For more than three decades, Guy Chambers has helped shape the sound of British pop. From arena anthems to tender ballads, his songs have travelled the world, soundtracked lives and filled rooms with that unmistakable hit feeling. At Circle & Star, he brings it all into a 50-seat space — close enough to see the detail in every phrase.
\nSongs & Stories: Guy Chambers is exactly what it sounds like: a guided walk through the music, the writing rooms and the moments behind the melodies. Expect live performances at the piano, stories from the sessions, and the kind of candid insight you only hear when the lights are low and the audience is close.
\nGuy Chambers is widely regarded as one of the UK’s most successful songwriter–producers. Best known for his long-running collaboration with Robbie Williams, he co-wrote and produced classics such as Angels, Let Me Entertain You, Millennium, Feel, No Regrets and many more. His work spans pop, rock, swing, theatre and film — always with a focus on strong melody, emotional clarity and songs that last.
\nAt Circle & Star, those songs come home to a room built for listening: no arena staging, no distance, just a writer, a piano and an audience close enough to feel every shift in the room.

Circle & Star is proud to be the first theatre in the UK to present the brand-new centenary edition of David Benson’s legendary one-man show.
\nIn 1996, Think No Evil Of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams arrived at the Edinburgh Fringe and changed everything — winning awards, touring nationally and transferring to the West End. Audiences, critics and even Williams’ closest friends hailed it as the definitive portrait of the much-missed star.
\nNow, to mark Kenneth Williams’ 100th Birthday, David Benson returns with a beautifully re-crafted version of this iconic performance. Part memoir, part séance, part wickedly funny character study, the show explores the strange and powerful thread that bound Benson to Williams from boyhood to adulthood.
\nDame Maggie Smith said of Benson: “You put the heart across me… I thought it was Kenneth!”

\n20th Jan update: DAVID'S SPECIAL GUEST
\n
(Rohan Heath & Lou Rhodes)
Two songwriting worlds. One shared language.
Opening the evening, Kiiōtō bring together two distinct songwriting histories — shaped in very different musical territories.
\nRohan Heath comes from a commercial, chart-driven tradition — writing songs that travelled globally through pop, dance and film, embedding themselves in collective memory.
\nLou Rhodes approaches songwriting from a more jazz-influenced, electronic and cinematic space — emotionally spacious, textural, and exploratory, with roots in ambient and experimental collaboration.
\nAs Kiiōtō, these two approaches meet quietly:
\nsongs shaped by contrast, restraint, and a shared sensitivity to atmosphere and meaning.
\nThis is not a launch.
It is not a showcase.
It’s an intimate first-half set that frames the evening — placing craft, history and intention in the room before the conversation continues.

18th Jan update: DAVID'S SPECIAL GUEST
\nSECOND HALF: Gary Kemp
An English singer-songwriter, musician, and actor, best known as the chief songwriter and lead guitarist for the iconic 1980s band Spandau Ballet, penning hits like \"True,\" \"Gold,\" and \"Through the Barricades,\" while also building a successful acting career, notably starring with his brother Martin Kemp in The Krays and appearing in The Bodyguard. Born October 16, 1959, in Islington, London, Kemp was a key figure in the New Romantic movement and continues to be active in music (including Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets) and actor.

\nAlfie Packham records his debut stand-up special in an intimate live setting.
\nThe show is a sharp, carefully honed best-of selection from his last two critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe runs — material that has earned him national attention for its intelligence, warmth, and precision.
\nThe themes range from the big stuff — love and death — to the everyday and unexpected: shoplifting, football, milk, and the strange logic that connects them all.
\nAs seen on BBC New Comedy Awards 2024.
\n“Effortless… a joy to sit through” — ThreeWeeks\n
“Sharply observed stand-up” — The Scotsman\n
“Thought-provoking and hilarious” — West End Best Friend\n

\nA forward-looking showcase of artists — the voices shaping what comes next.
\nThese sessions are all about the music.
\nSongs performed live, in the room, without distraction — where the voice, the writing, and the moment matter more than commentary.
\nEach evening is curated and hosted by Guy Chambers, opening the room to a mix of artists you already know, alongside emerging talent about to break — original performers, new voices, and artists behind the future soundtracks of our lives.
\nThese nights are not about looking back.
\nThey’re about recognising something before it happens.
\nA sequence of live performances — familiar voices and new ones sharing the same stage. Songs heard close-up, moments that feel intimate now and significant later. This is discovery in real time.
\nA deeper musical focus on selected artists — still led by performance. Any conversation exists only to serve the music: where it’s coming from, what’s taking shape, what’s about to move next.
\nIntimate. Immediate. Unrepeatable.
\nThese are true “I was there” moments — remembered because the music landed first.
\n⸻
\nGuy Chambers is one of the most influential songwriters in British pop, with collaborations including:
\nRobbie Williams · Kylie Minogue · Mark Ronson · Scissor Sisters · Lily Allen · INXS · Tom Jones · James Blunt · Dizzee Rascal · Calvin Harris · Rufus Wainwright…and, in the near future, artists appearing on the Circle & Star stage — voices you’ll recognise, and others you’re about to, before the rest of the world catches up.

January's Stages...
LENNY BEIGE'S STAGES: DAVID BOWIE — WHERE ARE WE NOW?
\nSongs · Guests · Words · Celebration
\nThursday 29 January · 8:00pm
\nCircle & Star Theatre, Hampstead
\nTen years on, we don’t recreate Bowie — we reflect.
\nThis is not a tribute act.
\nIt’s a gathering.
\nAn intimate evening shaped by songs, words, stories, guests and moments — exploring David Bowie’s influence, ideas, and enduring permission to change, question and reinvent.
\nBowie didn’t just change music.
\nHe changed how we think about identity, creativity and becoming.
\nDrawing inspiration from across his work — and particularly the reflective, fearless spirit of Blackstar — this night looks forward as much as it looks back.
\nExpect:
\n\t•\tLive musical moments
\n\t•\tReadings and spoken reflections
\n\t•\tSpecial guests
\n\t•\tThoughtful provocations
\n\t•\tAnd, above all, celebration
\nEvery audience member will receive a unique line of Bowie’s words — a quiet calling card, a keepsake, a question to take home.
\nSo…
\nWhat did we become?
\nWhat did we leave behind?
\nWhat still calls us forward?
\nWhere are we now?

\nSweeping brass. Smoky ballads. The particular tension of a song that knows something you don't. In a 55-seat room, that tension has nowhere to hide — and nowhere to go but straight into the room.
\nLenny Beige returns to STAGES for an evening of glamour, wit and unforgettable music from the world of Bond. Expect elegance. Expect impeccable tailoring. Expect the songs you know redelivered with the intimacy they were always designed for.
\nOne night only. No distance. No anonymity.
\n⸻
\nVOICES with Guy Chambers favourite and absolute Circle & Star room favourite — Betty Lou is joining Lenny Beige for an evening in the world of Bond. The glamour just got louder.
\nDescribed by The Times as \"007's number one fan,\" Mark O'Connell is a writer, author, and pop culture commentator whose books have earned critical acclaim and both national and international media attention.
\nHis debut book, Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond Fan — with forewords by Barbara Broccoli and Mark Gatiss, and an afterword by Maud Adams — is a wonderfully funny and touching memoir about growing up as an eccentric Bond fan in 1980s Britain. His grandfather, Jimmy, was chauffeur to legendary Bond producer Cubby Broccoli for over 30 years, giving young Mark a front-row seat to the world of 007.
\nHis new book, Bond, Queer Bond: The Fabulous Other History of a Spy (The History Press, May 2026), uncovers the queer talents, beats, and personalities that have shaped the James Bond phenomenon across film, fashion, music, and culture. With guest contributions from Barbara Broccoli, David Arnold, Mark Gatiss, Putter Smith, John Glen, Jany Temime, Maud Adams, and more, it's a rich, colourful, and compelling manifesto about the LGBTQ+ creativity behind the openly straight spy.
\nA frequent voice across BBC platforms, Sky News, The Times, The Guardian, and major global outlets, Mark was also a producer on the acclaimed Bond documentary The Other Fellow (2023).
\nOne of the most recognisable faces of British film and television. Her Hammer credits include The Vampire Lovers, Taste the Blood of Dracula, and Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell — opposite Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. On screen alongside Ava Gardner and Roger Moore. A Carry On veteran. A fixture of cult British television — The Two Ronnies, Steptoe and Son, All Creatures Great and Small. And Miss Caruso in Live and Let Die — the first Bond girl of the Roger Moore era, a role Moore personally recommended her for.
\nShe has been many things to many people.
\nOn 25th April, she'll be in this room.
Actress, raconteuse, and Bond Girl, appearing alongside Roger Moore in both Octopussy (1983) and A View to a Kill (1985) — where she played Dominique, the whistling girl in the unforgettable butterfly routine at the Tour Eiffel Restaurant. Best known to British audiences as Louise in the BBC's 'Allo 'Allo!, Carole's screen credits also include Chariots of Fire, Minder, Bergerac, Inspector Morse, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. A brilliant storyteller with wit, warmth, and decades of remarkable tales, she joins Lenny Beige for an evening of Bond, showbiz, and the kind of memories only a true insider can share.
\nMore very special guests to be announced in the coming weeks.

\nA limited edition poster for this event is available at checkout and will be ready to collect on the night. A momento of an evening that won't be repeated.

