March 3rd Full Line-up:

Maximilian Somerset
Award winning TV magician Maximilian Somerset is one of the few privileged to be an Honorary Inner Member of the Prestigious Magic Circle, London. He has performed for Celebrities; Royalty; Barristers and Road Sweepers alike.
Max has had his own prime time TV show on BBC 1; performed three sell out stage shows at the Magic Circle and has twice played the Organ at the Royal Albert Hall. However, you may also know him as the resident close- up Magician at the Dover Street Arts Club in Mayfair. For Max, the key is diversity and adaptability.
He calls himself “The Unusualist” because his magic, far from being associated with all the ‘choose a card any card’ clichés, is something more profound.

Laurence Owen
Laurence Owen is a singer-storyteller from London. Often funny, always clever and rarely tasteful, Laurence’s bookishly spiky tales come with all the blood and thunder of Nick Cave or Scott Walker, but through the eyes of someone who might once have captained the school chess club. “Genius – a glorious shot of pure dark satire” – Broadway Baby

An urbane, moronic and hedonistic clown. Hilarious.’ Three Weeks.
