ASW Events Team

ASMALLWORLD invites members and guests to enjoy exclusive access to step inside the story that seduced and scandalised 1890s Paris: Le Chat Noir, the world’s first cabaret club.

Inside, you will experience the outrageous true story of the original 19th-century Parisian cabaret, while enjoying a three-course banquet of decadent Parisian haute cuisine.

Prepare for a night of mime, magic, song, comedy, and dance, a heady mix of spectacle, art, and chaos, designed to awaken your inner bohemian.

Live music underpins every act, performed by a virtuoso troupe of Parisian musicians moving between the tables.

This is your invitation to the moment when cabaret was born, a global phenomenon amid the art, absinthe, and anarchy of Belle Époque Montmartre.
