Bearpit Karaoke at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens

Back from Berlin’s famous Mauerpark. Bearpit Karaoke returns to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens this summer. If you’ve been to Berlin you might be a Bearpit aficionado of Joe Hatchiban’s Bearpit Karaoke and know this weekly fixture in the world-famous Mauerpark.

Joe Hatchiban has been happily helping people unleash their inner Rampensau (performer) all over Berlin since 2009. Originally one man’s mission to seek attention, his weekly Bearpit sessions are now a landmark on the city’s cultural scene. Now with the help of Vauxhall One and Lambeth Council he’s coming back to London, a city rightly renowned for the winning charm and unsurpassed quality of its karaoke singers.

So if you love singing, love the outdoors and love summer then get yourselves down to Vauxhall and bring your best Rhianna, Michael Jackson and Meatloaf with you!

Here’s the Bearpit Karaoke Show in a few simple steps –

1. Coax a random stranger into singing karaoke in a park. 

2. See if a crowd gathers and hangs about to watch. 

3. If one does, then try to coax somebody from said crowd into singing karaoke too.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the batteries go dead. Easy, right?

So head to Vauxhall this summer and… go on! Sing one!
