ABOUT
Underbling & Vow are Londoners, Performers & Merry Makers. Meeting 3 years ago in the burgeoning London cabaret scene they shared a love of theatre, comedy and music and a desire to recreate the singing saloons of London before the invention of TV, Radio and Recorded music, when everyone simply sang the popular songs of the day, Underbling & Vow believe that nothing has changed and that popular music is there to be sung by everyone.
Underbling gained experience and training at The London Bubble Theatre Company, De Montfort University and the open mic jazz singing scene, and from growing up in a Music Hall obsessed family. Vow trained at the London International School of Performing Arts, The London Bubble Theatre Company and The Poor School and is an accomplished actor, director and theatre maker.
