Ida Barr: Never Heard The Like listing on Broadway Baby

Brighton Fringe

Brighton's Favourite, as faded yet not jaded as a seaside pier, Ida Barr returns!This former music hall singer used to be quite the shining star, known for her two big hits, 'Oh You Beautiful Doll' and 'Everybodys Doin It'. Now she's embracing a whole new musical genre which she's christened 'Slipped Disco' or 'Artificial Hip-Hop'. To great acclaim, she has launched her new album, 'Get Old or Die Tryin', and she invites you to join her for an old fashioned, New Wave sing-along. Idas going to be mashing up Rhianna with Dan Leno, Omi with Noel Coward and Marie Lloyd with Eminem. Believe us, you aint heard nothin' like it.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