\nThursday 29 January 2026
\nCircle & Star Theatre, Hampstead
\nC&MP is our new monthly comedy and music night — hosted, lively, and built for a room that likes to be part of the show.
\nExpect a mix of short comedy sets, music threaded through the evening, and a line-up drawn from the London comedy scene. It’s a comedy night with party energy: close, informal, and always a little unpredictable. In a dedicated little theatre space with amazing sound, lighting and atmosphere.
\nYou’re very welcome to bring drinks upstairs from The Horseshoe downstairs.
We’ll even take your empties back. (Your home Recycle bins remain your responsibility.)
DEBRA TAMMER
\nDebra is our MC for the night. She knows how to run a room, keep things moving, and make everyone feel included. You’ll have seen her on TV and across the live comedy circuit — here, she’s the glue that holds the whole evening together.
\nTOM WARD
\nTom is our headline act and star turn for the evening. You may know him from Live at the Apollo, but his comedy really shines up close — stories, observations, and moments that catch you off guard in the best way.
\nDAVE THOMPSON
\nA cult favourite with a long career across TV, radio and live comedy. Dave’s sets often take unexpected turns — playful, surprising, and never quite where you think they’re going.
\nJOSH HOWIE
\nJosh tells stories straight from life — funny, honest and easy to listen to. You might recognise his voice from BBC Radio 4, but live is where he really connects.
\n\nCaroline is a master storyteller. She takes her time, sets the scene — and then, when the line lands… bam. Big laughs, beautifully earned.
\n\nLiz brings playful energy and strong character work to the stage, with comedy that’s bright, clever and full of small surprises.
\nNatasha is on piano throughout the evening, adding musical colour and helping the night flow.

\n\nThis special Circle & Star performance brings the new album to life in the room it was made for: close, conversational, and unfiltered.
\n\nExpect songs from Scarlet Fantastic from Montreal to Rotherham, selected pieces from Maggie's back catalogue, and stories around the writing and recording of the album — a rare opportunity to experience an artist in direct conversation with her audience.
\n\nThis is not a large-scale launch show. It's a listening room. A shared evening.
\n\n⸻
\n\nMaggie will be joined on the night by Martin Watkins (piano) and Phil Polecat — bass (The Polecats). Together, they bring depth, texture, and lived musical history to the performance.
\n\n⸻
\n\nScarlet Fantastic from Montreal to Rotherham is an elegant, personal collection written and produced by Maggie K de Monde with contributions from John Walters (Landscape) and Basil Gabbidon (Steel Pulse), among others. The album reflects on place, memory, and belonging — songs shaped by a life lived between cities, scenes, and stages.

It’s Valentine’s season — and Rachel Mars arrives with a gloriously rude, funny and unexpectedly tender show.
\nBefore sexts, there were letters.
\nAnd many of them were proper filthy.
\nWith the help of the internet, friends, and two sexologists, Rachel has unearthed centuries-old sex and love letters that make modern sexts blush. These intimate missives — written by artists, writers and historical figures — are set alongside contemporary sexts and a deeply personal meditation on the construction of the queer female body.
\nThe result is an erotic archive: sharp, hilarious, moving, and full of heart.
\nThis is a show about desire, intimacy, and how we write ourselves into being.
\nWho are we writing for?
\nAnd what happens to desire when communication becomes faster, shorter, and disposable?
\nBring your lovers.
\nYour ex-lovers.
\nYour perhaps-future lovers.
\nAn intimate, funny, filthy and thoughtful hour of theatre — perfect for Valentine’s week (or anyone who’s ever sent, received, or regretted a sext).
\n★★★★ The Guardian – Shows We Recommend
\nA triumphant show… dripping with uninhibited desire.

\nMars raises a toast to the human libido, elevating the carnal alongside the cerebral.

'A born show-woman, with a beautiful voice and wicked personality – a great tonic for anyone’s night out' ★★★★ – London Pub Theatres
\n‘Laugh-out-loud funny and wonderfully nostalgic…this show is the tonic you never knew you needed' – Irish Central
\n‘Must-see cabaret’ – The List UK
\nEmmy nominated, Sarah McGuinness has transformed her behind-the-scenes life with the stars into a critically acclaimed show, a one-woman musical cabaret, first performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023 then transferring to London for a successful run in 2024. Now this feisty doyenne to the stars, strips back the shrouds of celebrity mystery and takes her audience on a jukebox-journey of her career in showbusiness.
\nDocumentary maker and musician Sarah has turned the lens on herself to present an original poignant and powerful cabaret telling her life story presenting an extraordinary musical journey of her own life, blending the power of live performance, storytelling and song. Through the music of David Bowie, Kate Bush, Kurt Weill, Sondheim and Kander & Ebb’s “Cabaret” as well her own songs, this production takes audiences from Sarah’s childhood on the Irish border in Derry, examining both her
\ncomplicated relationship with her Irish roots and her family’s dysfunction, through to the heights of her international success as her life intertwines with entertainment icons.
\nSarah McGuinness comments, “This is my own life story which only made sense after my mother’s death, when a close relative unlocked buried memories which completely changed my understanding of my early life, while making me uniquely able to unlock the talents of others. It is a collection of stories and songs, well known and original, through which for the first time I am telling the truth about my life that I have been asked to reveal so often before. Edinburgh, London and Australian audiences have revelled in my stories, now I’m hoping to bring them to venue’s around the U.K’

\n\nSome comedians do crowd work.
\nNeil Mullarkey makes the crowd work.
After forty years at the sharp end of live comedy, Neil Mullarkey presents his next chapter — live at Circle & Star.
\n\n⸻
\n\nSometimes, the size of the room is the point. Fifty seats means closeness. Closeness means we can craft it. Stories form in real time. Laughter lands instantly. The room and the stage become one shared moment.
\n\nThis is a Hampstead happening — shaped by who's there, how it feels, and what unfolds between performers and audience.
\n\nNo separation. No safety net. Maximum laughs.
\n\nYou're welcome to join in as much — or as little — as you like. Some people lean forward. Others sit back and enjoy the ride. Either way, you're in good hands.
\n\nWhat happens here happens once — and only here. This is live comedy at its most live.
\n\n⸻
\n\nA co-founder of The Comedy Store Players and a central figure in British improvisation for over forty years, Neil has spent a lifetime turning uncertainty into laughter — live, unscripted, and unrepeatable. You may recognise him from Whose Line Is It Anyway? or the Austin Powers films. His natural habitat is the room itself — where audience and performer share responsibility for what happens next. Neil now teaches improvisation and creative leadership around the world, and his book In the Moment was shortlisted for Business Book of the Year 2024.
\n\nCROWDSAUCE is improv stripped to its essentials. No spectators. No safety net. Just people.

\nThis is comedy up close — warm, social, funny — with live music threaded through the night. A proper night out in Hampstead.
\n⸻
\nOne of the UK's most accomplished stand-ups, Hal has appeared multiple times on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and The Royal Variety Performance, alongside Mock the Week, Would I Lie To You and Bake Off: An Extra Slice. He's written and starred in his own BBC Radio 4 sitcom and completed six nationwide tours. Sharp, warm and utterly in command of a room — this is a proper headliner, in a room built for exactly this.
\nWinner of BBC One's The Traitors (Series 1) and co-host of the hit podcast Ghost Huns — with over 4 million listens and a sold-out tour to its name. Hannah's comedy is quick-witted, heart-on-sleeve and completely compelling. Claudia Winkleman called her \"a comedy goddess.\" Hard to argue.
\nCanadian-born, London-based stand-up, writer and actor. Her debut album hit number one on the iTunes comedy charts; Ed Byrne has said he \"can't for the life of me understand why she's not a household name.\" Edinburgh Fringe reviewers have called her work \"comedy gold\" with \"star quality.\" She's closing in fast.
\nBrighton-based comedian, writer and self-styled \"Mr Showbusiness\" — a vaudevillian alternative act with BBC New Comedy Awards credits, Radio 4 Extra appearances and a Musical Comedy Awards runner-up spot (plus the Audience Favourite prize). Chortle called him \"witty, imaginative and different.\" He likes to dress fancy. He writes for the Beano. There is no one quite like him.
\nLondon-based musical comic, Musical Comedy Awards Finalist 2025 and Chortle Hotshots shortlist. His Edinburgh debut hour received critical acclaim and his comedy sketches have clocked over 2.5 million views online. Part improviser, part songwriter — he arrives with a song for every situation.
\nActor-comedian and your C&MP host for the evening — holding the room with warmth, speed and control from first act to last.
\nQuadruple award-winner and BBC New Comedian of the Year nominee. Armed with a loop station, Dru transforms audience suggestions into improvised songs and spontaneous musical moments in real time. As seen on BBC, ITV and Dave. Five 5-star Edinburgh reviews. Sold out. Every time.

\n\nA performer whose work runs through the DNA of character-led satire, Cornwell is not a guest in the comedy canon — he helped build it. From the cultural landmark of Stella Street, where he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the sharpest comic minds of his generation, to the savage social precision of I'm Alan Partridge, his performances have shaped how British comedy sounds, moves, and observes.
\n\nWhat Is It? is an evening that draws on decades of work — characters refined in the wild, voices sharpened by experience, and observations that come from someone who has watched the country change from the inside. This is not a greatest-hits parade, and it's not nostalgia. It's a master practitioner doing what he does best: stepping sideways into the moment and exposing it with quiet confidence.
\n\nIn a room this intimate, the craft is unmistakable. The timing. The control. The sense of when to lean in — and when to let the silence do the work.
\n\nThis is comedy with lineage. Comedy with memory. Comedy that knows exactly what it's doing.
\n\nWith support from Freddy Cornwell.

\nOver the course of a single school day, Lena ricochets between hymn practice and house parties, sports day glory and after-school detentions, free food from nuns and pills swallowed in secret. She’s sharp, reckless and desperate to be seen as more than a “problem.” As belief in God slips away, belief in herself also fractures, replaced by drugs, humour, anger, and the dangerous comfort of being wanted.
\nTold with biting wit, brutal honesty and moments of unexpected tenderness, Perhaps interrogates who gets listened to, who gets protected, and what happens when care becomes conditional. Unapologetic and unsettling, Perhaps asks a simple question with no easy answer: when everything hurts, what are you supposed to believe in?
\nThemes: Faith, adolescence, addiction, sexual trauma, consent, identity, and the thin line between survival and self-destruction.
\nAge Guidance: 15+, Parental Discretion

\nAnn has one hour to write her mother's eulogy.
\nOne hour to compress a lifetime.
\nOne hour to choose what stays.
\nOne hour to decide what version of the truth the room can hold.
What unfolds is something theatre rarely gives you: grief in real time. Raw, contradictory, unexpectedly funny — and completely human.
\nAs Ann attempts to compose something dignified, memories refuse to behave. Tenderness collides with frustration. Love sits beside resentment. Laughter interrupts tears. In her search for order, she even consults an AI assistant — and discovers that grief resists neat formatting.
\nWhat emerges is not a polished tribute, but something far more honest: a reckoning with complexity, with contradiction, and the impossible task of letting go.
\nIntimate, unsentimental, and unexpectedly funny — Fickle Eulogy asks:
\nWho are we allowed to be in grief? And who are we brave enough to remember?

