As you may be aware, theatredelicatessen will be evicted from our glorious space at 295 Regent Street in a matter of days.

Therefore we have invited a few friends and some of our favourite performers to create a spectacular night of comedy, music, cabaret and song so that we can give our first home the send off it truly deserves....

theatredelicatessen is proud to announce...

F and M web

Felicity Fitz-Frisky, a fabulous chanteuse, and Hansel Amadeus Mannish, an incredible maestro, are the creators and purveyors of their own peculiar brand of "twisted pop cabaret." You want to know what's actually going on beneath the vacuous pop propaganda of Lily Allen, Chesney Hawkes, Girls Aloud, George Michael, Kate Nash and the Pussycat Dolls, among others?

Come willing to learn, and you will leave with plenty.

Alongside Ms Frisky and Master Mannish will be the original cabaret whore herself, Sarah-Louise Young, enticing the loving crowd into the worlds of Sammy Mavis Jr and La Poule Plombee, whilst The Open Mouths bring their sadistic tops, sauna suicides and sex change regrets and Quattro Formaggio sprinkle on the cheese.....

And if we were actually riding the Tour de France we would be somewhere around Arcalis by now, as it is, we have just got the first week under our belt. And the overwhelming feeling? A sense that audiences might actually be enjoying the show as much as we are performing it. Going into a project like this which has such a specialist area of interest and such a strong focus on the look and style of it, it was a concern, well... at least to me, that audiences would find it difficult to relate to, but so far so good! We've got a long way to go before Paris though!

Announcing our Summer Production PEDAL PUSHER – a story of the Tour de France

It doesn't get easier. You just go faster 7th July - 1st August 2009 Tickets available online soon The Tour De France will come to London's West End this summer thanks to theatredelicatessen's continued residency at Cavendish Gate. Drawing on interviews, archive footage and news reports, Pedal Pusher combines docu-drama and devised performance to tell the true story of the cyclists battling to become champion of the Tour de France. Through the mountains, the crashes, the sprints to the streets of Paris, Pedal Pusher captures the excitement, intrigue and danger of one of the most gruelling sporting events known to man. After all, to put yourself through all this for the sake of a bicycle race you'd have to be crazy... ...Or on drugs. Pedal Pusher follows three cyclists – Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani and Lance Armstrong – through the five years that changed sporting history forever. From Jan Ullrich winning the Tour de France in 1997, through the near-collapse of the Tour de France in 1998, Armstrong's battle with cancer and the allegations of drug abuse that have dogged cycling for so long. By interweaving the biographical stories with recreations of the Tour de France onstage, the play tells the difficult but up-lifting story of their lives through excitement and energy of the race itself.
