This Thursday, 16th November don’t miss 2016 Musical Comedy Award winners Four Femmes on the Thames performing at The Spiegeltent in Leicester Square, this winter warmer promises to be an evening of high-energy, hilarious comedy songs with live music from their band, The Hommes.

“Such a splendid concoction… They write and sing eyebrow-raising songs on risque subjects and deserve to prove to a bigger audience that comedy and music really can combine” LONDONIST

The Four Femmes are known for their original comedy songs based on their lives, London, dating, feminism and sexual adventures in the capital. They combine storytelling and comedy to spellbinding effect, four larger than life personalities coming together for one fabulous party! Stephen Fry said: “The glamorous ladies of Four Femmes capture the tear-inducing potential of a trip up The Shard quite beautifully”

The Four Femmes trained together for three years at the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. They decided to put together a four part harmony group for a one off show in 2011, which later turned into regular shows with their band, The Hommes. The girls are professional actresses and enjoy juggling between performing in plays and creating shows for the Femmes.

Catch the Four Femms at The Spiegeltent, Christmas in Leicester Square, 16th November. For tickets and more information call 03333 444167 or visit www.christmasinleicestersquare.com