April is next — and this is the lineup.
\nFour distinct voices. One intimate room. Fifty-five seats.
\n⸻
\nClassically trained vocalist Dora performs with her guitarist, bringing heartfelt melodies and visceral storytelling to the stage. Drawing on influences from Björk to Hatsune Miku, her music balances beauty with chaos — pretty melodies wrapped around unflinching emotional honesty. Currently working on new material, Dora will be showcasing unreleased tracks alongside selections from her debut EP Detrimentors, released last year to acclaim from NME, The Line of Best Fit, and DIY. Backed by Marathon Artists, Dora creates music that refuses to look away.
\nThis Greater Manchester indie-pop quartet has climbed from pub circuit grit to two UK #1 albums — Anxiety Replacement Therapy (2023) and KOKO (2025). Fronted by Thom Rylance and completed by Robert Lally, Katie Lloyd, and Joe Singleton, they've shared stages with Robbie Williams, Tom Jones, and Noel Gallagher, earning a reputation for turning strangers into believers within three songs. Their working-class warmth, ADHD-fueled honesty, and collaborations with Boy George, Shaun Ryder, and Frank Turner have made them one of the UK's most beloved live acts — and they played six sets at Glastonbury 2023, more than any other original artist that year.
\nEmerging R&B vocalist Saint Christxn brings soulful storytelling and cinematic vocal presence to intimate stages. With a sound rooted in contemporary soul and a performance style that prioritises connection over spectacle, Saint Christxn is carving a space in London's evolving R&B scene — one where craft, emotion, and restraint matter more than hype.
\nAustrian rock powerhouse Kati Cher has built a global following through sheer vocal force and versatility. A vocal demonstrator for Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy since 2017, she's shared stages with members of Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Journey, Alice Cooper, and Santana, earning millions of online views for her electrifying cover performances. Her recent single \"Alive\" showcases the range and rasp that made her an internet sensation — a voice that can hold a room or fill an arena, delivered with the kind of presence that makes people stop mid-scroll and listen.
\n⸻
\nThese sessions are all about the music. Songs performed live, in the room, without distraction — where the voice, the writing, and the moment matter more than commentary.
\nEach evening is curated and hosted by Guy Chambers, opening the room to a mix of artists you already know alongside emerging talent about to break. Original performers, new voices, and the artists behind the future soundtracks of our lives.
\nThese nights are not about looking back. They're about recognising something before it happens.

\n\nThe last VOICES before the summer. Another evening of new voices and proven ones, in the room where proximity is the point. Then VOICES returns in September.
\n\nThese sessions are all about the music. Songs performed live, in the room, without distraction — where the voice, the writing, and the moment matter more than commentary.
\n\nEach evening is curated and hosted by Guy Chambers, opening the room to a mix of artists you already know alongside emerging talent about to break.
\n\nDAN SULTAN — one of Australia's most loved singer-songwriters. Seven ARIA Awards, Top-5 charting albums, an ARIA-certified gold record. He has headlined the Sydney Opera House Forecourt to thousands, toured his orchestral reimagining of Blackbird with the MSO, DSO and ASO, and supported Bruce Springsteen, Midnight Oil and Vance Joy. Now he turns a new page — a brand-new album, written with Guy Chambers.
\n\nLILLA SHY — born in Rome, reborn in London. Self-produced debut album Layers (2024), relentless touring across the UK and Europe, a support for Matteo Bocelli at the London Palladium and a Glastonbury 2025 slot. New material on the boards with Ed Harcourt. The quietest type, the loudest truth.
\n\nMICHAEL ALDAG — twenty-four, from Liverpool. Emotionally charged synth-pop — infectious, brutally honest, sharp. Four sold-out UK headline tours, supports for Bastille and Dean Lewis, Reading & Leeds and BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. 1.3M followers, 20M streams.
\n\nMIKE WILLIS — singer-songwriter, venue owner and idea guy of the Hastings music scene. Nashville-born, UK-based since 2015. He runs Ramshackle in St Leonards and the 500-seat Henry Ward Hall listening room, and knows exactly what a room like this is for. His album Sunday Flying is being pressed now.
\n\nThese nights are not about looking back. They're about recognising something before it happens.
\n\n\"An unbelievable evening, which can only happen here. You have to be here.\"
\n— Audience, Circle & Star
One of the most influential songwriters in British pop. Robbie Williams · Kylie Minogue · Mark Ronson · Scissor Sisters · Lily Allen · INXS · Tom Jones · James Blunt · Rufus Wainwright.

\nFagin.
\nA brand new immersive character study — premiering at Circle & Star. See it first.
\nFifteen five-star reviews. The most acclaimed production of Oliver! in recent memory. Now, something entirely new.
\nThe Evening
\nPart detective story, part love letter, part provocation. Steve inhabits a gallery of characters across two halves — Fagin himself, of course, but also the real man who inspired him, the artists who shaped him, and the people who challenged everything we thought we knew.
\nThe first half traces Fagin from page to stage: the 257 times Dickens wrote \"the Jew\" instead of his name. The real-life Ikey Solomons — fence, fugitive, escapee — whose extraordinary story Dickens borrowed and never credited. The woman who bought Dickens' own house and confronted him about what he'd done.
\nThe second half belongs to the musical — Lionel Bart's East End genius, the transformation of villain into something audiences couldn't help but love, and why Oliver! changed the question entirely.
\nSongs. Sketches. Cruikshank's illustrations brought to life. A question that never quite resolves — and one performer holding all of it in a room of fifty-five.
\n\"Steve Furst is superb in the deeply problematic role of Fagin.\"
The Telegraph
\"Steve Furst is equally outstanding as anguished villain Fagin.\"
Daily Express
\"Steve Furst was incredible as Fagin.\"
Theatre and Tonic
\"Probably the best Fagin I've seen.\"

A personal map of discovery — how one artist comes to another’s work late, slowly, and then all at once.
\nGrowing up in the UK, David McAlmont’s earliest exposure to David Bowie was oddly narrow and slightly absurd — The Laughing Gnome lodged in childhood memory. After moving to Guyana, Bowie remained a distant figure, represented almost exclusively by the global sheen of Let’s Dance. It wasn’t until McAlmont’s return to the UK that everything shifted.
\nHearing Diamond Dogs for the first time proved revelatory — not just musically, but existentially. Bowie emerged not as a pop phenomenon, but as a vocalist of fierce conviction and a sage of alienation, fear, hunger, possibility and sexuality.
\nThrough song and spoken reflection, McAlmont traces Bowie’s work as a living, evolving conversation — from dystopian narratives and fractured identities to moments of tenderness, defiance and grace. Each song marks a stage in McAlmont’s growing investment as a listener and fellow artist navigating voice, reinvention and survival.
\nForegrounding interpretation over impersonation, this is about what happens when great songs meet lived experience — a story of delayed recognition, deep listening, and how Bowie’s music continues to reveal itself.
\nThis is the first of three residency evenings with David McAlmont at Circle & Star Theatre.
\n📅 McAlmont & Bowie — Saturday 16 May 2026
📅 McAlmont & McAlmont — Saturday 13 June 2026
📅 McAlmont & Madonna — Saturday 18 July 2026
Each evening is a distinct show — a different lens, a different body of work, the same extraordinary voice.

\nThis is a rare opportunity to experience David McAlmont up close. The show traces his musical story from the early days of Thieves, through the era-defining collaboration with Bernard Butler, landmark partnerships with David Arnold, Michael Nyman and HiFi Sean, and acclaimed solo work that has moved restlessly between soul, pop, jazz, spoken word and gallery installation.
\nWith trademark voice and candour, McAlmont reflects on the songs, people and moments that shaped him, weaving stories between performances drawn from every chapter of his career. A carefully curated set that plays like a live greatest hits — reimagined in a stripped-back, personal setting that places musicianship and storytelling centre stage.
\nOne voice. One artist. A body of work that has continually crossed genres while remaining unmistakably his own.
\nThis is the second of three residency evenings with David McAlmont at Circle & Star Theatre.

📅 McAlmont & McAlmont — Saturday 13 June 2026

\nMcAlmont & Madonna challenges the tired narrative that Madonna is merely an entrepreneur rather than a great musician. Drawing on a career spent navigating soul, pop, jazz, art and academia, McAlmont reclaims her catalogue as a body of bold, emotionally complex, intelligent songwriting. Stripped of spectacle and recentred around voice, melody and lyric, these songs reveal craft, vulnerability and cultural ambition that the noise has always obscured.
\nWith personal reflection and sharp cultural commentary, McAlmont explores why Madonna’s work matters — her command of melody, her instinct for collaboration, her lyrical directness, and her fearless reinvention. A celebration of a great artist hiding in plain sight.
\nIn an intimate setting, McAlmont invites audiences to listen again, and listen deeper.

