The performances are a masterclass in traditional British variety, blending razor-sharp wit with heartwarming musical numbers.

Read moreIn 1852 publican, Charles Morton, fulfilled his dream by dragging entertainment out of the nation's pubs and establishing it in a theatre setting. In the grounds of the Canterbury Arms public house in Lambeth he built the very first Music Hall Theatre in the country. It opened on 17 May 1852 and this magnificent, opulent building seated 750 diners receiving personal, waitress service and it was Morton's proud boas that The Canterbury Hall offered "Only the highest class entertainment and refreshment." Today, 173 years later, live Music Hall & Variety entertainment has virtually died out - except for one shining example - Brick Lane Music Hall in Newham. Up to 200 diners can enjoy a first class three-course lunch (or dinner) followed by a wide choice of musical entertainment throughout the year.. For my recent visit on 6th March I was treated to the Brick Lane Music Hall’s annual panto for grown-ups, "Pinocchio & his Wooden Whopper!" This witty and inventive script, written and superbly directed by Lucy Hayes, was well-served by an excellent cast and guaranteed to keep the House rocking with laughter for well over two hours. The whole afternoon was an absolute tonic and outstanding value for money. A massive thank you to Charles Morton for giving us your dream and a truly heartfelt thank you to proprietor, Vincent Hayes MBE, for continuing to ensure that Morton's...

The show is a great reminder of good old Blighty 'Oh My England' the wonderful humour / innuendo is second to none, timing is spot on.
For all the millennials out there , it's a good insight into what was 'good old English bull dog humour!' which many people still yearn for ! The music hall is keeping the tradition of this alive fantastic ! The ambience of the old church is once more second to none , adding even more to the performances, the food is great ,even catering for gluten free! amongst other dietary requests -
More importantly the charity being supported by the music hall has to be admired & respected --- No writing on bananas for them!! ! No virtue signalling ! Just the real meaning of charity !
The whole package is 5 star , you will leave there with a big smile on your face , a big dollop of tears for the charity, and a promise to return for another fix of...
