Tom Baker hosts an evening of absurd humour, music, comic song + alien cabaret in celebration of the interstellar movies + the world's best sci-fi franchise.

Featuring:
Michael Brunström
Alternative comedian, and creator of surreal stunts and skits. Winner of the 2015 Malcom Hardee Award for Comic Originality. Known to impersonate airports and gnaw the legs off a heron. Expect the unexpected.
Lilly Snatchdragon
London Burlesque legend. Has performed extensively on the London Burlesque scene, at such nights as Are You Game, Cabaret Roulette, The Meth Lab and many others. She will present a burlesque based on the notorious teddy bear-like aliens who helped defeat the empire.
The Fabulous Bakewell Boys
British Luchadors turned working men's club comedians, the Fabulous Bakewell Boys perform regularly at Lucha Britannia, have been regulars at It's YOUR Funeral, and are producing their own variety night - QUICHE. They are masters of bad puns, inappropriate karaoke and unnecessary wrestling. Trigger warning: bad droids.
Claire Benjamin
Comedy chanteuse and character comedian. A talented perfomer and reular at a variety of nights across London, Ms Benjamin has prepared us something about the perils of a certain famously imprisoned Princess...
Milky Sugar
Burlesque dancer and singer, Milky Sugar will present an act evoking the spirit of the indentured dancers at Jabba's palace.
H P Lovebox
Tentacled crooner and avatar of the Great Old Ones, H P Lovebox has a voice to die from and his own disturbing take on alien burlesque.
PLUS
Live musical interludes by Commander Pryck van Dyke and his Imperial Swing Band, featuring members of Rum Buffalo and the Smoky Taps Collective playing their own interpretations of the classic music from the films.
The execution of a very special guest star - the most hated character in the franchise. Can you guess who it might be..?
Fancy dress appropriate to the theme is encouraged, with a discount for those making the effort, and a prize for the best costume.
Post show DJ set from Slim Chance (Cafe de Paris, Are You Game)