\nFor one week only, Circle & Star opens its doors for something that doesn't happen anywhere else.
\nSkye Bishop brings her debut album Feelings into this room — not as a launch event, but as a residency. Six evenings. Eleven tracks. The full record performed live, stripped bare, in a room of 55 seats in Hampstead.
\nThis is not a conventional album launch. No distance. No safety net. Just the music, the stories behind the songs, and the particular atmosphere that only exists when an artist and an audience share a room this close.
\nFeelings is a record about exactly what the title promises — fear, freedom, love, pain, loneliness, the thrill of being alive. These are songs that were written to be felt. In a room this size, they have nowhere to hide and everywhere to land.
\n★ Six consecutive evenings — Saturday 2nd to Thursday 7th May 2026
\n★ Debut album Feelings performed live in full
\n★ 55 seats. No separation. No repeats.
\n★ A Circle & Star Presents residency — the first of its kind

\nOn 11 May, Circle & Star Theatre presents an evening dedicated to the work of lyricist Estee Stimler and composer Yuval Havkin — one of the most distinctive comic partnerships in British-Jewish musical theatre. Songs full of wit, timing, and the kind of precision that only comes from writers who know how funny a well-placed syllable can be.
\nPerformed live by West End actors Danny Becker (Operation Mincemeat) and Kaisa Hammarlund (Hijack), with special guest Mikki Stern (Oliver!) — three performers who understand that selling a comedy lyric well is a serious craft.
\nPresented in association with Tsitsit: The Jewish Fringe.
\n\"Singing Estee's lyrics is one of the easiest things to do. They're witty, intelligent and roll off the tongue with ease.\"
\n— Michael Vinsen, West End Actor
\"Her work is hilarious. 'The Builder Used My Loo' is the most brilliantly bonkers song I've ever performed. Estee is pure dynamite and a wonderful talent.\"
\n— Natalie Moore Williams, West End Actor
★ Live comedy songwriting, performed by West End principals
\n★ Songs from Shiva at Wit's End, Change of Heart, The Attic and more
\n★ Fifty-five seats. One night. Nowhere else this happens quite like this.
About the Writers
\nEstee Stimler is a comedic lyricist and one of British-Jewish musical theatre's most original voices. Credits include Smother, The Last Will and Testament of Sheila Goodwin, Shiva at Wit's End, Change of Heart, and The Attic. Her writing is sharp, warm, and formally precise — the kind of lyric that sounds effortless until you try to write one like it.
\nYuval Havkin is a composer whose credits include Change of Heart · The Attic · Strings Attached.

\nRadio Plays Live — actors in role, scripts in hand, full cast on stage. Live. One night only. 🎬
\nA young producer reads a slim novel and cannot put it down. He options it with his own money. He hires a theatre director who has never made a film. Together, they cast an unknown actor everyone agrees is wrong for the part — too short, too dark, too quiet.
\nNobody in Hollywood thinks it will work. 🌴
\nWhat they make is The Graduate.
\nTracy-Ann Oberman's Radio Plays Live brings the room to life: Mike Nichols on his first film, Dustin Hoffman auditioning for a role written for someone else, Anne Bancroft becoming Mrs Robinson 🐆, Gene Hackman nearly taking the part that might have changed everything, Mel Brooks watching his wife seduce a younger man on screen, and Ava Gardner circling the project in a way only Ava Gardner could.
\nThis is the story behind the film — the arguments, the instinct, the nerve, and the quiet moments that nearly stopped it happening at all.
\n⭐ Led by Tracy-Ann Oberman, with a special guest cast to be announced very soon.
\nThis is a 55-seat room. Once the cast is revealed, these tickets will go fast — don't wait. 🎟️

The warm night that won't end. The window left open. The feeling you want to hold on to a little longer.
\nThese are those songs — and this is the night for them.
\nLove. Celebration. Longing. The whole season, sung. Lenny Beige gathers them up and brings them home on the 4th of July — expect fireworks, metaphorically speaking, and an evening built to make the feeling of summer last well past the final encore.
\nA summer salon, designed and built for one evening only. The standards you have known all your life. The classics you had half-forgotten you loved. And the kind of song that arrives once, unannounced, and follows you home still humming on the walk back.
\nLenny Beige hosts, a quintet swinging behind him. And the first voice confirmed: Liane Carroll — one of the most celebrated singers in British jazz. The phrasing other singers study. The warmth that wins a room before the first chorus is finished.
\nThis is STAGES at Circle & Star. One hot summer's night. Independence Day, fifty-five seats, and every song close enough to feel it breathe.
\nThe first Lenny Beige since April. And the last until the Autumn.
\nSo join us.
\n✨ Further guests to be announced.
\n★ A hot summer's night of songs — love, celebration and longing — hosted by Lenny Beige, a quintet swinging behind him.
\n★ Liane Carroll — first guest confirmed. BBC Jazz Award winner. Ronnie Scott's regular.
\n★ The standards you know. The classics you had half-forgotten. And a few surprises.
\n★ One night. Fifty-five seats. The first Lenny Beige since April — the last until Autumn.
\nOne of the great British jazz vocalists of her generation. BBC Jazz Award winner. Parliamentary Jazz Award winner. A long-standing fixture at Ronnie Scott's, with recordings on Linn Records and Splash Point Records, and a working life that has put her on stages with Ray Brown, Gerard Presencer and Mark Murphy. Her phrasing is the kind other singers study. Her warmth earns the room before she has finished a verse.
\nLenny Beige (the alter ego of Steve Furst) has spent a quarter of a century making cabaret intelligence look easy. Television credits include Little Britain and a long roster of British comedy. STAGES is his salon at Circle & Star — an evening series that takes a world, opens it up, and brings it home to fifty-five seats in Hampstead.

\nGary Wilmott is not just a national treasure. He is the showman's showman, a gentleman of the British stage, and one of the UK's most enduring stars.
\nHis stories crossover and swirl around the stage and screen. Spanning decades.
\nFrom winning New Faces in 1978 to two years as Bill Snibson in Me and My Girl at the Adelphi, Gary has spent more than four decades at the heart of British stage and screen. Wicked. Chicago. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The Wizard of Oz. A Man for All Seasons. Year after year of London Palladium pantomimes. Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders, Would I Lie to You?
\nJack Tinker once called him \"Musical Talent of the Highest Order.\" Audiences who've followed him for forty years would put it more simply: nobody works a room like Gary Wilmott.
\nFor one night only, Gary joins Steve Furst at Circle & Star — a 55-seat room, an evening of conversation, and the kind of warmth that doesn't survive a bigger stage.
\nThis is not a concert. Not a panel. Not a podcast. It's a salon — unscripted, unfiltered, unrepeatable.
\nGary is doing this evening as a friend of Circle & Star. Every penny from ticket sales goes directly to the venue — supporting our work to build a future for new shows, new artists, and emerging talent.

\nCircle & Star Presents — in association with Hampstead Jazz Club.
\nOliver Darley sings Bowie.
\nA conversation, then a concert. The man who stood beside him, followed by the songs re-imagined.
\nFollowing a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Darley and pianist Chad Lelong have released their critically acclaimed debut album — The Seat With The Clearest View - Bowie's songs as you've never heard them.
\nThe Evening
\nThe evening opens with Jonathan Wingate — Bowie's former Spokesman and Executive Producer of the album — in conversation. Twenty-five minutes inside the room where the work happened, with the man who stood next to it.
\nThen the music. A short break, and Oliver Darley and Chad Lelong take the stage for a single set — sixty minutes of Bowie, radically re-arranged and stripped to their bones. Life On Mars? through to Where Are We Now?. Every era. Voice and piano. Nothing else needed.
\nDarley's burnished baritone — “a voice that could sing the angels to sleep” — shining new light through old windows.
\n25 minutes of conversation. A short break. 60 minutes of music.
\n“Always go a little further into the water than you feel you're capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. When you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
— David Bowie
“A voice that could sing the angels to sleep and wake the devil from his bed.” — Ray Charles
\n“One of the UK's greatest voices.” — BB King
\n“A voice that curls your toes, vibrates in your spine and causes your mouth to drop open.” — Evening Standard

Thursday 16 July 2026 · Circle & Star Theatre, Hampstead
Everyone thinks they already know the story. The Gist is built on the suspicion that we all want the real one.
\nOnline, The Gist gets beneath the brands, businesses and culture shaping the way we live — counterintuitive, fast, and watched two million times a month. On 16 July, its co-founder Huw Allen brings it somewhere it has never been: off the screen, into a room of 55, with the time and the company to actually have the conversation out loud.
\nTwo halves. Two subjects. Two guests who have spent their careers on the inside of both — and a room close enough that the conversation doesn't stay on the stage.
\nThis is not a panel. It's the long version of something you already know in ninety-second pieces.
\nSacha Skarbek has written songs you've owned for twenty years without knowing his name. Three things on the table:
\n★ AI didn't kill the songwriter — the royalty split might
★ A song everyone knows is worth less than it has ever been
★ The fury over ticket prices — is the public angry at the wrong people?
Mark Wogan talks about British food not as a critic looking in, but as someone with a stake in it. Three things on the table:
\n★ The biggest disruptor in British food isn't a chef — it's a drug
★ \"Ultra-processed\" — the words everyone uses and no one can define
★ A food culture never better at the top, never harder to afford in the middle
Huw Allen is a co-founder of The Gist, the media brand that goes beneath the stories everyone thinks they already understand — and gets there before you've finished your coffee. With more than 60,000 followers and two million monthly views across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube, The Gist has built its reputation on the counterintuitive take on the brands, businesses and culture shaping the way we live. This is the first time it has been done live.
\nSacha Skarbek is one of the songwriters whose work you already know by heart. Classically trained, he co-wrote six songs on James Blunt's Back to Bedlam — including \"You're Beautiful,\" \"Goodbye My Lover\" and \"Wisemen\" — before writing \"Cold Shoulder\" for Adele's 19 and the US number-one \"Wrecking Ball\" for Miley Cyrus. His credits run through Lana Del Rey, Duffy, James Bay, Jason Mraz and Tears for Fears. Two Ivor Novello Awards. A Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. He has spent a career on the inside of the songs that defined a decade — and knows exactly how, and at what cost, they were really made.
\nMark Wogan is a broadcaster, podcaster and food obsessive who has built a second career around the table. He hosts Spooning with Mark Wogan, recorded at the Groucho Club and Mount Street, and presents on Virgin Radio — broadcasting, you might say, in the blood. Away from the microphone he runs a London food business, which means he talks about what's happening to the way Britain eats with something at stake in the answer. Sharp, funny and genuinely curious — exactly the kind of guest this room is built for.
\nRunning time: approx. 90 minutes, including an interval, plus time afterwards to stay, talk and connect.

