From 19th to 23rd December internationally acclaimed comedy-cabaret-chanteuse Miss Hope Springs rummages under the Christmas tree this year to unwrap a glittering array of original festive songs from her personal repertoire of toe-tapping showstoppers and haunting ballads, all sprinkled with a fine frosting of vintage-Vegas glitz.
Expect fabulously festive numbers live at the piano from her lost 1971 Granada TV special 'Christmas A Gogo' (to this day considered an un-aired classic) with cheeky cha cha cha's swinging jazz, finger snapping pop and instant pop sing-a-longs including Christmas Calypso, Santa is a Woman and of course her un-saintly theme song 'The Devil Made Me Do It'.
If you get enough egg nog down her she might even spill the beans on her 'Ritz to the pits life and loves in London, LA, Paris and beyond in this hysterical trip down Hope's, by now somewhat potholed, memory lane, tales like the one about the night she spent in the desert with that Englebert Humperdinck impersonator. Come and enjoy the Museum of Comedy's bar and small but perfectly formed theatre nestling in the heart of Bloomsbury...
