The Uke Off is back at the RVT with more nail-biting ukulele sparring! Hosted by uke-toting cabaret diva Tricity Vogue, the Uke Off returns for round four, to pit uke-player against uke-player once more in a battle of wits, musicianship, inventiveness and good old-fashioned star quality.
Uke Off rounds this time include regular favourite the Geek Off (geekiest, nerdiest or most boffinous song), and new categories the Turn Off (for most unsexy song), the Blast Off (for angriest song or outer-spaciest song), and the Pair Off (for duets!) Prizes will be appropriately weird and wonderful.
Reigning Uke Off Champion Wendy Solomon returns as a judge, along with jazz diva Gill Manly, Ukelele Cabarets sound maestro Nick Browning, and the Godfather of the Ukulele, Rufus Yells. Ill be luring as many judges as possible onto the stage to perform for us too.
And the whole glorious night will be wrapped up with a no-holds-barred singalong for contestants and audience alike. Beg, borrow or steal a ukulele, and join the fray.
Contestants should apply to Tricity by email to ukeoff@tricityvogue.com stating which category/categories you want to enter. Your entry can be solo or ensemble, original or cover-version, ukulele only or a mixed instrumental line-up. The only rule is that there must be at least one ukulele in it. Apart from that, anything goes.
Doors 7pm
Showtime 8pm
Tickets £5.00
£7.00 on the door, or £3.00 with a Ukulele.
