London's hottest sell-out late-night live gig, Jazz Emu's Pleasure Garden, comes to The Clapham Grand for its biggest, most deluxe show yet. A raucous musical comedy show featuring a live band, where dancing IS advised.

Fresh from the Hammersmith Apollo and sell-out gigs across the globe, Jazz Emu and his incredible live band The Cosmique Perfectión will be performing a series of Jazz Emu's finest songs. Featuring musically-backed sets from some ESPECIAL GUEST comedians (TBA), performing songs, sketches, stand-up and more completely unrehearsed bits. Expect smooth grooves, wild solos, HSA-approved stage-dives, and spectacular set pieces that couldn't possibly go wrong.

Jazz Emu says: "The seeds of Sweet Harmony have been planted; the weeds of Imperfect Pitch have been throttled; my Electronic Clarinet has new batteries. I can't wait to unveil to you a garden throbbing with more life than Eden itself. Come and drink and sing and laugh and dance and make love and sniff the rich bouquet of this perfectly manicured Utopia."

Previous guests include Sam Campbell, Emma Sidi, Mawaan Rizwan, Lara Ricote, Lucy Pearman, Giants, Christopher Bliss, Toussaint Douglass and Phil Dunning.

Double Chortle Award winner and viral superstar Jazz Emu was included on The Telegraph's 2022 "Top Shows To See At The Edinburgh Fringe", and the British Comedy Guide's "Best Reviewed Shows At The Edinburgh Fringe". His videos and songs have garnered over 50 million streams, including plays on BBC Radio 1 and multiple performances on BBC Radio 4's The Now Show. There are Jazz Emu TV & Radio series in development.

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.
