Another absolutely packed Offline headlined by ace comic Stewart Lee with Darren Hayman, James Harries, Catherine Anne Davies and more.


Vic gets the Cabaret Hour going.

DJs LD Rudeboy and Maggot.




Despite flying directly in from Prague, James Harries put in a powerful, energetic and emotive set.




Crowd.






We were honoured and privileged to have the legendary Stewart Lee come down to Brixton for a set. He didn't disappoint the massive crowd that turned up!










Stewart's joke about sardines, oil and Tom O'Connor was a gem.








Stewart Lee and giraffe on head.




On the patio outside.




Drinking outside.




Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee featuring Hefner front man Darren Heyman lay down an infectious bluegrass set.

Any band that does a cover of a Wreckless Eric song is alright in my book!

DARREN HAYMAN
London's "laureate of sexual dysfunction, discomfort, and dog-eared under-achievement" the ex-Hefner man will be rocking Offline with his ukulele and bluegrass band, Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee.

CATHERINE ANNE DAVIES
"If Kate Bush died and went to hell, she might sound like London gothic folk chanteuse Catherine Anne Davies.
