53 year old fella? Blimey! We're an east-end party-house, love!
Tucked away off the beaten track (off Bethnal Green Road), just east of Shoreditch in London - that's where we are. Since 1895 we've been a real east-end Workingmen's Club and we like to HAVE A GOOD TIME! Infact we hold regular social events each week. Some racey, others cultural and refined - but mostly wild, unhinged good-times.

TUESDAY 24TH NOVEMBER - CLOSE-UP FILM PROGRAM at THE WORKING MENS
Ticket: £7/£5 FOR CLOSE-UP MEMBERS
DOORS 7:45PM / FILM 8:00PM Histories of the Avant-Garde Part II - Guy Sherwin in Person - Short Film Series + Man With Mirror
Close-Up and The Dog Movement present
a rare chance to see a large group of Guy Sherwin’s interconnected 3 minute films as well as the wonderfully subtle Expanded Cinema performance of Man With Mirror followed by a Q&A with the artist.
GUY SHERWIN IN PERSON - SHORT FILM SERIES
Parts from the Short Film Series will include:
Eye, Bicycle, Metronome, Portrait with Parents, Window, Barn, Cat, Chimney, Maya, and Tree Reflection.
All 3 mins B&W 16mm silent
Followed by MAN WITH MIRROR
10 mins colour S-8mm
- PROGRAMME NOTES - SHORT FILM SERIES
This ongoing and incredibly diverse series examines themes of Landscape, Auto-Biography, Portraiture and act as exquisite, controlled studies of light as well as demonstrations of a wide range of filming techniques. The films are often hand printed which allows the artist to have full control over the contrast, textures and light levels in each film. An enduring concern with the subtle relationship between two fundamental elements of film, Time and Light underlies his work and Sherwin brings his subject matter into conjunction with a particular filming procedure and allows them to feed off each other with a beautiful playfulness and formal rigour. '100′ reels of epiphanies, time-lapse studies, ordinary objects and scenes rendered strange and ambiguous’.
— Michael O’ Pray ‘Sherwin’s hallmark is the direct concentrated image which fully exploits the tonal range of black and white stock. This control is not at all rigid, since its purpose is to capture in the shot a certain kind of freedom and chance in the visible world’.
— A.L. Rees
MAN WITH MIRROR
The filmmaker’s live interaction with his on-screen image which is projected onto a hand-held mirrored screen.The screen is white one side and mirrored the other, and is used by the performer to either ‘catch’ the projected image, or reflect it around the cinema space. The image on film is of the same activity happening in a sunlit landscape. Visual echoes are set up between the live event and the recorded one. You can view a documentation of this performance at: www.luxvideo.org/media/clips/guy_sherwin/man_with_mirror.html
Guy Sherwin studied painting at Chelsea School of Art in the late 1960s. His subsequent film works often use serial forms and live elements, and engage with light and time as fundamental to cinema.
Recent works include performances that use multiple projectors and optical sound, and installations made for an exhibition space.

A Third Millenium Celebration Of Physical Enlightenment and Dancefloor Exaltation!
Attention clubland!
Is your life spiritually devoid? Are the same old clubs with the same old nights about to push you over the edge and send you spiralling downwards into a never-ending abyss of despair?
We are proud to champion a new direction for those searching for a path toward a higher plain.
The creative minds at Hot Breath are proud to announce that they are returning for
Dance Party 3000: A Third Millenium Celebration Of Physical Enlightenment and Dancefloor Exaltation!
It's live interactive entertainment for the the pertually undertained!

******************************************** LIDL RICHARD (LIVE)
******************************************** DUOTARD (INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO DANCE MASTERCLASS)
******************************************** CARDIOKE (CALORIE BURNING SING-A-LONG)
******************************************** THE SPINNING GENRE WHEEL (NOW FEATURING QUEUE-OKE)
********************************************
And here's what shall be revealed to the faithful and devoted!
First off we are proud to announce the return of Les Doodis and the Divine Light Electro Gospel Revue!
They will be bringing their CRAZY PRAISE and 21st century revival raving to where it is so desperately needed, the den of depravity that is the Bethnal Green Working Mens Club.
Come and feel the power of the DIVINE LIGHT and have your soul cleansed by the power of Les Doodis! Testify!!
Also on the bill is Lidl Richard
Hot Breath's favourite electro rock-a-billy screamer. Lidl has saved up his wages and bought himself a new keyboard and is dying to unleash it!! Expect a brand new set of synth driven decontructed rock 'n' roll from a man addicted to sugar and shakin'!
Next up it's the triumphant return of Duotard!
Back in May, tragedy struck when Duotard were performing at the opening of the new Matalan in Milton Keynes and a nasty tumble resulted in a fractured ankle. After 6 months of intensive rehab and several operations, we can at last say that Duotard has healed and is ready to reclaim the stage! And for those who still have aspirations to enter the world of semi-professional amateur dance, they will be performing their famous instructional dance DVD for you to follow along to! Free your mind, body and soul and learn to dance the Duotard way!!
Next up we are proud to bring the return of Cardioke!
Physical participaction, spiritual cleansing through song and embracing the ridiculous have always been key tenets of the Hot Breath doctrine and Cardioke harnesses all these powers in one mighty force.
You have truly not lived until you have sung hi n-r-g karaoke on exercise equipment!
And to give you an added bit of encouragement, we are offerring a fabulous prize for whoever burns the most calories during Cardioke! Towels and deoderant will be supplied free of charge.
See it in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP5kLvjUWq0
And to finish off the party right, the dancefloor will be handed over to our
Dance Party 3000 Spinning Genre Wheel!
Don't like to do the reggae??? Terrified of a slow dance because you forgot your breath mints?
Then wait for the buzzer and see what comes up next!
You'll get the chance to show off your moves to over 30 different styles of music in 2 hours including disco, heavy metal, country and western, classical and of course good ol' rock and roll! And for those still seeking their moment in the spotlight,
we've added QUEUE-OKE to the wheel! It's a new karaoke concept which combines 2 great British passtimes,
embarrassing behaviour AND standing in line!
We're giving you 5 hours of non stop entertainment to restore your faith in going out for the bargain price of five English pounds. Crazy praise indeed!
