The event will take place on Saturday May 20th.

Show of the Week: Tickets From £30 for WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION

Big Brass Brunch is rolling into Colour Factory at Hackney Wick on Saturday May 20th with all the Prosecco you can drink, a vivacious drag host, mouth watering street food and a full-on live brass soundtrack to make for the most entertaining afternoon in the capital. Tickets including show entry, Prosecco and a table seat are just £25 or £12 without the booze from bigbrassbrunch.com.

There is nothing shy or reserved about Big Brass Brunch; it does exactly what it says on the tin and will fill your belly with bubbles, your heart with laughter and your ears with joy. Your host for all this is award-winning comedy burlesque act and drag artist Lolo Brow who has a wide range of skills from cracking whips to cracking gags, fire performance and will ensure your afternoon passes with an unforgettably outrageous bang.

The full-on live show comes from the popular and high-energy No Limit Street Band, a party-starting seven-piece brass collective that has worked with everyone from Nile Rodgers to Diplo and Dancing on Ice. They bring their own famous brass twist to pop gems, r&b hits and floor-filling classics. Expect brass renditions of Spice Girls, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, George Ezra, Gala, Michael Jackson, A-ha, Whitney Houston and The Weekend amongst other party anthems.

The venue for this is the multi-functional Colour Factory in Hackney Wick, an effortlessly cool, culturally diverse and welcoming space where people are free to express themselves, sip on cocktails and soak up the vibrant atmosphere. For those wanting it, bottomless Prosecco is available for 60 minutes and included in the £25 ticket price, while a wide array of fresh and carefully curated street food brings the brunch element and ensures you are well-fuelled for the fun.

Food is ordered direct from the amazing onsite traders including banging beef burgers, fried chicken and dirty fries with flaming hot Jalapenos, Spanish chorizo, Chipotle mayo and hot BBQ sauce from Burger and Chop, Greek Gyros and Souvlaki from Pittagoras and the UK's only 100% vegan hog roast with all the trimmings from The Hogless Roast.

With all that in-store you'd be mad not to roll in, fill up and get down this May, at the first of many colourful and crazy Big Brass Brunches. Get your tickets now at; bigbrassbrunch.com/tickets




RELATED STORIES - UK / West End

Interview: Brodie Donougher A REAL LIFE BILLY ELLIOT STORY!

What do you get when you have a ballet dancer who dreams of making it professionally and showing the world that guys can dance too?  You have a real-life Billy Elliot story, which is happening to someone who played the titular role of Billy on the West End back home in the UK, and is now here in the US studying and training in professional ballet making his dancing dreams a reality! Not only does he dance, but he has done a few acting roles as well and even participated in a professional opera as a dancer. He is taking the role, and making it his real-life story!   At the end of the musical, we see Billy leaving his home and family to head off for training at the Royal Ballet School, so this is like getting to see the story continue beyond the stage!  Broadway World Detroit got a chance to catch up with Brodie Donougher, the last person to play the role of Billy, and see what he’s up to since his days on the West End stage 7 years ago!

Review: BLACK PANTHER IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall

Conducted by Anthony Parnther (isn’t that the perfect name to lead this specific venture?), this European premiere features Massamba Diop on the talking drum, an instrument essential to the score. Diop, who performed the original tracks for director Ryan Coogler, is a force of nature. After a beautiful introduction by Parnther (who surprisingly does a cracking impression of James Earl Jones as Mufasa!), Diop gave a taster for what was to come: a vibrant tattoo that goes hand in hand with masterful storytelling, filling the Hall effortlessly.

Review: SMITE: AN IMMERSIVE MURDER MYSTERY at CRYPT

Few words grab the attention like murder. And few genres outside immersive theatre can pull you physically into a specific time and place. So why aren’t there more immersive murder productions like this one?

Review: STUART MICHAEL - THE PSYCHIC MEDIUM, Wonderville

All in all, the evening is like a group session with no guarantees of being called out or receiving answers. Believers will believe, sceptics won’t. Without going into Michael’s “gift”, the two hours are, unfortunately, rather dull. He jumps straight in between tongue-in-cheek jokes and an entertainer’s spirit. A tense silence falls onto the audience and he starts pacing around, trying to “pick up” some “energy”. He is respectful, and kind, almost apologetic for his intrusions into people’s personal lives as he glances into nothingness, pulling information out of thin air.
