellist, singer songwriter, cabaret artists and comedienne is known for her avant garde improvisations and off the wall humour.

‘…Shortt’s solo took the honours. It was an unusual but impressive juxtaposition of overtones, atonality and snatches of delicate folk melodies…’ – Ian Mann, Jazz Reviewer

Rupert Gillett, multi instrumentalist, singer, composer and jazz bassist is also experienced in rock, blues and Eastern European styles.

‘…The stand out performance came from Rupert Gillett. Great cellist with comical side and songs that were instantly playing in your head…’ – Fiona Jarvis, Blue Badge Style

Sit back and enjoy this Cellicious ride from bebop to the blues and Bach again!
