Friend of mine is looking for a cabaret venue in Central London. She’s a Scottish performer with an established but select following, was a known name in Scotland for acting/singing/comedy/performance but now semi-retired, looking to do some shows around the country, mix of songs and poetry. For those gigs, she doesn't have a musician, so it's the ability to play tracks and sing live to those.
Venue of capacity 50-100 is probably about right, Crazy Coqs could be good but she’s struggling to get in there as she has a TV/theatrical agent but not a music agent so they’re a bit hesitant about her ability to draw a crowd.
Anyway, all a long way round to asking for ideas for cabaret spaces in London that might be a fit for her - this is for (initially at least) a one-off show, it’s not about building a “name”, she’ll bring a lot of her own audience, so it’s not necessarily a great fit for a venue that puts a lot of focus on “programming”. A venue that allows free hire in return for bar spend would be good, so even a civilised venue within a pub or bar could be suitable.
Ideas welcome…
