WorkingMen's Cub

53 year old fella? Blimey! We're an east-end party-house, love!

Tucked away off the beaten track (off Bethnal Green Road), just east of Shoreditch in London - that's where we are. Since 1953 we've been a real east-end Workingmen's Club and we like to HAVE A GOOD TIME! Infact we hold regular social events each week. Some racey, others cultural and refined - but mostly wild, unhinged good-times.

Friday 24th October - HOT BREATH KARAOKE presents : I SING DEAD PEOPLE
9-2 / £5
Calling all karaoke bloodsuckers!!!
The month of October is finally upon us and for us at Hot Breath that means one thing. Once again the dead shall rise from their graves and torment the souls of the living with their disembodied voices!!
Yes, Hot Breath Karaoke is proud to present I Sing Dead People - a Corpse Grinding Karaoke Fright Fest We are bringing all of our favourite dead pop stars back to life with a special rotting corpse karaoke set list!! We will be giving away FREE BROOZE to all the ghouls who grace the stage and a special prize for the best dressed celebrity corpse. Who could it be??? Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Ian Curtis, Peter Andre????
And also 6 lucky people will be chosen at random to take part in our all new Video Nasties Game Show Challenge!! Two teams will compete head to head for horrific prizes in our roller coaster ride through our VHS vault of horror. Persons with a weak constitution or those with an aversion to cannibalism, decapitation or unquenchable bloodlust should steer clear!!
And to prove that the world of horror themed interpretive dance encompasses more than just dancing to Thriller, spandex clad husband and wife dance troupe Duotard will be on hand with a very special danse macabre!! And to round it all out, the freakish Hot Breath Sound System will be rocking the graveyard with a dance party more terrifying than the wrap party of Ghost Dad.
So climb out yer grave, brush off the maggots and hobble on down and grab your 15 miutes of fame before it rots away.

The second event combines live music from ANTIGONE, whose new single ‘More than a Man’ has been filling floors everywhere, fresh from a club tour of Australia, Antigone is set to whip up HOT SEX ELECTRO with her great kink synth pop performance.
Fresh from remixing the likes of SAM SPARROW, BLONDIE and GROOVE ARMADA DJ Eazy joins Hot Sex for some electro disco mafia!
Holestar returns bringing the Radio Egypt
