8pm
People Show on Film

Including the much anticipated public screening of People Show 129: The Jossers, a short film created especially for the 50th Year: 

Sidelined in the wings of a theatre in the back streets of Amsterdam, four old men try to save their dying cabaret act. Broken, ill and dejected they try to copy younger, more successful counterparts – with the poignant aim of reinventing their glory years. Funny, moving and beautifully bizarre, The Jossers is an examination of what happens when the laughs stop and the audience goes quiet.

As well as the London premiere of The Jossers, the film night, hosted by People Show artists, will see a curated selection of rarely seen film footage of People Show through the years including the 1983 Channel 4 production Starwashed and a documentary about the company entirely in Japanese from 1973.
