Venue: Hoxton Hall have given ToMax the wonderful balconied theatre in return for a reduced fee and a workshop on self-promotion in the arts which Max and Tom are going to arrange for their youth program. Hoxton Hall are interested in this in particular because of the history of the space and their cabaret agenda.

Kit Hesketh-Harvey is currently relaunching his act with musical talent James McConnel. He is speaking about the history of cabaret in general, and will be throwing in a couple of songs to make his points.

Dusty Limits will talk about the possibilities and limits for cabaret as an art-form - some of the generic & formal characteristics - while he is also delving into the political history of cabaret.

Mat Ricardo will talk about the history of his juggling/comedy from a personal biographical standpoint and discuss how that fits into the history of the variety arts in cabaret.

ToMax Talks is an eight-month old enterprise set up by Tom Clark and Max Mallows (24 & 23). We arrange unique evenings of talks: stimulating, whacky, fun affairs which are not lectures and which are pitched at the young. The idea is to revive the art of story-telling, to hear wit and wisdom and to get out and meet people. There is always a bar and a fluid feel. The evenings are intimate - audience of 100, so you can easily meet the speakers if you so wish.

Inspiring talks by accomplished speakers in a fun setting. Debate, discussion, stories and a drink or two.
