“A highly engaging, clever and thoroughly enjoyable hour”
★★★★★ Whatsonstage.com

“Deliciously un-pc… A collision of comedy heritage”

★★★★ The Independent

“Snappy scripts, plentiful visual gags and a spirited love of the era!”

★★★★ Metro

“A triumph of visual comedy”

★★★★ Time Out

“A joy”

★★★★ The Telegraph

“Astoundingly versatile… an awfully-terribly-frightfully British success”

★★★★ Three Weeks

The Fitzrovia Radio Hour will be returning to London’s glittering West End in February, for four special appearances at the Ambassadors Theatre!

Yes, on four consecutive Tuesdays, starting on Tuesday 14 February, the 1940s-inspired radio theatre troupe will be performing five thrilling tales:

Beware of the world’s largest sea monster in It Came From The Black Abyss!

Help foil the unusual threat posed by some Nazi Firemen in Westminster!

Investigate a series of curiously botanical murders in George Albion & the War of the Roses!

Gasp at a madman’s chronographic insanity in… House of Clocks!

Thrill to an epic adventure deep below the cliffs of Cornwall… Tin!

All proudly sponsored by Clipstone Ceylon Tea! When life turns sticky, bring calm with a cup of Clipstone!

What better way could there be to fend off those cruel winter blues than seeing the show that John Sargeant on the BBC’s Review Show called “magic”, Time Out labelled a “triumph” and the Daily Telegraph considered “a joy”!

And, if you book before 31 December, you will be entitled to our special “Early Bird” discount! See below for details!

White Mischief presents a unique night of food and ambient entertainment in a 1600s Inigo Jones country house just outside London. This will be a treat for passionate romantics, cynical poets and all those who recall the splendour of our “Sandman” and “Bluebeard” Georgian mansion parties in ’08 and ’09.

Held just before Valentine’s Day, “A Moveable Feast” marks the first time we have taken over a house outside London. Together with some of the creative team from Boom Boom Club, whose notorious revels at the Old Vic Tunnels wowed London throughout last year, we will pepper an array of up-close performances around the building, including acrobalance, close-up magic, juggling, burlesque, music and story-telling.

THE CABARET

Rebekah Delgado – Singer / Songwriter
The Late Night Shop – Cabaret troupe
Hugo Maciel – Juggler and Stilts-walker
Luna Rosa – Exotic Dancer
Felipe Reyes – Acrobat and Tumbler
Cherry and Ruby – Burlesque Duo
A String Trio performing well-known romantic melodies
A roving gypsy-jazz accordion and trombone duo

A vintage cinema salon will be hosted by Ophelia Bitz’s ArtWank

DJs and dancing will take place in the cellars beneath the house
