The first time I tried to see a friend’s show at The Blue Elephant I got terribly lost and terribly upset. The second time I was successful and was pretty darn impressed. It was early in my latest residency here in London and I was quite excited by the existence of these café-theatres that seemed to appear in the back corners and top levels of pubs across town. In hindsight I’m not so sure. But it beats nothing, and London could use a good deal more grassroots culture, if you ask me. So bring it on, Blue Elephant.

This is a lovely little fringe theatreit can bit a bit tricky to find if you don’t know where to look, but is worth the looking once you get there! It is tiny and itamate, and although I am slightly biased as I used to work for the youth theatre here, they do a great variety of stuff. From dance, to new writing, to comedians trying out material beefore going to the Edinbugh festival, there is something for everyone, and its definately worth having a look on thier website for whats on and coming up. Also if you have kids thier youth theatre on a Saturday is first class.!!

The Blue Elephant Theatre is a vibrant arts venue in camberwell, aiming to nurture new and emerging artists across all art-forms. The varied programme includes dance, comedy, music, film and visual art alongside all forms of theatre from new writing to classics — both British and international — & both scripted and devised. Most programmes are free but you will have to book beforehand to reserve a seat, however some programmes do cost, but it won’t break the bank(£12MAX). A great theatre fresh form the heart of south east london.
