Event information

Are you ready to be Distracted?

Come one come all as MITCH BENN & THE DISTRACTIONS (KIRSTY NEWTON and IVAN SHEPPARD) present THE DISTRACTION CLUB, London's premier monthly musical comedy night, showcasing the finest acts in the genre, from it's longest standing veterans to the brightest up-and-comers, combining everything that's great about music, comedy and entertainment. Performances from the hosts, guest acts and a featured headliner punctuate a night revered by acts and audience alike in an intimate and unfailingly enjoyable Central London locale. To quote the great Rich Hall "The Distraction Club is rare, high-powered and entertaining. Don't go, you're not cool enough!". Please do, you definitely are!

For your pleasure this month...

NEIL INNES
There's really not much anyone should have to say about a true Legend like Neil Innes, when credits including collaborations with MONTY PYTHON, the BONZO DOG DOO-DAH band and outstanding Beatles parody group THE RUTTLES are really all anyone needs to know.... the word 'veteran' was created for men like Neil, and his legacy speaks volumes. Having played for us once before at our 1st Birthday show back in 2012, it will be an honour and a privilege to have him back on our stage again showing the world how it's done. If you didn't catch him last time, now is your chance to rectify. Seriously, not an opportunity you'll get often and DEFINITELY not one to miss!!

WAEN SHEPHERD aka GARY LE STRANGE
A very special appearance by Waen, aka the inimitable Gary Le Strange. . . in light of the recent tragic passing of the late, great David Bowie, Waen is bringing Gary back to The Distraction Club for a one-off Bowie-inspired tribute. Always brilliant and a true great in his field, this promises to be a definitively special performance for fans of Gary AND David alike.

JONNY & THE BAPTISTS
The boys are back in town! JONNY (Jonny Donahoe) and his BAPTISTS (Paddy Gervers...haha!) are once again hitting The Distraction Club with their trademark wit, incredible way with words, and memorable musical musings. A favourite amongst fans and fellow performers, they promise to be an absolute pleasure as always!
