One of London's best kept secrets is the burlesque beauties that occasionally appear during the acts at CellarDoor, Covent Garden's cult cabaret club. 

Didi DerriereMiss Sibyl VaneFou Fou KaboomCoco NobelMiss Kayleigh JaneBelle de BeauvoirAmy-Lou Black & Lady Kitty Noir will be some of the starlets taking turns on their night to perform a couple of strips alongside one of London's top cabaret acts, including Bouncy's Boudoir, the Dandy Prince of Cabaret, Dusty Limits and camp dickie-bowed Prince of Pop, Mark T Cox.

There is NO door charge at CellarDoor - but if you want to guarantee entry there are a limited number of VIP tickets available each evening..

VIP ticket holders skip any queue and receive a complimentary glass of bubbles/beer, a line of white/black snuff and the best available spot in the house.

CellarDoor was one of London's original cabaret & burlesque speakeasys and has a capacity of just 60. The word cabaret comes from the Old Dutch, meaning small room, and if you've never seen cabaret in such an intimate setting you've not really experienced it at all. The bar was originally an underground toilet outside the Lyceum, reputedly the haunt of Gielgud, Orton, Crisp & Wilde in its previous incarnation as the most infamous cottage in Theatreland - which is why we still serve Oscar's favourite tipple, the sublime Perrier-Jouet champagne.

CellarDoor is open 'til 1am every night with acts hitting the stage around 9pm. We've held a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for over a decade and are featured in Time Out's list of the best bars in Covent Garden.

A 10% service charge is added to all bills on the night (and shared exclusively amongst the bar staff). As our acts cannot survive on your applause & plaudits alone, a further 10% Live Not Dead artistes' gratuity is added to all bills after 9pm.