\nFagin.
\nA brand new immersive character study — premiering at Circle & Star. See it first.
\nFifteen five-star reviews. The most acclaimed production of Oliver! in recent memory. Now, something entirely new.
\nThe Evening
\nPart detective story, part love letter, part provocation. Steve inhabits a gallery of characters across two halves — Fagin himself, of course, but also the real man who inspired him, the artists who shaped him, and the people who challenged everything we thought we knew.
\nThe first half traces Fagin from page to stage: the 257 times Dickens wrote \"the Jew\" instead of his name. The real-life Ikey Solomons — fence, fugitive, escapee — whose extraordinary story Dickens borrowed and never credited. The woman who bought Dickens' own house and confronted him about what he'd done.
\nThe second half belongs to the musical — Lionel Bart's East End genius, the transformation of villain into something audiences couldn't help but love, and why Oliver! changed the question entirely.
\nSongs. Sketches. Cruikshank's illustrations brought to life. A question that never quite resolves — and one performer holding all of it in a room of fifty-five.
\n\"Steve Furst is superb in the deeply problematic role of Fagin.\"
The Telegraph
\"Steve Furst is equally outstanding as anguished villain Fagin.\"
Daily Express
\"Steve Furst was incredible as Fagin.\"
Theatre and Tonic
\"Probably the best Fagin I've seen.\"
Theatre Board
55 seats. Every one close. Every one part of the story.

Hosted by Jonathan Wingate · with Chad Lelong at the piano
The story first. Then the record, in full. One album an evening — opened up, talked through, then played end to end. Lights low. Phones away. Fifty-five seats, listening together. This is not a gig. It's a salon, where the album is the star of the evening.
\nSide A · Discussion — a guided deep dive into Kid A: the disappearance, the machines, the thaw.
Interval — a short break, a light refreshment.
Side B · Listen — Radiohead's Kid A, in full, in the dark, in company.
2000. The band walks off the map and into the ice. Guitars dissolve; something colder and stranger takes their place. The sound of a century turning over.
\nLive in the room — Chad Lelong at the piano
Chad Lelong joins us for this one: a virtuoso jazz pianist, and one half of The Seat With The Clearest View, the Bowie record he made with Oliver Darley — and the night that sold this room out in June. He takes one track from Kid A to the piano and opens it up in front of you: explored, interrupted, pulled apart and played back. Fitting, too — the band who made Kid A were listening to Bitches Brew, to Mingus and to Alice Coltrane rather than to rock records, and that is where the horns on The National Anthem come from. He has already chosen his track. He is not telling us which one.

1994. A voice like a cathedral with the doors thrown open. Ten songs — borrowed, broken open, made to ascend. The most haunted debut of its decade.

\nCircle & Star is honoured to host Marigold Productions for one summer evening — a jazz-infused fundraiser in aid of 2.36, their September production.
\nStandards, played properly. Moanin'. Spain. A full band finding the groove and staying there — two saxophones, trumpet, piano, drums and double bass — with cabaret turns threaded between the sets: a duologue, a sketch, a little poetry, a little stand-up.
\nPlus live musical theatre songs by lyricist Estee Stimler and composer Yuval Havkin, performed by Luka Bayer and Michaela Stern.
\nHosted by Anoushka Cowan and Elijah Lifton. Marigold Productions counts the playwrights Richard Bean and Anna Ziegler among its patrons.
\n✨ Three special guests...
\n5:30pm show
\nNicole Ansari-Cox — award-winning actor, writer, producer and activist. Most recently on the West End in The Score at the Theatre Royal Haymarket; on screen, Sally-Anne in Succession and a lead in Dirty Business, with an executive-producer credit on Glenrothan, Brian Cox's directorial debut.
\nChristopher Biggins — actor, presenter and genuine national treasure. Known to a generation for Porridge, Poldark and I, Claudius, and ever since as one of Britain's most-loved pantomime dames.
\nRichard Bean — patron of Marigold Productions and one of Britain's most-produced playwrights, best known for One Man, Two Guvnors, the comedy that took the West End and Broadway by storm. Recent work includes Jack Absolute Flies Again, To Have and To Hold and Reykjavik.
\nOn the night
\nElijah Lifton — alto sax
Wesley Frankel — saxophone
Sammy Fielden — trumpet
Raphael Freedman — piano
Ashley Summerfield — double bass
Aidan Pick — drums
Highlights
\n★ A full jazz ensemble, playing the standards the way they were meant to be heard
★ Live musical theatre songs by Estee Stimler & Yuval Havkin, sung by Luka Bayer and Michaela Stern
★ Three special guests — Nicole Ansari-Cox & Christopher Biggins, Richard Bean
★ Cabaret between the sets — duologues, sketches, poetry, stand-up
★ A genuine fundraiser — every ticket helps put 2.36 on its feet
The play you're helping make: 2.36
\nWhat's better than sibling drama written by two only children?
\n2.36 is a two-hander following Keira and Josh Carrington in Luxembourg over one long night. The world they know changes overnight as secrets within the Carrington family arise, and the siblings' agendas go beyond reconnecting. As the night spirals out of control, so do the facades that Josh and Keira display.
\nA razor-sharp comedy about inheritance, identity and the lies families inherit. At Circle & Star, 8–10 September 2026.
\nThis is not a concert hall, and it isn't a club. It's a room where the music has nowhere to hide and everywhere to land — close enough to feel the brass breathe.
\n🗓 Sunday 5 July 2026 · Two shows
Doors 5:00pm · Show 5:30pm
📍 28 Heath Street, Hampstead NW3
🎟 55 seats per show
This is a fundraising event, with proceeds supporting Marigold Productions' 2.36.

\nWe said the names would come closer to the night. Here they are.
\nJessica Sweetman
\nFifteen years old, singing in cigar bars — that is where the voice was made. A BMG deal took her to the States. She has opened for Van Morrison, Hozier, Alfie Boe and Keane, and toured with Paul Oakenfold. Her new single, ‘Dear Anxiety’, is out for World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
Christy O'Donnell
\nA Scot, back after a few years away, and back signed to Elton John's Rocket. There is a new album coming, and a film, 88Keys, in which he takes the lead.
One World Orchestra
\nMusicians from across the world, playing as one. Global traditions against contemporary songwriting, much of it made in the moment. In a room of fifty-five, there is not much distance left to close.
And one more. Guy asks a special guest to every night, and that name is not on the bill. It will not be. You will meet them in the room.
\n⸻
\nA live salon for people who care about how songs make you feel.
\nAfter a sold-out first season, VOICES returns: the same intimate ritual, a new mix of remarkable performers, and Guy's instinct for bringing together voices that create something unexpected.
\nThe collective intake of breath. The silence before the first note. With only 55 seats, you're closer to the artists — and inside the night — in a way you won't experience anywhere else.
\nThree acts. Five songs each.
\nOne you'll know.
\nOne you won't.
\nAnd one you never saw coming.

\nRobbie Williams · Kylie Minogue · Mark Ronson · Scissor Sisters · Lily Allen · INXS · Tom Jones · James Blunt · Rufus Wainwright.

Narrated, sung and spoken, each night turns the fifty-five-seat room to the dark — not for shock, but for clarity. This is one of the five.
\nLove, guilt and the afterlife collide in a darkly funny psychological horror.
\nMarried couple Lucas and Felicity spiral through infidelity, resentment and longing — only to find that some mistakes don't end when life does. A booze-soaked satire of modern love curdles into a surreal nightmare of bureaucratic receptionists and unsettling strangers, where hell is not fire and brimstone but being trapped forever with the consequences of who we really are.
\nWhat if being “good” was the hardest thing of all?
\nA new play by Julia Pagett, directed by Andrew Hollingworth. Two nights in a fifty-five-seat room — where there is nowhere for the characters to hide, and nowhere for you to look away.
\n★ A new psychological horror — darkly comic, genuinely unsettling
★ Written by Julia Pagett · directed by Andrew Hollingworth
★ Two nights only, 17–18 October
★ Fifty-five seats. No distance. The dark is the point.

\nReel Notes Nº.001 · The Watching Salon · One night only
\nAnthony Newley in The Small World of Sammy Lee
\nOne of Britain's great overlooked films — Soho, 1963, five hours and three hundred pounds. Seen whole, for one December night, in a room of fifty-five.
\nThe critics of 1963 walked straight past it.
Sixty-three years on, it looks like one of the finest British films of its decade — and far too few people have seen it on a screen.
Wolfgang Suschitzky shot it, eight years before he shot Get Carter. Ken Hughes took it out onto the real streets — the clubs, the caffs, the doorways of a London still patching itself up after the war. It began as Sammy, a half-hour BBC play in 1958 with Newley alone on screen; the film opens the door and lets him run. And the year it came out, the song he co-wrote, What Kind of Fool Am I?, won the Grammy for Song of the Year. He spent that year playing a man with nothing left — and gave the performance he should be remembered for.
\nSammy Lee has five hours to find three hundred pounds, or the men he owes will take it out of his hide. A Soho strip-club compère runs the length of his own small world — bookies, brothers, last favours — in Anthony Newley's blistering race against the clock. The London nobody sent home on a postcard — all neon, nerve and borrowed time.
\nPart One · The story
\nJason Solomons — film critic, broadcaster and author, former chair of the London Film Critics' Circle — explores the film with
Tara Newley — daughter of Anthony Newley and Joan Collins, born in October 1963, the year of the film — and
Mel Hughes — daughter of the director, Ken Hughes.
Then Steve Furst — actor, comedian and Circle & Star's artistic director — sings Newley. Feeling Good, Pure Imagination, Goldfinger, The Candy Man: you know the songs. Not everyone knows they're his.
\nPart Two · The picture, whole
\nThe Small World of Sammy Lee, in full — 107 minutes, lights low, phones away, watched in company.

Mitch Benn keeps that tradition alive.
\nHis acclaimed one-man production tours the UK each December, and this year it comes to Hampstead for the heart of our Christmas. Dickens’ own abridged text. Twenty-seven characters. One performer, one top hat, one overcoat — and a single coat stand for company. From Scrooge’s bark to Tiny Tim’s whisper, every soul in the tale — conjured in a room that was here when Dickens himself was alive and writing. You can almost feel the history in the walls: a theatre of fifty-five, and nothing between you and the story.
\nThis is not a reading. It’s a haunting, a redemption, and a Christmas morning — told the way it was meant to be told: live, close, and complete.
\nA family show. 70 minutes, plus an interval.
\n★ Dickens’ original abridged text — the version he performed himself
★ 27 characters, one performer, a lone coat stand for a prop
★ 70 minutes plus an interval — a whole Christmas evening
★ A family show — bring everyone
Each performance is in support of a local homeless charity this Christmas.
A portion of the box office from every ticket is donated.
“He is perfectly believable and entrancing — in character, voice and physicality — as all of the characters in the tale… Benn reminds us of the joy of being told a story.”
★★★★★ Louisa Clarke, West End Best Friend
“Brilliant character distinction and energetic facial expressions envelop the audience in Scrooge’s world… a feat of storytelling that is a delight to experience.”
★★★★ Bianca, Dec 2024
“Benn single-handedly takes on the enigmatic story that continues to charm audiences today.”

