It's The Twins Macabre! Maurice and Ivy here, your friendly neighbourhood psychotic siblings and comedy cabaret performers! The lovely folks at Broadway World have, for the first time, let two ten-year-olds run riot in their editing room (we definitely duct-taped them to their spinny office chairs). We're very excited to announce the launch of our very own night 'Child's Play Cabaret' at the glorious, opulent and rather secretive Century, Soho.

This Friday 26th February, us ghostly hosts will be joined by International Burlesque star and singing siren Good Ness Gracious, who will be performing two sinfully scintillating routines. We'll have hilarious character comedy from Gabby Best (BBC's Top Coppers), she's a Funny Women Award Winner, don't you know. We're thrilled to announce our stand-up for the night is none other than Mr Mark Dolan from Channel 4's Balls of Steel! And if all that isn't enough there will be fun and games, music and perhaps even a little magic from us Twins too!

We feel very at home on Shaftesbury Avenue having done the rounds of West End roles for stagey tykes, although none of our stints seem to last very long. Ivy's part as understudy Matilda was cut short when one of the adults suffered a wooden swing to the face. Maurice left his role as Gavroche in Les Mis, after an accident involving the revolve and a sharpened bayonet. We managed disguise our age and briefly join the cast of Cats, that was until the Rum Tum Tugger woke up one morning... neutered.

We're very pleased with our 'haunt' though - the wonderful Century. Hidden behind a curious door on Shaftesbury Avenue, there are four floors of decadence - a cocktail lounge with a wickedly tempting menu, two restaurants and Soho's largest roof terrace.

So remember this Friday, the working week is done... it's time to come out to play!
