Traditional music hall |
Swan Street Leeds LS1 6LW United Kingdom +44 113 243 0808 |
Originally home to the White Swan Pub in the 18th Century, City Varieties became a music hall in 1865 and remains to this day one of the few and best-maintained in Britain. In its heyday, performers such as Houdini and a pre-fame Charlie Chaplin graced its stage - today Ken Dodd and Joe Pasquale are more likely candidates. However, don't be put off - City Varieties plays host to a range of entertainment including cabaret, opera, musicals and, notably, it's a major venue in Leeds for stand-up comedians. Average prices range from around £6 to £12 depending on show, seat and time. Concessions are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
