Boom Boom, Prospero's Tavern (2.0/5)
Spiegeltent, Wonderground,
Southbank, London
31 July 2012
Usual Spiegeltent menu of cabaret and burlesque let down by poor hosting and thoughtless staging. The vaudverville acts were good to great, special mention for Up and Overs hand-drumming, tap dancing routine and a brilliant mime to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now". Jonny Woo's camp cross-dressing MC, Prospero, became a drag on the show after the first two gags. It was annoying being asked to move from a booth to the GA stalls only for each act to work mainly at the front of the thrust, backs to most of us.
