Tales From a Cabaret

The small, starkly lit, subterranean venue of Fingers Piano Bar lent itself perfectly to this intriguing, cleverly paced, slightly mysterious set from the enigmatic fellows calling themselves the Creative Martyrs.
A slow start commanded a puzzled silence from an inquisitive audience. But as the rather shoddily suited and grease painted Joel Grey/ Laurel n Hardy look-a-like duo launched from mime into surreal film-noir narration conjuring imaginations of circus/vaudeville acts from a black and white era, the evening gathered momentum.
Excellent, original songs accompanied by mildly sinister cello, kazoo and ukulele - plus clever interaction with a more and more appreciative audience created a truly entertaining evening. Absolutely loved it!
