The Black Sea Gentlemen have come a long way since they exploded onto the British comedy circuit in 2006, earning themselves a stack of 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe. They have been travelling the globe, packing out theatres from Budapest to the Sydney Opera House and ringmaster Mikelangelo has toured the world as part of the Olivier-award winning cabaret show La Clique.

After a long wait they have finally returned to London and from the 2nd-12th September they will be playing songs from their third album, Dead Men Tell A Thousand Tales, at the Bloomsbury Theatre.

It is the unique quality of their act that makes the show so enjoyable; the Gentlemen have been described as gypsy rock with an eastern-European flavour but there is a lot more cabaret to it than just dark, Balkan-edged songs. It is a sort of macabre 'Kabaret Noir' with tales of taxidermy, sodomy and death and a cast of gargoyles, demons, dancing skeletons and doomed sailors.

Whether it's Guido Libido the legend of Balkan Western cinema regaling you with some chilling stories or the baritone Mikelangelo serenading the ladies, each of the Gentlemen has their own character and musical talent so there's never a dull moment.
