Stand Up Tragedy

TRAGEDY IN LEICESTER SQUARE

LONDON, UK, April 25, 2012 – Stand Up Tragedy is a new monthly part cabaret, part variety show at Leicester Square Theatre, 6 Leicester Place, London, WC2H 7BX. This new night features great performers who will make you sad, make you think and make you smile. Expect music, comedy, true stories and more, all playing up to the tragic form but not taking it too seriously.
