The Big Fibbers

BEAUTIFUL BUCKET OF FUN

 

Mad cartoon

Between April 2005 and September 2008 The Big Fibbers ran one of the best cabaret shows in London - "a variety show for the 21st century", said Time Out, London's Secret Scenes. Based mainly at The Bodrum Cafe, Stoke Newington ,but also in other venues all over London, The Bucket of Fun was home to some of London's more unusual acts.

It was described thus:
"The idea is to create a variety show for the 21st century in the basement bar of one of Stokie's fave turkish cafés. There are be musical turns, cabaret, poets, the odd stand-up (the odder the better), lots of drunken tomfoolery, NO jugglers - the ceiling isn't high enough - and amazing sounds from The Imperial Starship of Noise. And of course The Big Fibbers and - The Beautiful Bucket of Fun - whatever that is - probably a big bucket containing some strange and beautiful things which perhaps you might be able to win."

2nd Thursday of every month

A bigger and more glamorous venue than the Bodrum Café in Stokie but with the same eclectic mix of weird and wonderful acts that have proved so popular at the Stokie Bucket. There will be musical turns, cabaret, poets, the odd stand-up (the odder the better) and lots of drunken tomfoolery. And with the high ceiling at The Walrus there might even be jugglers and acrobats! With amazing sounds from The Imperial Starship of Noise.

THE BIG FIBBERS BEAUTIFUL BUCKET OF BURLESQUE!

Yes! The Big Fibbers leap or more like lurch sideways into the glamorous and decadent world of burlesque. So come along to an evening of zany fools, zappy showgirls, fun, feathers and zimmer frames. (that's the Painted Lady's zimmer frame and not the Big Fibber's)
Dressing up, dressing fantastically, dressing daringly and deliciously will be greatly appreciated
