Camp Bestival - our festi-holiday

CAMDEN CRAWL CHRISTMAS PARTY

FINAL FREE ENTRY ‘VARIETY’ GIG OF 2011 W/ ENGINE EARZ EXPERIMENT, DAN ANTOPOLSKI, TIERNAN DOUIEB AND URBAN NERDS DJs

The 4th and final 2011 edition of Camden Crawl’s VARIETY series doubles as the Camden Crawl CHRISTMAS PARTY! Back for a bumper edition, be prepared to have the night of your life.  With the first three events showing North London that the Crawl team know how to show us a good time, the Christmas edition will not disappoint.

Hats off to the ever brilliant Sniff The Glove DJS for creating mayhem with their ultimate classic rock dance fillers following an entertainingly ghoulish night of live music from the brilliant Fearless Vampire Killers and Acoda, comedy from genius prankster Ross Lee and an absurd pop quiz from Pet Supplies.

For the festive celebrations, our quiz partners in crime, the legendary Moshi Moshi Pop Quiz, open the night with  preposterous journey of questions and tomfoolery  immediately followed by the comedic talent of Tiernan Douieb and supreme surrealist  Dan Antopolski. Reading’s Engine Earz Experiment bring their amazing live show to the stage for a very special performance before the evening winds up with Camden Crawl veteran DJs  Rattus Rattus & Klose One of  Urban Nerds.

Line up: MOSHI MOSHI POP QUIZ – Independent label favourites Moshi Moshi Records return to host a special edition of their legendary pop quiz. Gape with awe at the odd bearded and incoherent compere and grimace at the shockingly stale prizes. www.moshimoshi.co.uk

TIERNAN DOUIEB – Back at Variety after a spectacular night compering at our launch event, Tiernan is described as a “professional comedian, qualified small person, honorary beard wearer, beverage heretic and action calligrapher!” Douieb’s friendly manner and fast paced gags have made him a highly sought after compere and act on the circuit.  www.tiernandouieb.co.uk

DAN ANTOPOLSKI - Dan Antopolski’s surreal won him the BBC New Comedy Award in 1998 as well as Perrier Award nomination in 2001. Dan has performed at the usual comedy clubs as well as international comedy festivals, with appearances at Montreal, Melbourne and New York. As an actor, Dan has starred in the BBC Two sci-fi spoof Hyperdrive as technical officer Jeffers and appeared in the Da Vinci Code movie as Jesus www.danantopolski.com

ENGINE EARZ EXPERIMENT - Best described as ‘Massive Attack for the dubstep generation;’ Engine Earz Experiment are winning an assorted army of fans from Rusko and Nitin Sawhney right through to Adam F and Liam Howlett. Prash’s varied musical passions; smashing what he sees as ‘glass divides between genres and ideologies’; fusing indigenous music from around the world with dubstep and elements of drum’n'bass, electronica and alternative rock. Prepare to be blown away. www.engine-earz.com

URBAN NERDS DJS – Known for hosting the best warehouse raves, house parties and underground nights, heavy London party starters Urban Nerds will be in charge of the decks for the night, spinning the best in dubstep, grime, electro, hip-hop, drum & bass, reggae and beyond. www.urban-nerds.com
