SUZANNE NOBLE: Get ready for a night of filthy fun, as George Webster on piano and vocalist Suzanne Noble team up to perform once-banned, risqué songs from the 1920s-40s, many of which prominently feature the word ‘hot dog’. Together, they will regale you with tunes like ‘If I can’t sell it, I’ll keep sitting on it,’ ‘My Big 10″,’ and ‘Sam, the Hot Dog Man.’ These songs were originally sung by celebrated artists such as Bessie Smith and Alberta Hunter and lesser-known names like Lil Johnson and Bo Carter. Back in the day, you would have heard these songs in brothels, speakeasies, and vaudeville theaters. Prepare yourself for laughter, and if you’re musically inclined, join in the sing-along. There’s no doubt that you’ll leave the show with a big smile on your face.

Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!
