Every month, juggler and comedian Mat Ricardo will be hosting a variety show live from the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club in East London, where the best of the best from the worlds of cabaret, variety, comedy and circus do their thing. And every month, in the second half of that show, Mat will sit down with an old hand - a master of their craft - a headliner - or just someone he particularly loves - and chat to them about their life, career and influences. It's a glimpse behind the curtain to see a little of what goes into a life dedicated to making an audience laugh, clap or gasp. It's Mat Ricardo's London Varieties!
