Behind the Brand: Peablossom – Corking Comedy Cabaret
Last week a friend of mine hosted a comedy evening for Childreach International, and if I’m honest when she told me all the acts were performing for charity I was a little sceptical. I now realise how utterly ridiculous that was as: a) all the acts were amazing, and b) one of the acts was comedy cabaret group PeaBlossom.

Nothing is so gentle as real strength.” – Frances de Sales “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” – Buddha In the seemingly everlasting battle of the sexes, it is all too often suggested and believed that males are the stronger of the two.

Electric Dog Brixton – Sustainable Sausage Sourcing
Electric Dog is a high quality hot dog joint based in the heart of Brixton Village. They’re open Thu, Fri and Sat evenings from 6:30-10:30pm. Priding themselves on sourcing the best quality meats for their range of artisan hot dogs, they searched for the best 100% British pork bratwurst sausage and the best German frankfurter.

The pork sausages are made by Native Breeds, one of the UK’s leading charcuterie producers, who source local, British, rare breed pigs. The sausages are smoked with…
