Britain's What's On Event Guide
An Evening With Nana Funk at Crazy Coqs
“Nana’s comedic styling evokes the warm-hearted but deadly-sharp observational style of Victoria Wood.” North West End
The time has come for Nana to get intimate. She’s sick of the stadium life and is now touring to smaller scale venues so she can get up close and personal with her army of fans. She’s got a bee in her bonnet and wants you to get on it. This is no teatime with your granny, this is An Evening With Nana Funk!
An hour-long cabaret, its creation supported by Everyman and Playhouse New Works, combines songs and parodies, storytelling and improvised song generated from audience discussion. The songs are accompanied either by Nana Funk herself on ukulele, or by pianist and percussionist, Val (Nana’s trusty side kick).
The audience are taken on a hilarious and emotional musical rollercoaster as Nana challenges ageism and how aged/aging people are portrayed in society. From delicate ballads to 90’s dance all the way to full on ROCK, Nana gives her not so subtle opinions on what it means to be “age appropriate”.
Nana Funk is a musical theatre singer songwriter who shows that being awesome transcends age. Show creator Angie Waller has been entertaining audiences as Nana Funk since 2013 and brings together song, script, improvisation and clowning to create her own versatile and unique style.
The performance takes place at the iconic Crazy Coqs in the heart of Soho.