Families never add up cleanly.
\nJosh Carrington is in love with his Luxembourgish roots. His sister Keira keeps having to remind him that their father was only born in Luxembourg so their grandfather could keep a property empire out of the taxman's reach.
\nMarigold Productions present the return of 2.36 — a razor-sharp drama about inheritance, identity, and the lies families inherit. Across one long night on an ancestral trip to Luxembourg, a brother and sister find the trip was never really about reconnecting. As old secrets surface, their separate agendas — and the polished faces they show each other — begin to come apart.
\nAmbition, hypocrisy, and the family gift for believing your own story. This is not a cosy reunion — and in a room this close, there's nowhere for the Carringtons to hide.
\n\"Electrifying.\" \"Riveting.\"

Jay Rayner and the fabulous team at Fane are starting their national tour early — and the first stop is Circle & Star, Hampstead.
Jay Rayner brings a work-in-progress one-off to Circle & Star ahead of his national tour.
Marking the publication of his fabulous new cookbook, the restaurant critic, broadcaster and occasional pastry-wrangler brings twenty-five years of appetite to a room of 55 — a couple of hours of intense foodie insight, fabulous dinner ideas, and the occasional dodgy one too.
On the menu — five things up for discussion
★ The secret to a truly great dinner party
★ Whether a critic with a taste for the savage review is, in fact, a bit of a scumbag
★ The single best thing you can have on toast
★ Whether you can — or should — braise spaghetti
★ What a food writer does when ‘crispy’, ‘moist’ and ‘dense’ finally run dry
…alongside many more, as he sets out on tour.
About Jay Rayner
Jay Rayner is one of Britain’s best-known food writers — now restaurant critic for the Financial Times, after twenty-five years reviewing for The Observer. He’s a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet and the author of a shelfful of books, including the bestselling cookbook Nights Out at Home.
The book — more recipes, more stories
“It’s time to share a little more of my love for home cooking, and the merry dance of appetite and technique that lies behind the dishes I make.”
Following his bestselling Nights Out at Home, Jay returns to the kitchen with recipes sparked by the dishes he’s fallen for over a quarter-century as a restaurant critic — meatballs with braised spaghetti, shaved fennel and lemon-zest salad, tartiflette tart, slow-cooked tandoori lamb shoulder — alongside twenty of his very own, refined at home. There are home-cooked versions of dishes from the chefs who inspired them, a whole section on the joys of good things on toast, and stories that walk both sides of the ‘home’ and ‘away’ line: the problem with dinner parties, the route to a less painful Christmas lunch, and — given all those wretchedly negative reviews — whether Jay might actually be a total scumbag.
Nights Out in the Kitchen is out 3 September 2026 — available at all good bookshops.
Three reasons to be in the room
★ With only 55 seats, everyone gets something close to a front-row experience — intimate, immediate, and part of the story.
★ Yes, there’s air conditioning — which, in this weather, is practically a cultural service.
★ You’ll be among a small, curious community of people who care about live performance, conversation, and the thrill of being in the room.
On tour with Fane. Jay’s national tour is produced by the team at Fane — and we’re proud to give it its opening night, here in a room of 55.

Dangerous. Unpredictable. Brilliant.
\nNew Year’s Eve, Palm Springs, 1979. Sinatra and the seventies are not a good fit. He hates retirement; his comeback album has flopped. The concerts still sell — he can fill a room — but he feels out of step with the times, and he is chasing the one big hit that might redefine him all over again.
\nTold through music and song from the privacy of his Palm Springs den — on New Year’s Eve, with a small group of invited showbiz pals — SINATRA: One Last Shot is a brand-new play starring multi-award-winner Richard Shelton, with live piano accompaniment. This is not the Sinatra of the greatest-hits package. This is the man after midnight — the doubt behind the swagger, the wit, the temper, the voice.
\nA new play by Bert Tyler Moore, with additional material by Richard Shelton — following his critically acclaimed Sinatra: RAW, which wowed critics worldwide.
\n★★★★★
\n“Shelton as Sinatra is simply phenomenal. He captures the essence of the man perfectly.” — BBC Music
“Masterful — a must-see.” — The Times
“Outstanding… remarkable.” — Broadway World
“You would believe Sinatra was in the room.” — Broadway World
“Both mesmerising and disturbing as Sinatra.” — Playbill

About Richard Shelton
\nRichard Shelton is widely acknowledged as the world’s leading dramatic interpreter of Frank Sinatra. A multi-award-winning actor — Emmerdale, Jane the Virgin, Dig, House of Lies — he has sung by Royal Command for King Charles, and recorded alongside Sinatra’s own bandmates at Capitol Studios, Los Angeles. He is acclaimed worldwide for Sinatra: RAW and Rat Pack Confidential (London, West End).
\nIn a room of fifty-five, a performance like this has nowhere to hide — and nowhere to go but straight into the room.

\nGeorge Michael wrote pop that hid its craft in plain sight — the phrasing, the restraint, the ache under the polish. Strip the productions away and what remains is some of the finest songwriting of its era, and a voice built to carry it.
\nThe catalogue. From Wham! to a solo career of rare craft — Faith (1987), Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 (1990), Older (1996). “Careless Whisper.” “A Different Corner.” “Freedom! ’90.” “Praying for Time.” “Jesus to a Child.”
\nOliver Darley and Chad Lelong take that songbook and reinterpret it whole — voice and piano, no band, no spectacle. This is not a tribute. It’s a reinterpretation, in a room close enough to touch. Pure song and voice. Stripped back.
\nThe evening, both halves — like a record:
\n★ First set · Side A — reinterpreted entire: voice and piano, lights low, received in company.
★ Interval — a breath.
★ Second set · Side B — the songbook, whole.
★ After — stay, talk, connect. The evening doesn’t end at the door.

\nThe biggest sound in rock, reduced to a voice and a piano. Queen built cathedrals of sound — the layered harmonies, the operatic scale, the spectacle that filled stadiums. Take all of it away and the songs still stand. The melody was always doing the work.
\nThe catalogue. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon at full scale — Sheer Heart Attack (1974), A Night at the Opera (1975), News of the World (1977), The Game (1980). “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “Somebody to Love.” “Love of My Life.” “Who Wants to Live Forever.” “These Are the Days of Our Lives.”

\nThe room’s own Bowie evening, returned and expanded — the deep cut. Bowie hid behind personae his whole career; strip the arrangements away and the songwriting steps forward, stranger, plainer, more human.
\nThe catalogue. A shape-shifter across five decades — Hunky Dory (1971), The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust (1972), Low and “Heroes” (1977), Blackstar (2016). “Life on Mars?” “Space Oddity.” “Ashes to Ashes.” “Heroes.” “Where Are We Now?”
\nOliver and Chad’s Bowie album The Seat With The Clearest View (Lateralize Records) began as a reimagining of that catalogue. This is its Director’s Cut — the expanded, definitive take, brought back to Circle & Star whole. Voice and piano, no band, no spectacle. Pure song and voice. Stripped back.

\nThe voice that walked away from pop to find something stranger. Scott Walker had one of the great voices of his generation and spent a career refusing to use it the easy way — from the Walker Brothers’ pop to the solo records that turned inward, orchestral, unafraid.
\nThe catalogue. From The Walker Brothers to a restless solo career — Scott (1967) through Scott 4 (1969), and on to Climate of Hunter (1984), Tilt (1995) and The Drift (2006). “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.” “Jackie.” “Montague Terrace (in Blue).” “The Electrician.”

\nTwo women. One impossible year. And a question, shouted at the radio — if I sing loud enough…
\nIf I Sing Loud Enough is a very British comedy about grief — written by and starring Lorien Haynes, with Daisy Bevan, directed by Saffron Burrows.
\nThis is a staged reading, performed live on stage — Daisy Bevan and Lorien Haynes as Billy and Cat, in the room with you, fifty-five seats deep. Not a screening and not a broadcast — the play, out loud, for one night.
\nBilly and Cat have lost the one person who held them together. What follows is a year of falling apart and holding on — tender, sharp and unexpectedly funny — two friends singing their way through the wreckage.
\nAdapted from Lorien Haynes' Good Grief, staged to four-star acclaim:

One smoked fish. A masterclass in timing, wit and belonging — fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe.
\nMark Maier brings his critically acclaimed one-man show Jewvenile to Circle & Star for two nights only. Following sold-out audiences and rave reviews, Maier invites the room on a high-octane journey through the labyrinth of Jewish identity, family neuroses, and the universal quest for belonging.
\nDrawing on three decades at the top of the international comedy circuit, he moves seamlessly between sharp observational stand-up and poignant storytelling — from the peculiarities of family character traits to the tricky art of Jewish wife swapping. He touches on the legacy of his father, a German-Jewish refugee who famously mistook Newcastle for New York, and introduces a cast of eccentric characters, including the enigmatic Rabbi Schnitzel.
\nThe subject is deeply personal. The humour is entirely universal. As the reviews suggest — you don't have to be Jewish to find the funny bones in this show.

