On the last Sunday of the month, we present CABARET FAMALAMB! It's a cabaret show for all the family.Starring 'Silly Sonja' (aka CheekyKita) with some very special guests from the world of comedy, magic, music, puppetry, and circus... anything can happen! This month at The Actors Theatre, for our Brighton Fringe special, we have our host: the enigmatic and surreal character comedian Silly Sonja being joined by: an amazing bubble magician, straight from his own Brighton Fringe solo show, Maxwell the Bubbleologist, and Brighton's very own real-life pixie, Twig the Pixie!Each month we will have different guests, always silly, always fun, and always professional entertainers. Some of the acts we have coming up in the next few months include: professional comedians, stars of TV, recorded musicians, circus skills teachers, professional puppeteers, members of the Magic Circle, and published children's authors.To end the show each month, we would like to invite one or two of our younger audience members (sorry parents, this isn't for you) to take their turn on the stage to see if they can entertain their peers - tell a joke or two, do a dance, juggle some crisp packets... whatever the talent is. If you know someone who may like to perform, please email: [email protected] to reserve a slot! *very limited!*We have two sessions: 12:30 is for ages 4+1:30 is for ages 8+ But this is just a recommendation, younger or older, everyone is welcome! We want to encourage a warm and fun space for all the family, so choose which session might fit.

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.
