Late-Night Party - Live Music & Cabaret!

This year's New Year's Eve Party at legendary East London venue Jamboree with the Antic Follies cast of players and performers, with a line up veering from circus performance to gypsy vaudeville music and burlesque! the dirty alternative to Soho's glitz, a diabolical night of live music, cabaret and burlesque."

The line-up!

Heavy Metal Pete!
Heavy Metal Pete started his career as a humble juggling busker. After honing his skills on the streets of London, he was asked to tour for six months with Norfolk-based Circus Ferell and has since not looked back. Combining circus skills with traditional sideshow and a frenzied stage persona, Pete has shocked and delighted audiences all over the world, and in 2011 was honoured to be asked to bring his unique brand of madness to the Cannes Film Festival. He currently performs regularly at Londons exclusive Cirque Du Soir and can often be found, with his bed of nails, wowing crowds of tourists on Covent Garden Piazza.

Eva Von Schnippisch!
Eva's über quick wit and razor-sharp tongue makes her one of the fastest, finest and furiously funny Weimar Vixen Cabaret Compéres and interactive musical comedy acts on the scene. With a spectacular belting voice, exceptional comedy timing, and unrivalled audience interaction skills, she is a strict-mistress with a warm heart that "holds the audience's attention like no other"...and leaves them deeply satisfied. Eva is more than the highly sought-after 'triple-threat'...she's a veritable quintuple-threat! Cheeky and charming, smooth and alluring...slightly unhinged and desperate for love: a true femme-fatale.

Crazy Pony!
Crazy Pony Show is a crossover between music, circus and comedy. This duet will take you on an intense and entertaining journey; virtuosic banjo picking and a charming bass with sweet harmonies meet acrobatics, contortion and incredible surprises leaving you on the edge of your seat and entranced! Created in 2011, the duo of French-speaking Swiss Léa Rovero and English Frank Powlesland, combine their talents and their love for Bluegrass to create this unique "one of a kind" show. Crazy Pony Show has already performed all over Europe and beyond, winning first prize in two competitions

Headline Band - The Bohemianauts!

Tom Baker on accordion,
Raf Lijtman on guitar,
Nick Doyne-Ditmas on double bass,
Jake Stevens on trombone
