The Double R Club, an evening of ‘damn fine’ lynchian cabaret and burlesque
Welcome to the Double R Club (est. 2009), an evening of mystery and nightmares played out to an otherworldly rock ‘n’ roll soundscape. WINNER: Best ongoing production, London Cabaret Awards 2012 & 2013
WINNER: Club/Event, Erotic Awards 2013
RUNNER UP: Best Compere, London Cabaret Awards 2012 & 2013
Expect an absurdist and darkly surreal cocktail of "Damn fine" Lynchian Cabaret, bolstered by twi
sted rock ‘n’ roll, slow sinister jazz and wailing junk-blues. Influenced by the world of maverick film director David Lynch, the Double R brings you an unparalleled evening of sex, smoke and strobe, from the finger-clicking jazz ambience of cult TV show Twin Peaks, to the bizarre monochrome machine world of Eraserhead; from the dark underbelly of Mulholland Drive, to the surreal small town madness of Blue Velvet. The Double R re-imagines these worlds and takes them further, to glamorously seedy nights both magical and debauched, frightening and perplexing, but always entertaining… See murdered prom queen burlesque, sinister re-workings of classic 50s tunes, cabaret "from another place", comedy, live music; all served with "Damn fine" cherry pie and a cup of coffee, "Black, like midnight on a moonless night..."

“This evening of mystery and nightmares inspired by the films of David Lynch is a dark and twisted treat, often groping into territory where other cabaret nights fear to tread.”
“the Double R Club is a terrifying yet addictive experience that will send you on a portentous rollercoaster and leave you begging for sweet mercy by the end! If you are looking for a frivolous, joyful evening then the Double R Club is not for you.”
“Lurid and ominous, The Double R Club has scarred the face of London variety since 2009 with a unique style of cabaret and burlesque inspired by the films of David Lynch. When the lights grow dim and the smoke machine kicks in at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, shameless humour and nightmarish performance come together in an irresistible symbiosis of shock and wonder.”
“Helmed by co-producer Benjamin Louche, this is a David Lynch-inspired variety experience that is certainly not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer their cabaret on the happy-clappy side of things.”
