They’re back! The naughtiest, funniest, most drunken cabaret stars it’s ever been our pleasure to ruin good underwear over are making a grand return to Soho Theatre Walthamstow in their first performance in London since 2007. From July 3 to 5, Justin Vivian Bond and Kenny Mellman will present their latest show, Kiki & Herb are Trying!
You will know Kiki & Herb for their unique blend of dark humour and musical covers of unexpected songs done in their trademark lounge style. Their performances, described as a cocktail-soaked, piano-pounding whirlwind, push the boundaries of conventional cabaret. Steve Lock, head of comedy at Soho Theatre, expressed his enthusiasm: ‘They are, without doubt, one of the acts who have helped define, shape and influence everything we want to be at Soho Theatre.’
In addition to their performance as Kiki & Herb, Bond will also showcase their solo work with a tribute to Marianne Faithfull, aptly titled Justin Vivian Bond – Sex with Strangers, set for July 11 and 12.
