Jon Udry’s Variety Bungalow
Friday 20 & Saturday 21 February, 7:30pm
Age guide 16+
Originally created in 2020 to spark a little joy when the world felt uncertain and performers were out of work, Variety Bungalow returns with that same spirit – but this time, the artists are back, bold, and ready to join us live and light up the Circomedia stage.
Expect a night of high-quality cabaret, dazzling circus, a pinch of burlesque, and much more, all tied together by your host for the evening, Jon Udry. Relax and enjoy the show from cabaret-style seating with table service throughout the night.
“Jon Udry is sharp, quick witted and totally unique. I guarantee you won’t see another act like him.” – Bristol Underground Comedy
