Backed either by his trademark shrunken guitar or a canned cinematic orchestra, Laurence's musical style is unusually dramatic and far-reaching for a comedy act, and is packed with melodramatic storytelling, spiky observations and meticulous attention to detail. Laurence made his solo debut at the Edinburgh Fringe 2014 with his hour-long show, Lullabies Of Pervland. He is currently working on his second show, Cinemusical, which will debut in 2015. Aside from comedy, he is also an award-winning film and theatre composer. Visit his composer website, www.laurenceowen.co.uk for details.

About Verity and Victoria Hooray Cabaret is a fabulous and irreverent show held at one of London's quirkiest venues, Paper Dress Vintage in Shoreditch. Co-producer and host Victoria Kember studied Alternative Theatre at University, then joined a theatre company 'Ovaplay' before taking her debut show 'Where Have All The Ladies Gone?' to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2010, about which the critics said: "This is a rare gem, a miniature tour de force" "Her hilarious satire of current class-based attitudes and prejudices, beautifully complemented by an engaging physical performance, struck just the right note" "She exploited her powerful stage presence and sexual magnetism with an intelligence and sophistication that the preceding act entirely lacked" Victoria is now heavily involved in the comedy scene, performing stand-up and hosting cabaret as well as creating bespoke burlesque and comedy events around the capital with VV Events. In 2013, Victoria joined forced with cabaret regular and sometime burlesque performer Verity Lewis. A graduate of Little Lady Luscious, Verity has performed and stage managed as VeeVee Semillon at many of London’s most prominent cabaret venues. Both dressed as men when they first met, it was three months before Victoria and Verity really knew what the other looked like. But somehow they knew it would be the start of something beautiful and in the past 18 months, Hooray Cabaret and VV Events have become just that. With a different theme each month, Hooray brings you the best in new comedy, burlesque and musical talent. In recent months Hooray has taken us to the circus, the summer festival and the B-movies, got married and spent Christmas at Nana's. In 2014 alone, their stage was graced by The Independent and Guardian's 'one to watch', comedian Dane Baptiste, critically-acclaimed cabaret artist Frank Sanazi and BBC Radio New Comedy finalist Tom Ward, as well as Burlesque Idol 2014 winner, Pearl Grey and runner-up, Good Ness Gracious. The next show on 26th February will bring you the anti-Valentine's exes swap-shop. See their Facebook page for more.

Much laughter ensued, but also chat about: Furlesque; 400 Year Old Art Forms; Do Your Parents Know What You Do??; 4 Year Old Clown Commander; Performance Seeking Missile; Song to Silence; Classical Charts into Magic; Not Traditional School; Angela de Castro; Do It Properly!; Being a Performer is Being a Business; Happy Accidents are the Best; Sweaty Accidents are Better; Chance Can Give You More Ideas; Vaudeville History Holds the Key; Kiki the Writer!!; Disturbingly Positive; Street Performance; Audiences are Mysterious; Christmas Audiences are… Different…; Giants of Negativity VS Miniature Positive Incidents; Psychology Confessional; Convoluted Passages to Performance; Escapology and Children’s Parties; Balloon Model Hoover; Kiki’s Lobotomy Business; If Something Scares You, You Should Probably Do It (Maybe); Variety of Fringes; Post-Its; Free Show Outside Kiki’s House; The Worst Show Became the Best Show; How to Respond When You Make Bad Things; Living Up To Expectations; Flabby, Uninspiring Jesus; Experiencing Art Through Posters; Can You Tell If It’s Funny?; Video Your First Outing; NSFW Fan Dance Surprise; Vaudeville Factoid: Break A Leg; Very Superstitious; Idols Watching Your Failures; You Can Accept the Applause.  About Kiki Kiki is a multi-skilled silent clown. Based in London, UK, he has performed his unique routines around the United Kingdom and abroad.  Over the years thousands have enjoyed his tried and tested routines, which draw upon his training and experience in a variety of skill-sets, including mime, physical theatre, puppetry, illusion, escapology and more.  Kiki is probably best known on the UK cabaret circuit for introducing the world to Furlesque - his quirky puppet burlesque creations. These routines have made him a regular at high profile burlesque events. A natural performer and attention seeker, Kiki had his first regular paid performance job at the age of 8, and has polished and refined his craft a little since then. He has trained in mime with celebrated physical theatre tutor Desmond Jones, clowning with the world famous Angela de Castro, puppetry with The Little Angel Theatre and circus skills at Circus Space. While all of these have proved invaluable, nothing has taught Kiki more than years and years of experimentation in front of real world audiences.  After many years of performing short cabaret routines, in 2013 Kiki launched his first hour long solo clown show. A brief preview of the show at Madame Jojos in February met with an enthusiastic audience response, and the run of the show at Brighton Fringe attracted good audiences and 5 star reviews, followed by a successful run in Grimsby.  Kiki likes writing in the third person.
