Performance artist Jonny Woo headlines a stacked line-up for the second edition of his Un-Royal Variety cabaret show at Soho Theatre Walthamstow in late November
Following a decadent relaunch in its new Soho Theatre Walthamstow home last year, Jonny Woo’s Un-Royal Variety is back, showcasing alternative comedy, cabaret and underground performance art.
The spectacle, created and hosted by Jonny Woo, hits the Hoe Street venue in for three nights in late November bringing with it a major cast, kicking off Soho Theatre Walthamstow’s festive season in style.
Joining Jonny Woo this year will be (in alphabetical order): Ben Welch, Bourgeois & Maurice, Dairy King (Thursday), Dan Wye (Friday), David Hoyle, Diane Chorley, Figs in Wigs (Saturday), Jayde Adams, Jeanie and The White Boys (Thursday and Saturday), Josh Glanc, Katy Baird (Thursday), Kemah Bob, Kitty Bang Bang, Lawunda (Friday), Lottie Croucher’s Maude Adams and All Those Children, Lynks (Friday), Margo Marshall, Megasquirt, Mimi Chanel (Saturday), Rozalla (Friday), Sharon Le Grand (Saturday), and Steve Porters (Friday), with even more names to be announced.
Un-Royal Variety Creator Jonny Woo said: “Last year we took over Soho Theatre Walthamstow and turned it upside down, so of course we had to come back to cause more queer chaos in 2026.
“Un-Royal Variety is a love letter to the alternative performance scene from London and beyond, a kooky coterie of underground legends, cult favourites and future stars, across live music, cabaret, dance, comedy and more. With so much talent on stage, this will be a night to remember, just in time to ring in the festive season.”
Tickets for performances at Soho Theatre Walthamstow 26th – 28th November, with a gala performance on 26 November, are available here