\nOn a crowded train, a stranger's perfume flings you right back to your reckless youth. You weren't looking for it. One breath, and you're suddenly years away. Smell doesn't knock — it walks right in.
Someone you haven’t thought of in ten years, back in a single sniff. A place lost to time, but your mind marks the spot. The feeling lands intact, a time machine to your heart.
Smell touches our hidden selves. It retrieves vanished rooms, reclaims forgotten scenarios. It signals safety and danger, love and fear, life and death, all before the conscious mind can catch up.
For one night, Katie Puckrik does this on purpose — ten times over. The History of the World in 10 Smells is an exploration of time, space and emotion, told through the one sense you can't switch off: a playful scratch'n'sniff journey across pop culture, psychology, history, science and sex, led entirely by the nose. Ten smells, passed round the room one at a time, and the stories each one drags in behind it. One species, explained.
Perfumes kindly provided by Bloom Perfumery
Her evening
\n★ Ten smells, passed hand to hand — bring your nose
★ Time, space and emotion, told through the nose, in a room of fifty-five
★ This only works up close — Circle & Star is the right size to take it personally
★ Field Notes № 001 — the first numbered salon of Volume One
How a Field Notes evening runs
\nDoors 7:00pm. A field notebook waits on every seat.
The idea, 7:30–8:30. One sitting, no interval. Phones away — and, alone among the Notes salons, the lights come up. The work is a living mind in the room, not a playback.
Then the room takes it up. Questions first, then time to stay, talk and connect. The conversation that doesn't end at the door.
About Katie Puckrik
\nKatie Puckrik built the first perfume channel on YouTube, and the one that changed how perfume gets talked about. She has spent the years since making scents make sense: funny, precise, idiosyncratic.
\nShe made her name presenting Channel 4's The Word, and has been a voice on popular culture ever since — devising and presenting ITV's Pyjama Party, fronting the BBC's I Can Go For That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock, and writing for The Guardian, The Observer, The Telegraph, Elle and The Sunday Times. She co-hosts the modern history podcast We Didn't Start the Fire, named one of the Observer's ten best podcasts of 2021. Before television she danced — with DV8 Physical Theatre, the Michael Clark Company, and the Pet Shop Boys. And on this evening, she makes the invisible visible.
\n\nNotes Week I — this salon falls between its two sisters. Tuesday 1 September: Sleeve Notes plays Joni Mitchell's Blue, whole. Thursday 3 September: Reel Notes screens The Graduate. The record, the idea, the picture — three nights running.
\nYou won't leave with the answer.
You'll leave still thinking.

\nDavid McAlmont returns to Circle & Star with a seasonal treat — the Great American Songbook, and the personal story of a lifelong fascination with the country that created it.
\nTravelling backwards through almost sixty years of American influence, McAlmont sets Songbook classics he has never performed before alongside memories of film, history, music and television. In the year America turns two hundred and fifty, he asks what all of that has meant to someone who grew up watching it from somewhere else.
\nPart concert, part storytelling, What Is This Thing Called Love? explores what happens when childhood enchantment collides with adult knowledge.
\n★ The Great American Songbook — classics David has never sung before
★ Part concert, part storytelling — the songs and the life that found them
★ One of Britain’s great voices, in a room of fifty-five
★ One night only, in the run-up to Christmas
About David McAlmont
Singer, writer and art historian, David McAlmont has one of the most distinctive voices in British music. In this room, there is nothing between it and you.
This is Field Notes — the thinking salon. This time the idea is sung as well as spoken. You won’t leave with the answer. You’ll leave still humming it.

\nFagin.
\nBack by popular demand this December — the acclaimed immersive character study, at Circle & Star.
\nFifteen five-star reviews. The most acclaimed production of Oliver! in recent memory. Now, something entirely new.
\nThe Evening
\nPart detective story, part love letter, part provocation. Steve inhabits a gallery of characters across two halves — Fagin himself, of course, but also the real man who inspired him, the artists who shaped him, and the people who challenged everything we thought we knew.
\nThe first half traces Fagin from page to stage: the 257 times Dickens wrote \"the Jew\" instead of his name. The real-life Ikey Solomons — fence, fugitive, escapee — whose extraordinary story Dickens borrowed and never credited. The woman who bought Dickens' own house and confronted him about what he'd done.
\nThe second half belongs to the musical — Lionel Bart's East End genius, the transformation of villain into something audiences couldn't help but love, and why Oliver! changed the question entirely.
\nSongs. Sketches. Cruikshank's illustrations brought to life. A question that never quite resolves — and one performer holding all of it in a room of fifty-five.
\n\"Steve Furst is superb in the deeply problematic role of Fagin.\"
The Telegraph
\"Steve Furst is equally outstanding as anguished villain Fagin.\"
Daily Express
\"Steve Furst was incredible as Fagin.\"
Theatre and Tonic
\"Probably the best Fagin I've seen.\"

Ukraine. Syria. Sudan. Yemen.
this is a work in progress — before the national tour.
\nThe world is facing more armed conflicts than at any point in decades — and Jeremy Bowen has reported from the centre of nearly all of them.
\nAs the BBC's International Editor, Jeremy has spent over 40 years covering more than 90 countries and 20 wars. From El Salvador in 1989 to the frontlines today, he has interviewed world leaders, documented war crimes, been shot at, and survived to tell the stories.
\nBut something has changed. Israel prevents foreign journalists from entering Gaza. Russia controls the narrative in occupied Ukraine. Governments from Syria to Sudan restrict access, manipulate information, and discredit reporters who contradict official accounts. In the age of social media, competing claims flood our screens — but who is telling the truth? And how do we know?
\nJeremy has spent his career fighting for access, verifying what others want hidden, and bearing witness when governments would rather the world look away. He will explain how the battle for truth is being waged, why press freedom is collapsing in conflict zones, and what it means when the first casualty of war is not just truth, but those trying to report it.
\nIn the second half, audiences will have the chance to put their questions to a journalist who has made it his life's work to get as close to the truth as possible — even when that truth is dangerous, disputed, or under fire.
\nAn essential evening for anyone who wants to understand the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.
\nThree reasons to be in the room
\n★ Forty years. Ninety countries. Twenty wars. One of the most experienced correspondents of his generation — in a room of 55.
★ The second half belongs to the audience — an open Q&A with a reporter who has spent a career getting as close to the truth as it is possible to get.
★ With only 55 seats, everyone gets something close to a front-row experience — intimate, immediate, and part of the story.
Contains frank discussion of war, conflict and their human cost. Under-18s welcome — parental guidance advised.
\nRunning time: approximately 1 hour 50 minutes, including the Q&A.
\nPresented by Fane Productions at Circle & Star.

ONE NIGHT AT CIRCLE & STAR
Seen by millions. Here for fifty-five.
\nOn Wednesday 7 October, Lee Mack comes to Circle & Star for a benefit night created especially for our little Hampstead theatre.
\nThere will be stories. There will be quick answers. There may be a joke or two. And, because this is Circle & Star, the room may have plans of its own.
\nJoining Lee on stage is Steve Furst — comedian, writer and Circle & Star's artistic director — along with a special musical guest to be announced closer to the night.
\nThis is a one-off evening, made for this room. Fifty-five people, one extraordinary guest and the kind of closeness that allows every glance, pause and perfectly timed answer to become part of the occasion.
\nAll proceeds from the night go to Circle & Star Theatre.
\n★ One night only
\n★ Lee Mack, Steve Furst and a special musical guest
\n★ Fifty-five seats — all of them close
\n★ A fundraising benefit night for Circle & Star Theatre
\nABOUT LEE MACK
\nThree landmark shows. Millions watching. One unmistakably quick mind.
\nNOT GOING OUT
Created, co-written by and starring Lee, the BBC sitcom has been on our screens for twenty years. It has reached 106 episodes across 14 broadcast series, with its fifteenth on the way — making it the longest-running British sitcom currently on air.
WOULD I LIE TO YOU?
Lee has occupied the team captain's chair since the programme began in 2007. Nineteen series later, his exchanges with David Mitchell and Rob Brydon remain among the sharpest and best-loved minutes on British television.
THE 1% CLUB
Lee's Saturday-night quiz regularly attracts more than five million viewers. Since launching, it has been streamed more than 60 million times and reached over 43 million viewers.
Lee won the 2020 BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance and began, as a good many of the best do, by winning So You Think You're Funny? at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1995.
\nOn 7 October, one of British comedy's quickest minds comes to a room of just fifty-five.

\nA sell-out, five-star run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Now a triumphant return to Hampstead — for one night only.
\nHe took it to Edinburgh and played it out. Three five-star reviews, a Gold Award, and a month of full houses at Dirty Martini, Le Monde. On Saturday 19 September, SINATRA: One Last Shot comes back to the room it started in — and there are fifty-five seats.
\nThe evening
\nNew Year’s Eve, Palm Springs, 1979. Sinatra and the seventies are not a good fit. He hates retirement; his comeback album has flopped. The concerts still sell — he can fill a room — but he feels out of step with the times, and he is chasing the one big hit that might redefine him all over again.
\nTold through music and song from the privacy of his Palm Springs den — on New Year’s Eve, with a small group of invited showbiz pals — this is not the Sinatra of the greatest-hits package. This is the man after midnight: the doubt behind the swagger, the wit, the temper, the voice. A stool, a microphone, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s, and live piano.
\nWritten and directed by Bert Tyler-Moore, creator of The Windsors and Star Stories, with additional material by and starring multi-award-winner Richard Shelton — following his critically acclaimed Sinatra: RAW, which wowed critics worldwide.
\nWhat Edinburgh said
\n“You feel as though Sinatra himself has walked into the room.”
— My Cultural Life ★★★★★
“Quite possibly the best live Sinatra interpreter we’ve ever heard… a gorgeous hour of theatre.”
— West End Best Friend ★★★★★
“A man born for the role… this marvellous play.”
— Entertainment Now ★★★★★
“A stylish, funny and surprisingly poignant portrait of Sinatra.”
— My Cultural Life ★★★★★
And before that
\n“Shelton as Sinatra is phenomenal.” — BBC Music
“Masterful — a must-see.” — The Times
“You would believe Sinatra was in the room.” — Broadway World
“Both mesmerising and disturbing as Sinatra.” — Playbill

About Richard Shelton
\nRichard Shelton is widely acknowledged as the world’s leading dramatic interpreter of Frank Sinatra. A multi-award-winning actor — Emmerdale, Jane the Virgin, Dig, House of Lies — he has sung by Royal Command for King Charles, and recorded alongside Sinatra’s own bandmates at Capitol Studios, Los Angeles. He is acclaimed worldwide for Sinatra: RAW and Rat Pack Confidential (London, West End).
\nIn a room of fifty-five, a performance like this has nowhere to hide — and nowhere to go but straight into the room.

