The Posh Club is a weekly social & showbiz event for swanky senior citizens, elegant elders & glamorous golden girls that ran regularly in 4 towns.

The Posh Club is for people aged 60+, tickets are £5 including all food, drink and entertainment

Showbiz sideshows include tap dancers, opera singers, comedians, london's finest flappers, acrobats, hula hoopers, black elvis, chinese elvis and white elvis, music hall starlets, soubrettes, ukelele bands, acapella troupes, the odd Rod Stewart impersonator and the finest ballet



 

Duckie have completed an Arts Council Funded Research Project in partnership with Queen Mary University of London to measure the impact of The Posh Club on older peoples’ health, engagement and wellbeing. We have been running the programme in association with local Doctors surgeries in Hackney and Crawley.  The findings will will be disseminated among stakeholders who are engaged with issues of ageing and how to age well including the NHS.

Alongside the club we also run PC*DC (Posh Club Dance Club), a participatory dance project for folks aged 60+ and ending in a performance at The Posh Club.  We've had 6 runs of this in Hackney and one in Crawley.

PC*DC is choreographed and directed by H and Azara
