QT: Pub in Covent Garden, London

QT is an art venue in WC2B, and it has a playful streak. Its programming leans towards performance, with speakeasy-style nights where the room matters as much as the act. Burlesque, cabaret and other live, theatrical formats fit well here. They reward an audience that is willing to be part of the evening rather than watch from a distance. If you like art with a bit of showmanship, this is worth knowing about. Expect a mixed crowd. Some people come for the format they already love, and others come curious and stay for the whole night. Go in without a fixed idea of what you want.
