From Friday 19 April 2013, we kick off our Talkaoke residency at The Shed – a striking new pop-up performance space on the Southbank, created by the National Theatre.

Aptly enough, the Shed’s inaugural production is called ‘Table,’ and we will be bringing our own table of chat to the Shed’s cafe-bar every Friday and Saturday night for the rest of April and most of May. We’ll be there from 6:45pm, so come down, grab a drink and get involved in the discussion.

The Shed will be showcasing a year long programme of experimental theatre and performance. We popped in the other night to see the play and sample the atmosphere. The Shed is a gorgeous structure, the bar has a great ambiance, and is attracting a different crowd than usually found at the National Theatre.  The play ain’t bad either. No seriously, Table is receiving some cracking reviews (see: Independent) and at £20 a pop, the tickets for the show won’t break the bank. Click here for booking info and tickets.

We like cheaper seats at the theatre and are looking forward to getting stuck in this weekend. But remember, Talkaoke is only as good as the people involved and best of all, our seats are free.

We look forward to seeing you there.

We spoke to an array of visitors to the museum over the course of the day. London was also a big topic on the table and what people thought of the city and its future, and whether residents thought of it as home.

On a cold March evening Talkaoke had it’s 44th studio session at The People Speak headquarters. Although a quiet gig there was definitely a strong discussion on how the media controls us, global branding, evil right wing corporations and democracy.
