More information about The Old Queen’s Head in Islington

The Old Queen’s Head in Islington is returning to the glorious days of variety shows and old fashioned music hall entertainment with Daffadown Dilly, a brand new monthly 'knees up' launching on Thursday 11th February 2010.

With cabaret and burlesque decidedly passé, The Old Queen’s Head’s unique revival of this well-loved British entertainment is set to launch a new kind of nightlife trend in the capital's pubs and clubs.

The Music Hall-style night is hosted by a compère, there to entertain and introduce contortionists, comedians and singers, as well as weird wonderful and wacky acts that before now, have never been seen performing together like this.

Unlike other burlesque shows and cabaret nights in London, the combination of music, circus, dance and comedy at Daffadown Dilly will recreate the mischievous and slightly risqué Britishness of Victorian variety shows with a unique Old Queen’s Head  slant.

Starts Thursday 11th February
Doors open 8pm, Show starts 9pm
£5 before 9pm, £6 after

Loved

"We had an unbelievable time, delicious food with fantastic service; I’m sure they will get better with the desserts…couldn’t go any better." Which venue is this?

Hated

"Long story short: Upper Street branch, crappy, rude service. Waited forever for our drinks. We had to before the next table arrives, but it took them so long to print the damn bill, we wasted another half..." Which venue is this?
