New variety show La Clique reopens the long defunct London Hippodrome this week, and judging by the notices so far received, it is doing it in rather fine style.
The show - for those of you unaccustomed to its charms - is a modern mix of circus, burlesque and vaudeville, with many of the performers having started life out as street artists.
So, Tabard was pleased to see that, despite making their West End debut in as prestigious a venue as the one-time home of Talk of the Town, the performers aren’t losing touch with their roots.
For, if you were to wander into Covent Garden the other day, as Tabard did, you might have stumbled across one of the show’s leading performers plying his trade for free in the piazza, just hours before that evening’s show was due to start. Maybe it’s some kind of live trailer.
