The Montague Arms

An eccentric variety show of art, music and comedy takes place every month in The Montague Arms.

One moment the audience are laughing along to a comedy routine, the next they are hushed to silence for a performance art piece or poetry reading, the next moment they are handed song sheets and asked to sing along with a musician. Previous evenings have also seen copulating ghosts, masquerades, men dressed as eggs, laughing bears, witchcraft, singing cats, drunken pirates, orchestras, maths lectures, mediaeval ceremonies, under-sea gods and even a visit by Santa's sinister brother Uncle Christmas. The acts are usually curated together using a different theme each month. Previous theme nights have included Science Fiction, Music Hall, Super Heroes, Witches, Cowboys and the Sea.

The evening takes places in The Montague Arms, which was voted number one pub by The Rough Pub Guide : A Celebration of the Great British Boozer. Once you get in side it is easy to see why. Montague Arms is a venue stuffed full of stuffed animals and other odd items collected over its long history. The same family have run the pub for over forty years and they can tell tales of east-end gangsters, blue comedians, punks, cockney sing-along, prog rock, coach trips and dancing girls who weren’t what they said they were. They also serve a decent pint of beer. You won’t find atmosphere like this in many other places anymore.
