Marlene Dietrich, Ute Lemper, La Voix… The cabaret has given rise to some of the most boundary- pushing female performers of the 20th & 21st Centuries. Yet the songwriters behind these performers, those who get remembered, are usually male. No more, we say!

Amy J Payne and Anna Pool invite you to a relaxed and intimate cabaret of words and music from a dazzling array of female songwriters. Expect riotous laughter, quiet reflection, and plenty of joyful surprises as we journey from Piaf to protests to… penguins?

Named a Spitalfields Festival 2024 festival favourite, Frau, That’s What I Call Music might just help you discover that some world-famous numbers might not be written by who you thought they were… grab your party hat and come celebrate!
