Phoenix Arts Club London: what's on

A basement under the Phoenix Theatre that has been running for more than thirty five years, originally as a place for theatre people to drink after curtain down. Cabaret, drag and variety most nights of the week. Dragaoke on Tuesdays is free to get into, Sing Out Louise! is a room full of people and one piano, and the Saturday Supershow runs twice a night once a month. Small, low ceilinged, and the better for it.