Two nights. Heard out loud for the first time.
\nFrom writers of the international hit Menopause The Musical 2 comes The Viagra Monologues — A Midlife Musical: a rehearsed reading of a brand-new show, in a room of fifty-five.
\nThe Evening
\nFour old school friends, now in middle-age meltdown, head to Las Vegas for a stag weekend of shenanigans, over-sharing, and a sh*tload of Gaviscon. Will it be third time lucky for our hapless hero?
\nHysterical, honest and uplifting, and told through razor-sharp parodies of classic hits, this is a timely tale of the male menopause — bad backs and dad bods, heartbreak and heartburn. A celebration of friendship, and the wisdom that, sometimes, comes with age.
\nGents — don't suffer in silence.
Ladies — if you can't laugh with your other half, laugh at him.
A rehearsed reading
\nThis is not a finished production. It is the stage before one — scripts in hand, songs on their feet, a new show finding out what it is in front of an audience for the very first time. In a room this close, you don't just watch that happen. You are part of it.

\nThirteen songs drawn from Marilyn's films, sung live. Costume changes, dance, dialogue and projection. And running underneath all of it, the questions that never quite settled — the triumphs, the tragedies, and a death that has never stopped being argued over.
\nJoJo Desmond peels the myth back to find the woman underneath — what fame asked of her, what Hollywood took, and where the “casting couch” began. Celebration and reckoning in the same evening, in a room of fifty-five.

Three nights only.
\nThis room has held singers, writers and actors. In November, for the first time, it holds a magician — and the room turns out to be the whole point.
\nLuke Jermay brings In Search of Magic to Circle & Star — classical sleight of hand, staged as a private soirée in Victorian London, and performed at the top of a Victorian staircase in a late-19th-century building on Heath Street.
\nThe Evening
\nAcross oceans, over mountains, around a frozen lake beneath a lighthouse at the end of the world. Our Magician has come back with stories, and with impossibilities from the golden age of conjuring — the hidden work of underground card cheats, the swordsmanship of the flamboyant L'Homme Masqué — revived by a contemporary master.
\nNo trapdoors. No smoke or mirrors. No camera trickery, no mechanical deception. Two hands, a few simple objects, and the living fictions they can make between them.
\nWhy it has to happen here
\nSleight of hand is the one art a screen destroys. Cut the shot and he has cheated; widen it and you have lost the hands. It needs a person close enough to watch breathing, and a room small enough to watch them in.
\nFifty-five seats up an old staircase — a theatre in its own right, with its own front door and West End sound and lighting. The nearest seat is close enough to see his fingers work, and still not close enough to catch them.
\nProximity. Presence. And then the thing that could not have happened, happening a yard away. This is the real magic.
\n“Jaw-dropping! Jermay puts us in a state where we can wonder if the world has more possibilities than we thought it did before!”
The Times
“Jermay is mind-blowing!”
The Sun
“Jermay is different! Utterly astonishing in the extreme!”
The Edinburgh Evening News
Who is the Magician?
\nLuke Jermay is acknowledged by his peers as a master of sleight of hand. He has presented his own creations in more than thirty countries — London's West End, the Edinburgh Festival, the Hollywood Magic Castle — and he is the magician other magicians call, having built illusions performed by Derren Brown, Dynamo, Lu Chen and Keith Barry.

\nNOW TUESDAY 1 DECEMBER 2026
\nFIELD NOTES — The Thinking Salon · № 001
\nThe first one sold out. So it returns — one more night, one more room of fifty-five, ten more smells passed hand to hand.
\nOn a crowded train, a stranger's perfume flings you right back to your reckless youth. You weren't looking for it. One breath, and you're suddenly years away. Smell doesn't knock — it walks right in.
Someone you haven't thought of in ten years, back in a single sniff. A place lost to time, but your mind marks the spot. The feeling lands intact, a time machine to your heart.
Smell touches our hidden selves. It retrieves vanished rooms, reclaims forgotten scenarios. It signals safety and danger, love and fear, life and death, all before the conscious mind can catch up.
For one night, Katie Puckrik does this on purpose — ten times over. The History of the World in 10 Smells is an exploration of time, space and emotion, told through the one sense you can't switch off: a playful scratch'n'sniff journey across pop culture, psychology, history, science and sex, led entirely by the nose. Ten smells, passed round the room one at a time, and the stories each one drags in behind it. One species, explained.
Perfumes kindly provided by Bloom Perfumery
Her evening
\n★ Ten smells, passed hand to hand — bring your nose
★ Time, space and emotion, told through the nose, in a room of fifty-five
★ This only works up close — Circle & Star is the right size to take it personally
★ Field Notes № 001 — the salon that sold out in September, back for one more night
How a Field Notes evening runs
\nDoors 7:00pm. A field notebook waits on every seat.
The idea, 7:30–8:30. One sitting, no interval. Phones away — and, alone among the Notes salons, the lights come up. The work is a living mind in the room, not a playback.
Then the room takes it up. Questions first, then time to stay, talk and connect. The conversation that doesn't end at the door.
About Katie Puckrik
\nKatie Puckrik built the first perfume channel on YouTube, and the one that changed how perfume gets talked about. She has spent the years since making scents make sense: funny, precise, idiosyncratic.
\nShe made her name presenting Channel 4's The Word, and has been a voice on popular culture ever since — devising and presenting ITV's Pyjama Party, fronting the BBC's I Can Go For That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock, and writing for The Guardian, The Observer, The Telegraph, Elle and The Sunday Times. She co-hosts the modern history podcast We Didn't Start the Fire, named one of the Observer's ten best podcasts of 2021. Before television she danced — with DV8 Physical Theatre, the Michael Clark Company, and the Pet Shop Boys. And on this evening, she makes the invisible visible.
\nAlso in December — Tuesday 8 December, Sleeve Notes plays John Martyn's Solid Air, whole. The idea and the record, a week apart.
\nYou won't leave with the answer.
You'll leave still thinking.

After a successful tour in the Spring, the show returns due to demand for one last time this autumn.
\nIn 1996, Think No Evil Of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams arrived at the Edinburgh Fringe and changed everything — winning awards, touring nationally and transferring to the West End. Audiences, critics and even Williams’ closest friends hailed it as the definitive portrait of the much-missed star.
\nMarking Kenneth Williams’ 100th Birthday, David Benson returns with a beautifully re-crafted version of this iconic performance. Part memoir, part séance, part wickedly funny character study, the show explores the strange and powerful thread that bound Benson to Williams from boyhood to adulthood.
\nDame Maggie Smith said of Benson: “You put the heart across me… I thought it was Kenneth!”

\nMarvin Becker has died, and his three children have one afternoon to bury him.
\nYitzy gave up fourteen years of his life — a scholarship, a career, a future — to care for their father. Cooper paid for every penny of that care from three thousand miles away, and never once visited. Denise, in the middle, has opinions about both of them and no intention of keeping them to herself.
\nAround them: an aunt who has not stopped talking since 1961, a rabbi hired off the internet who turns out to be a working comedian, a eulogy with the wrong names in it, and a grave that has been dug to the wrong size.
\nBy the end of the afternoon the Beckers will have learned something about their father that none of them suspected — and will have to decide whether they can stand to sit in the same room for a week.
\nWits End is a comedy about who did the caring, who paid for it, and what we owe someone we never really knew. The audience is the congregation, and in a room of fifty-five there is nowhere to look away.

“One word can be worth a thousand pictures.” The Wall Street Journal on Via Dolorosa.
\nIn 1997, David Hare visited Israel and the Palestinian territory for the first time. He performed the resulting monologue about the divisions both between and inside the two communities over two hundred times, in the West End and on Broadway. The current three years of war have served to deepen the relevance and urgency of the questions the play once asked. Now, without a word changed, Alex Lawther will read the text twenty-eight years after its first performance, directed, like the original, by Stephen Daldry.

Wonder Room presents · hosted at the Circle & Star, Hampstead
Hosted by Jonathan Wingate
Sixty-one years ago tomorrow, this was the record everyone wanted for Christmas. Rubber Soul came out on 3 December 1965, made in a month to be in the shops in time. We play it on the eve of its birthday — the story first, then the record in full. Lights low. Phones away. Fifty-five seats, listening together. This is not a gig. It's a salon, where the album is the star of the evening.
\nSide A · Discussion — a guided deep dive into Rubber Soul: the Christmas deadline, the sitar, plastic soul.
Interval — a short break, a light refreshment.
Side B · Listen — The Beatles' Rubber Soul, in full, in the dark, in company.
Live in the room — a guest musician joins us on Side A. To be announced.
\n1965. The year the Beatles stopped writing for the screaming and started writing for the listening. Folk guitars, a soul bass, a sitar on Norwegian Wood — and In My Life, Michelle, Nowhere Man. Fourteen songs, thirty-six minutes. Across the Atlantic, Brian Wilson heard it and went away to make Pet Sounds.
\nYour host — Jonathan Wingate
Jonathan Wingate spent years as the spokesman for David Bowie and Sir Bob Geldof before turning to journalism. He writes for The Times, the Daily Telegraph, Mojo and Rolling Stone, and has interviewed everyone from Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin and Robert Plant to Björk, Smokey Robinson and Tony Bennett. A regular voice on BBC television and radio.
The perfect gift this Christmas. A seat at the salon, wrapped in a record — for the person who still reads the sleeve notes.

\nJohn Waters' Cry-Baby · One night only
\nLondon's newest cult film club, celebrating the most debauched and iconic moments in cinema history — and this time it comes up the stairs to Hampstead.
\nBaltimore, 1954. The Drapes against the Squares. Johnny Depp as Wade \"Cry-Baby\" Walker, the delinquent with a single perfect tear, in John Waters' rock'n'roll musical — a send-up of every teen picture the fifties ever made.
\nEvery screening opens with a little introduction — sometimes a costume competition, sometimes a quiz. There's free popcorn for everyone. Then a night of juvenile delinquency.
\nYou absolutely do not have to know the film. Whether it's your hundredth time or your first, the club welcomes you with open arms. Film fanatics, cinephiles and anyone looking to widen their film palate — Drapes and Squares alike.
\nHow the evening runs
