Earl Okin
Earl Okin is a triple threat…international Jazz/Bossa Nova performer, legendary songwriter and, of-course headline musical comedian.
Unique and unmissable! He’s been dazzling audiences worldwide for years, so if you’ve never seen him live, here is your chance.
“You are quite a genius you are – you have managed to find a niche in Cabaret I have never seen nor heard before – you are simply brilliant. Hard to categorize – musician/comedian or what – I guess you are anything as long as they book you. One must see you in person to “get you” – even though your musicianship is fantastic!!! Your guitar and especially piano playing is thrilling in all the genres!” Buddy Bregman (Legendary producer/arranger of the Ella Fitzgerald ‘Songbook’ series, who has worked with just about everybody..from Sammy Davis Jr. to Bing Crosby, etc).
“Multi-talented musical supremo” Time Out
Johnny Macaulay
"The man of a 1000 Farces".
Johnny MacAulay brings his one man show of Physical comedy, explosive stage illusions and genuinely dangerous stunts. MacAulay is a “very dark, very funny clown” (Metro) who with his cabaret and street performing experience he engages the audience with youthful guile, the Man of a 1000 Farces celebrates the absurd, combining trepidation with comedy genius!
Ben Cornish
Ben has been lurking around on the juggling/cabaret scene for years now. Celebrating this year 30 years of making a living from being a juggler/entertainer. Organiser of the 1990 British Juggling Convention it became clear that being an 'organiser' was never going to be the way forwards...so with a bag of props and an optimistic outlook Ben took to the streets . After 5 years as a street performer more and more bookings led to more 'secure' employment in Theme Parks , Holiday Camps & Street Festivals before teaming up with another clown ( literally !) to form a long running double act specialising in Family Shows Circus Berzercus (www.circusberzercus.co.uk) which have been a mainstay of the National Rural Touring scheme ever since. Ben still works as a solo artist & very much looks forward to his return visit to Cabaret Boom Boom !!
