SAVE THE DATE! Alistair McGowan at the 1901 Arts Club
We’re excited to announce two dates with comic, actor, writer and pianist Alistair McGowan at the convivial 1901 Arts Club.
Wednesday 22 January 2025
Alistair McGowan : 3-in-1
Poetry, comedy and piano
Alistair brings you the comedy and impressions for which he is known and loved, plays short piano favourites by Chopin, Grieg, Elgar, Satie and others, and reads from his newly-published poetry collection. Expect beautiful music, poignant poems and spot-on mimicry. It’s three great shows in one!

Alistair McGowan : “Erik Satie : his words, his music, your ears”
Using Satie’s own surreally comedic writings and extracts from his letters as well as playing many of his best known short piano works, Alistair tells the story of Erik Satie’s bizarre, brave and lonely life. With vocal contributions from soprano, Charlotte Page. “A perfect Edinburgh show” (Stephanie Merritt, The Observer)
Tickets will be on sale soon. If you haven’t yet discovered the 1901 Arts Club, an intimate salon-style small venue close to Waterloo station, now is the time to do so! (See our listings for other concerts at this exquisite gem of a venue).
