DescriptionAll four core members of the seminal group Alternative Cabaret in conversation: Tony Allen, Pauline Melville, Andy de la Tour and Jim Barclay.
Along with the Comedy Store and the Comic Strip, Alternative Cabaret was one of the three pillars on which a whole new comedy movement was built, describing itself as ‘a collective of comedians, musicians and new wave cabaret performers who have banded together to present non-racist, non-sexist entertainment which undoubtedly will precipitate the downfall of capitalism and bring an end to injustice and tyranny wherever it rears its ugly head!’
