⭐ LOLA FESTIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR UPSTAIRS AT THE GATEHOUSE ⭐
The inaugural LOLA* (London x Los Angeles) Festival has been announced.
Upstairs at the Gatehouse, in association with in-house company Chromolume and writer-performer Sandra Tsing Loh, announces the very first LOLA Festival: five days of new American comedy, cabaret, storytelling, and theatre-making, coming to the Highgate theatre, this September.
LOLA is a short, sharp comedy festival in London with the spirit of LA poured over it: works-in-progress, new writing, cabaret, storytelling, live masterclasses, and a run of you-had-to-be-there one-off events.
The varied programme runs from the free-wheeling to the star-studded, highlights include:
MADWOMEN OF THE WEST – Stockard Channing joins Brooke Adams and Melanie Mayron for the first ever ‘cocktail concert’ staging of Sandra Tsing Loh’s hit comedy. Julian Fleisher directs, and a surprise guest completes the company.
STORYTIME WITH BROOKE AND TONY – Brooke Adams and Tony Shalhoub, married 37 years, on Hollywood royalty, drunken behaviour, and the highs and lows of a showbusiness family.
GRIEF BACON PYJAMA PARTY – Melanie Mayron and Sandra Tsing Loh’s sold-out Los Angeles pyjama party transfers to London for the first time.
LOLA LIVE! – Comic cold readings, surprise performances, and audience participation from a mix of London and LA performers.
THEATRE LAB – Michael Kostroff makes his London stage debut with a four-session lab for theatre practitioners, opening with his cult AUDITION PSYCH masterclass.
LOLA Festival will take place at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London, running from 16th – 20th September 2026, with tickets on sale now.
