The place is very graceless with its cheap folding chairs, but what was most shocking is that 95% of the burlesque dancers they hire have terrible cellulite. It's like going to a classical concert and the soprano has a cold. What a turn-off! Not going back...
A really good night! I went with 5 friends from work and we had such a hoot. There are a lot of boobs but the comedy element worked well and you take it all in your stride! We got tickets for £5 on Groupon for the Wednesday night Burlesque show and it was great.

I went to Madame Jojo's last Friday with my boy and our mate, to celebrate his 20th birthday.
This was the first time any of us had experienced Burlesque or Cabaret and we all had a really good time. The House of Burlesque show (Shipwrecked) was funny, sexy and clever- I'd definitely recommend it to Burlesque virgins as the host and performers, while greatly embarrassing my boyfriend, were friendly full of teasing but not nasty banter, and made it clear that no one would be forced to do anything they wouldn't want to.
We bought our tickets on the door- £15 each for standing room only was a bit pricier than we wanted, but this did include free entry to the club afetrwards, and we managed to find a table in the end. The drinks were expensive for a group of broke students, I think at one point it was £18.50 for 2 double rums and cokes and a single gin and tonic, but this is to be expected in a Central London venue.
As we had wristbands garunteeing free entry to the club we decided to leave and get some food then return (Wok to Walk is practically next door), and the bouncers were fine with this.
Some people have mentioned that the toilets are a bit small- and this is completely true, but by the end of the night all the women were just squashing past each other and chatting so that was absolutely fine, and added to the friendly atmosphere of the place.
Overall, a wonderful first visit, but will only be returning on special occasions as my budget won't be able to deal with it for a while!
i recently went to the kitsch cabaret on a hen party and i must say it was excellent and very well put together and had good variety of acts. i had a excellent time and i would definitely recommend going there.
How anyone could possibly rate this rip-off joint more than one star is completely beyond me. Is the owner posting himself perhaps?
£50 a ticket to be squashed in a corner on makeshift stools arranged around a coffee table, with so many other parties also rammed in that it is impossible to see the stage unless standing up, is really not what I would call even acceptable value for money. One act performing could at least sing, the rest were tone deaf, and the costumes were shoddy in the extreme. Our 'canapes' failed to arrive, and the management were indifferent. This has to be the most overpriced, underwhelming night out in London. As mentioned in other reviews, when the 'show' finishes at 9.30, you have the option of staying on for whatever club night is on, but your seats will be whisked out from under you two minutes later for supposed health and safety reasons.
If you fancy being treated with utter disdain by bar staff, sitting in a scrum, listening to off-key 'entertainment' that you can't actually see, surrounded by hen parties kitted out in pink L-plates, and paying through the nose for the privilege, then this place is for you. Otherwise, for the sake of your own sanity, go somewhere else.
I think Madamejojos is amazing! i absolutly love the new look its been given and everytime i go there i never want to leave the staff are always friendly and helpful and on fridays and saterdays they bring in lots of cool peple all dressed up in vintage clothing this place is an absoloute gem and i hope it never changes.
I went on a hen night here in September 2010. Booked the tickets months ago really looking forward to it. £40 a ticket got us 11 seat squashed in a corner. We did not have food but that looked like a good option. The show started at 8pm and the men/women were pretty fab we were just getting into it and bought our third round of drinks when the whole night ended very abruptly at 9.30pm and we were rushed out - literally chairs were being removed from around us.
The staff were then rude asking us to leave as the venue then turns into a Jazz night at 10am and they needed to clear it - we were not allowed to take drinks with us. Then we were taken to a good club but about a 10 min walk away.
Feel like we have been a bit ripped of for a night that started off great.
