A Couple of Swells: A Fundraising Musical Gala for Marylebone Theatre

  • Marylebone Theatre, London Rudolf Steiner House, 35 Park Road London. NW1 6XT United Kingdom (map)

Internationally acclaimed singers Liza Pulman and Joe Stilgoe play a very special fundraising show. Supported by celebrity friends including Alistair McGowan and Zeb Soanes with other artists to be announced, this will be a breath-taking show of virtuosic musicianship and fabulous theatricality, combining on the spot improvisation and the quickest of wits.

Zeb will be joined by Joe Stilgoe (piano) and Chris Warner (accordian) to perform The Diary of a Church Mouse from his forthcoming tour of Betjeman’s Banana Blush, celebrating 50 years of the cult recording of the poet laureate’s verse set to music by Jim Parker.

The Marylebone Theatre is a small, off-West End venue, getting a reputation for outstanding work. After only a year, it has acquired numerous awards and five star reviews and been praised by The Guardian for consistently turning our shows “with National theatre production values”.  Without public subsidy, the theatre relies on income from ticket sales and donations from supporters of the arts. In 2024 it wants to make a quantum leap with a slate of productions set to involve some of Britain’s top actors and directors. At a time when serious, high quality theatre is under threat, the Marylebone Theatre is a boldly pioneering venture, already bringing fresh vision and creativity to London.

Tickets £50
