Welcome to Show Off!


The next Show Off! will take place

on Friday the 31st of May at Cafe Koha.


Show Off! is a London version of the piano bars of New York.  It is a place where anyone who loves musical theatre can listen to songs from shows new and old - and where anyone who wants to can get up and perform.  Participants can (and often do) include enthusiastic musical theatre lovers, students, retirees, West End professionals and many more.


On the 31st of May, the doors will as usual open at 8:00 p.m.; the music will kick off at 9 p.m. and continue until 1 a.m.  Food and drink will be available throughout the evening.  


If you want to sing, just put your name and the song you want to sing on the sign-up sheet when you arrive.  You may bring your own music, but we also have music from a variety of shows.


For additional upcoming dates, please see the Diary.  For updates regarding dates, hosts and more, watch the News section of this page (below), subscribe to our feed, "Like" us on Facebook and/or follow us on Twitter.  (You can find links to our feed, Facebook page and Twitter feed at the top left of this page.)

Show Off Piano Bar, London
Now in our Fourth Year!
Sunday, 17 March 2013 15:20

Joe Chisholm and Magnus GilljamShow Off! celebrated its third anniversary on Friday the 8th of March.  Show Off! had its premiere on Saturday 6 March 2010 in Cafe Koha, where the anniversary night took place (and indeed where Show Off! takes place most fortnights).  Joe Chisholm hosted the anniversary night, with Magnus Gilljam returning to the piano as guest MD.  Many long-time supporters of Show Off! were present, along with several first-timers, and it was a fantastic night.

Now in its fourth year, Show Off! is continuing on every second Friday night.  The next one will be this Friday, the 22nd of March, with Nic Gibney hosting again and with Show Off! MD Nathan Martin back at the piano.  It should be an exciting night!

There is quite a crowd on some nights, so it is a good idea to reserve tickets ahead of time, either by using the reservations form linked at the top right of each page of the Show off! website or by sending an e-mail message to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  It is also possible (though not necessary) to prepay online for tickets, using the PayPal link just below the Reservations button.

We hope to see you at Show Off! soon!

 
New Hosts!
Monday, 04 February 2013 02:44

Nathan Martin and Joe ChisholmThe New Year has brought with it some new hosts for Show Off!  After a splendid return visit from Natalie Green on the 11th of January, Joe Chisholm made his Show Off! hosting debut on the 25th. 

Joe will be returning to the hosting spot on the 22nd of February.  In the meantime, Nic Gibney will be hosting Show Off! for the first time on the 8th of February.

Both January nights were a lot of fun, with plenty of familiar faces (and voices) joined by some enthusiastic and very welcome newcomers.  We look forward to the February nights hosted by Nic and Joe, which will round out Show Off!'s third year.


 
December at Show Off!
Wednesday, 12 December 2012 01:25

Time is flying by, and 2012 is almost over.  We are delighted, however, to have two more nights of Show Off! to come in December.  MD Nathan Martin, host Natalie Green and producer Sue Knox at Show Off!

This Friday, the 14th of December, Toby Hine and Sarah Lark will be splitting hosting duties, with Toby starting the evening off and Sarah taking over after the interval.  This will be the last night of Show Off! before Christmas, and it should be a great night of festive cheer.

Show Off! will also take place on the 28th of December.  That night should be an excellent opportunity for us all to let our hair down between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

Dates for the first few months of 2013 are now on our Diary page.  We will be continuing on every second Friday, starting two weeks after the 28th of December.  We look forward to great things in 2013.  Believe it or not, our 8 March show will mark the 3rd anniversary of Show Off!

We hope to see you this month and again in 2013!
