Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club - Review

After winning 7 Olivier Awards, the hype around Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club is real. With mystery surrounding the whole show, you are encouraged to keep the secrets of what happens inside the club from the moment you step foot into the theatre until you leave. From the snippets of information you know before you enter, you are aware that the show is nothing short of immersive, and the whole theatre has been renovated to accommodate this new revival of this classic show. 

Whilst initially I hadn't been too bothered about seeing this show, after watching the incredible performance by Amy Lennox at the Olivier Awards, I knew I had to be there. With a handful of affordable tickets in the theatre, as soon as the next batch was released I booked tickets quicker than I could catch my breath. Tickets are priced between £30 and £325 per performance, and whilst I knew that the expensive ones would be worth every penny, they just weren't in my budget. 

After months of waiting, it was finally our time to head to the elusive Kit Kat Club and see what all the fuss was about. I took Scott with me, who knew next to nothing about the show, so I was excited to get his opinion on it. 

Stand Atlantic - Electric Ballroom

I am one of those people that still listens to the same music that they did when they were 14/15. It's not that new music isn't good, it's just I don't have time like I did when I was younger to sit and listen to every new band to find that diamond in the rough. Sometimes though my Spotify playlist throws a new song into the mix and I find an absolute headbanger of a tune. 

That's what happened when we discovered Stand Atlantic. An Australian band that sing songs that just transport me back to standing in a gig venue as a 15 year old, screaming along to songs at the top of my lungs. So when Scott surprised me with tickets to see them in London, you can bet I was excited! Alas the weather wanted to prevent us from going (it was the weekend of the the storm to end all storms), but in all honesty, we were ready to battle whatever weather in order to be at the Electric Ballroom. 

The Shark Is Broken - Ambassadors Theatre - Review


I always love taking a shot at a show that seems to go against the grain, one that stands out and seems a bit different from everything else in the West End. So when Scott asked if The Shark Is Broken was a play that I wanted to see, I got us tickets. I'm going to be honest, whilst I love the film of Jaws and it's one that I've seen time and time again, I wasn't too sure if a play about it was really going to win me over, but I am always willing to give something a try. With the show being an Edinburgh Festival smash, I knew we would be in for a treat. 


Attending The Queens Royal Garden Party

When I started volunteering for a charity, I was more excited to see how I could help those in a similar situation to mine. I wanted to educate and empower and never expected to have so many amazing experiences in return. Every year the Queen holds a royal garden party to celebrate the charities that her and the royal family support. 

Being part of one of those charities, I found myself with a golden ticket this year and have been internally screaming that I was going to be stepping into the gates of the most famous palace in England with some of my best charity friends. 


Scooby Doo Live

 There's not many TV shows that can unite generations, but Scooby Doo seems to be one that has stood the test of time and is still loved and adored to this day. In our house, it's a show that we can watch time and time again without getting bored. So when a Scooby parcel arrived on our doorstep I couldn't wait to have Max open it!
