A day and night of cabaret, comedy and DJs, with a performance from the sensational underground Belarus Free Theatre!

Join Index on Censorship, the UK’s leading freedom of expression organisation, and the Belarus Free Theatre at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, for a packed night of cabaret, comedy from Sony award short listed Miriam Elia and The Fix – and all-night mischief. Come and see a mischievous mix of Belarusian funk DJs, live music, cabaret and comedians – all for the exceptionally brave people who dare to speak up, and challenge Belarus’s dictator Lukashenko.

The multi-award winning Belarus Free Theatre, banned in their native Belarus, is renowned for staging underground and uncensored performances that draw attention to the continuing problems faced by Belarusians in “Europe’s last dictatorship”. Their recent performances, including at the Soho Theatre, London and the Under the Radar Festival, New York, have won widespread acclaim. On July 13 the troop performed a rendition of ‘Numbers’ in an event hosted by Index on Censorship and presented by Tom Stoppard at the Free Word Centre in London.

Reviews of the Belarus Free Theatre:

“Intensely dramatic and extremely well acted… they are truly gifted, devoted, utterly focused… I feel humbled… these are people are on the barricades, they’re brave”

Sir Tom Stoppard

‘This dazzling production… shows a spiritual resilience that makes dictatorship look even more inflexible and absurd.’

The Guardian *****

‘As gripping and accomplished a piece of theatre as you’ll find in London this year… this is world class theatre, built on the raw guts of experience’

The Telegraph *****

Friends of Panik Mike H and Mike P have got together more through indecision than collaboration to bring what sounds to be a great night of fun and frolics at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club.
Taking Mike H’s love of the 1984 Diamond Dogs album by David Bowie as their inspiration and Mike P’s love of ‘the dogs’ (races that is!), they have decided to incorporate the two – culminating in David Bowie at the Races.

With what promises to be night of good music, gambling, CHEAP booze, dressing up like Bowie or a race punter and much hi-jinx!  Including:

David Bowie Cabaret

**The Man Who Sold the World (to pay off his Ladbrokes Account)**

**An unlicensed Deutschmark bookmaker**

**The Midnight Diamond Dogs Sweepstakes**

**Prizes!!**

**TOP DJ’s PLAYING**

Bowie, Rock N Roll, disco classics, Northern Soul, a bit of what you fancy, MODERN.

Plus all the usual Working Men’s Club dancey fun.

It kicks off at 8pm on Saturday the 30th of January.

Dres code: Get on your platforms, lycra and face paint or don a flat cap, sheepskin and a dog on a leash – why not combine the two?!

For such inspired frivolities there has to be a cover charge which will go to CHARITY, £5 on the door (if you are on the guest list), else £7 / £8; all money to go to a good cause (Mike H’s election campaign/Haiti DEC appeal/Labour Friends of Iraq).

Panik gives this a massive 8/10 and we ain’t even been yet!!
