Flamboyant performer Hersh Dagmarr will bring his unique blend of Kabarett and Chanson to London’s Crazy Coqs on Sunday, February 1, at 7:30 PM for Dagmarr’s Dimanche: Songs from the Cinema.

As the restless ghost of vintage entertainment, Hersh Dagmarr returns to Crazy Coqs alongside his regular pianist and arranger, Frau Karen Newby. This recurring Sunday rendezvous promises an enchanting evening of silver screen seduction—perfect for early Valentine’s Day indulgence.

Audiences can expect to be immersed in the smoky allure of Dietrich and the brazen wit of Mae West as Hersh conjures the golden age of Hollywood, when femmes fatales were iconic, and glamour was a full-time pursuit. The repertoire will include legendary numbers from films such as Gilda, Cabaret, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Casablanca, Laura, and more, with a touch of Marlene Dietrich that will make you nostalgic for pencilled eyebrows and indoor smoking.

Dagmarr’s Dimanche will explore the thrilling aspects of vintage Hollywood: the glitz, the romance, the powerful vocals, dramatic entrances (one for each song), torch songs, champagne, swooning, and much more.

Hersh Dagmarr is a London-based French singer-songwriter and cabaret artist. His artistic inspiration stems from the grand German kabarett era, infused with his experiences as a jazz singer and a French club kid from the noughties, resulting in a unique blend of expressionist and theatrical cabaret.

Karen Newby is an accomplished and versatile pianist-vocalist with an ever-expanding repertoire that spans various styles. With classical training and flawless piano technique, she excels at jazz standards, show tunes, and popular hits. Karen performs in prestigious venues around the world, and her skills as an accompanist are equally effective in open-mic sessions, impromptu guest performances, opera, classical recitals, auditions, and ballet classes.

Don’t miss the acclaimed cabaret artist Hersh Dagmarr as he presents Dagmarr’s Dimanche: Songs from the Cinema.

Dagmarr’s Dimanche is on Sunday 1 February 2026, 7:30pm, at Crazy Coqs, 21 Sherwood St, London W1F 7ED, United Kingdom.
