At this, the opening gala of the glorious Spiegeltent, the cream of the cabaret crop fight for the most glamorous and absurd award around

Crazy, kitsch, classic and calamitous, expect a range of performances set to twist minds. Hosted by the queen of Guilty Pleasures DJ Anna Greenwood and featuring a host of the best of the festival, this is sure to be the silliest night of the season. Copenhagen, eat your heart out – we’ve got a Spiegeltent in the centre of London. An even more alternative Eurovision – now with added countries! Line-up includes some of our favourite folk, including Bourgeois and Maurice, Des O'Connor, Dusty Limits and more.
