Unforgettable live entertainment for venues, brands and events

Revudeville Productions is a London-based live entertainment company creating cabaret, circus, variety and drag performances for venues, brands, private celebrations and festivals. Founded by Jari Laakso, former director of the Windmill Soho, Revudeville designs bespoke entertainment and produces its own touring variety shows.

Revudeville was the name of the continuous variety revues staged at the Windmill Theatre in Soho from 1932 — the shows behind the theatre’s famous motto, “We Never Closed.” Jari Laakso directed the modern Windmill Soho, and named the company in tribute to that heritage.

Revudeville is led by Creative Director Jari Laakso, who has over a decade of experience in cabaret, circus and variety — including directing the Windmill Soho from its 2021 relaunch and working as associate creative on the Olivier Award-winning La Soirée.

Cabaret, circus, variety, drag, burlesque, live vocalists, aerialists, magicians, showgirls and speciality acts — as single performances, full productions, or entertainment woven through an event. Everything is designed around the specific event, venue and audience.

The earlier the better, especially for peak seasons like Christmas and summer — but we’ve delivered brilliant events on short timelines too. If your date is close, ask anyway.

Every project is priced individually, because every one is designed from scratch. A single performer for a dinner party and a full touring production are very different undertakings — tell us what you’re planning and we’ll give you an honest picture of what’s possible for your budget.

Tell us about your event — the occasion, the venue and the feeling you’re after. We’ll come back with ideas and a quote. From there, we handle everything: casting, direction, logistics and the running of the performance on the day.
