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.

Ross Hunter and Tim Prottey-JonesShow Off! is having a great July.  Last night, a sell-out crowd saw Tim Prottey-Jones and his guests Cassie Compton, Ross Hunter, Danielle Rayner and Lauren Samuels (and host Sarah Lark as well) perform songs from Tim's first album and preview songs from his upcoming second album.  We also had brilliant performances from Nathan Martin and Sarah Lark as well as from beloved Show Off! regulars and a number of talented first-timers. 

Our third night of Show Off! this month will take place on Friday the 29th of July.  Matthew Gent will be hosting alongside Nathan Martin.  We hope that you can join us for another fun summer night of music.
