The film is brought to you by Luna Cinema, the esteemed pop up Cinema Company who have provided memorable evenings at Kew Gardens, Brockwell Lido and Hampton Court Palace.

Thursday 13th of June 8:30 pm – Searching For Sugar Man – An Oscar winning documentary about a ‘lost’ American musician: truly heart-warming and inspiring.

The film will be accompanied by delicious food from local cafés and restaurants and a great bar courtesy of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Everyone is welcome to bring picnics and – if you make it early enough – to grab one of the brand new Vauxhall Village deckchairs. Vauxhall’s eating and drinking places will be staying open late and restaurants will be providing special pre-film offers for those holding a Vauxhall Village Perk discount card. Guests are invited to get a good spot in the park from 6pm when food and music will begin.

The concept was first conceived by comedians John-Luke Roberts (BBC Talent Finalist) and Thom Tuck (presenter of BBC Radio 4′s Sketchorama) who realised they were both in need of a comedy night that could be reliably alternative. The duo describe the show as ‘Fresh Sisyphean Comedy’* symbolising the effort in attempt to create something brilliant. At the end of each act, the two will cry: ‘A failure?’ And the crowd will reply: ‘A noble failure!’ signifying that even if the act did not impress, more is learned from failure than from success. Audience participation is encouraged, but only in the form of ‘permitted heckles’ (see website for details – brownie points if executed with impeccable comic timing.)

Designed for comedians to trial novel material, straight stand-up is seldom seen and proceedings can easily escalate into haphazard hilarity. Previous examples include an alcohol-fuelled bleep test, on-stage pancake making and a talcum-powder roller-disco; but within the theatre’s dimly-lit basement bar is a supportive atmosphere that allows comedians the freedom to do things they’ve never done before, and may never do again. Tickets are reasonable (around £12.50 each.) Sign up to their newsletter and you can get exclusive discount codes.

*In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was condemned to a life of pushing a boulder uphill, only to see it rolling back down again.
