Cabaret Tent

[Smash Williams]

Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I had a look and couldn't find anything. There is a TBC for the Cabaret tent on the Thursday. Is it running a full line up on the Thursday this year?

I've just had my eyes drawn to it by your post.

It was done in error, due to auto-pilot listing from what's on Alistair Barrie's website. Presumably he's listing his days away at Glastonbury and not his days performing at Glastonbury, so it's been removed from the line-up page here.

Cheers mate. Back to plan A for the thursday then, whatever that is!

Well worth swinging by the Mavericks venue in the Cabaret field. It is open late and has some rather unusual acts later on. Curated by Jess Churchill.

Becoming a bit of a tradition catching The Lounge Kittens there to be honest. Love them. Saw Frank Sanazi last year, great craic when I got over the initial shock.

I saw Alastair Barrie in Edinburgh doing his no more stage 3 show about his wife's breast cancer.

Brilliantly done and highly recommended.

I spend at least half the weekend in the cabaret field. So much to see, always amusing, often thought provoking too and generally it's more inclusive and interactive between crowd and performer.

I really miss Record Graveyard last thing on a Sunday.

It was a few years ago and hundreds of people turned up for the show, mostly armed with bags and pocketfuls of rice.  

I can't remember who was performing (American/Canadian bloke with a guitar?), but he had a real problem winning over the audience.  His plaintive cries of "I'm sorry, I'm not HIM" didn't go far and in the end if I remember correctly he had to go off stage and come back on bollock naked with his guitar to win the crowd over.  Ended up being a real laugh, I guess the that particular crowd will give almost anything a go if the Record Graveyard is their favourite act.

Bring back Woody Bop Muddy!

Favourite act I've seen in the Cabaret Tent was "Men in Coats", hilarious, clever and very inventive. Enjoyed Frank Sanazi too a couple of times. Circus tent is well worth a visit at some point too,

Circus Fields in general is where I spend most of my time each day. If you spend a good few hours in there and just sit down at whetever stage takes your fancy then you are guaranteed to see something great.

Phil Nichol! Won them over in the end though, which I'd figured would be nigh on impossible!

Standard shout out to bramble fm and mik artistik! Always a joy to watch. This part of the festival always surprises and delights in a way that music acts sometimes fail to do! Plus i find bands and djs easy to see outside the festival whereas id have no idea where to go to see most of the cabaret field performers!

One of the funniest things I saw was the Spy Monkey routine in 2009.
