Brick Lane Music Hall unveils its autumn season with Cockney singalongs, Rat Pack classics and Britain’s Got Talent star
Brick Lane Music Hall is heading into autumn with a programme that mixes traditional East End entertainment with new shows, family performances and a few changes behind the scenes.
The East London venue has announced its 2026 autumn season ahead of its 35th anniversary next year, with the programme including its much-loved Cockney Sing-Song, Rat Pack & Friends and Vincent’s Variety Showcase.
There will also be a first for the venue this autumn, with Sunday performances being introduced for the first time. The move gives audiences more opportunities to attend shows built around live music, comedy, variety and food.
Among the new additions is a Country Superstars line dance-along on 29 October, featuring music associated with Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Patsy Cline and John Denver. The event includes a line-dancing class, the show and afternoon tea.
Families can also see Britain’s Got Talent star Mama G, who makes her Brick Lane Music Hall debut on 15 October with three storytelling performances centred on identity, acceptance and being yourself.
The season will bring wartime music hall back to the venue with There’ll Always Be An England, running from 4 to 6 November. Meanwhile, Rat Pack & Friends will bring songs associated with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr and Judy Garland to the stage from 24 to 26 September.
The programme also includes Carradine’s Cockney Sing-A-Long on 20 September, Vincent’s Variety Showcase from 18 to 19 October and the venue’s traditional Cockney Sing-Song from 17 to 19 September.
Vincent’s Variety Showcase will also travel outside London for the first time, with a performance at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester on 13 October under the title A Little of What You Fancy!
The autumn season comes as Brick Lane Music Hall prepares for its 35th anniversary in 2027. Alongside the new Sunday performances, the venue is launching a new website, refreshed branding and an updated ticketing system this autumn, as well as announcing new creative partnerships.
Founded by Vincent Hayes MBE in 1992, Brick Lane Music Hall describes itself as the UK’s only permanent venue dedicated exclusively to celebrating music hall year-round.
The venue has also picked up two recent accolades, winning the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2026 and Best Food and Drink at the Fringe Theatre Awards 2026.
