The New 4 Poofs and a Piano have risen like a Phoenix risen from the lashes….
Camp, irreverent, self-deprecating, high octane, naughty but fun all-round entertainment with original comedy songs, pop standards, dance, physical comedy and light-hearted banter. This new line-up of the fab four, with the legendary Bobby Crush on piano, the fabulous if somewhat jaded Graeme Clark and the gorgeous and talented Ian Lilley joining original member Big Dave Wickenden, will have everyone from students to the blue rinse brigade reaching for their Tena Ladies!
The idea for a New 4 Poofs and a Piano was conceived by Big Dave, by the light of a frosty mid-winter moon somewhere on the A120 on the way home from a gig in Essex.
Faced with the prospect of having to get a real job, Dave decided to take arms against a sea of troubles and to recast and relaunch the group with three brand new Poofs. But where to find three gay men who could sing and dance? What a dilemma! Dave had a plan! He casually started observing all his friends and acquaintances for signs of jazz hands or harmonising to Lady Gaga songs, and, contrary to rumours of a struggle to rival the casting of Scarlett O’Hara, potential Poofs started popping out all over.
First to join was the fabulously jaded Graeme Clark. Graeme had worked with Big Dave in panto in 1927 and had gone on to be a West End Wendy of some repute. More recently known for trolling the Brighton scene as the inimitable Connie Conway, Graeme promises to bring a notable level of butch pazazz to the New 4 Poofs…please don’t sue…
Next to join was the brilliant and gorgeous Ian Lilley. Ian is younger than the other Poofs…considerably younger…and cute….and talented…and young! This makes the other Poofs hate him a little bit already and we may decide to sell him to Angelina Jolie if he’s not nappy trained by July.
Last to join the group, and for a limited time only, was the legendary Bobby Crush whose fingers are so fast and light that he could vajazzle a ferret while playing Rachmaninov without the poor critter noticing a thing! Bobby is looking forward to a career change from cruising the high seas to cruising the Poofs’ audience.
These three poofkateers will join Big Dave, original member of the group famed for his one armed choreography, immutable smile and legendary dance moves that have made him an icon to all plus size gays in the central West Sussex area

CORPORATE AND PRIVATE ENTERTAINMENT
4 Poofs and a Piano have many years experience in the field of corporate entertainment and can tailor their performance to the client’s specific requirements. Some of the ideas below have consistently proved successful at many corporate and company events
Jonathan Ross style sing-ons: To award winners at an awards ceremony: Recreation of the Jonathan Ross show for the event with introductions for award winners and guest speakers. This is often in combination with a short cabaret at the end of the event or opening and closing numbers.
Cabaret style performances: usually a collection of popular and/or comedy songs, perfect as part of corporate dinner event. Here the focus is more on the music and a more robust comedy interaction with the audience.
Dance sets for a party: Getting the audience dancing to our collection of party favourites taken from our album. Usually for a later performance, either with or in place of a DJ.
Interactive performances : We get the audience involved as part of the evening’s proceedings: This can be as diverse as holding mock auditions for a new member of the group (we’ve found that people love seeing the boss on stage as a ‘Poof for the night’), to writing a bespoke song for the company with suggestions and contributions taken from the audience members, to full on dance and vocal workshops that help to break down inhibitions, build self-confidence, strengthen team work and group solidarity.
TV
Introductions for your hosts and/or guests: Recreate the Friday Night With Jonathan Ross experience with the genre defining house band.
Cover versions of popular songs and standards: Pop classics from all eras and all genres, and a must for your favourite camp classics.
FESTIVALS & PRIDE EVENTS
Robust cabaret set with some (tracked up) comedy songs, pop standards and dance tracks. We have performed 6 times in the Cabaret Tent at Glastonbury and have also performed at numerous Pride events up and down the country and are regulars at Manchester Pride
