ABOUT THE BAVARD BAR

“Avoiding life’s questions to give you the answers”.

From the French verb meaning ‘to chat’, The Bavard Bar is a must-see show. Hosted by former lawyer turned MC, Tim B’vard, and supported by Piano-Man-Dan, every month three speakers share something they’re passionate about. Whether that be things found in second-hand books, fretless guitars, juggling, secret nuclear bunkers or forming an all female big band, the subjects are limitless and fascinating. And fundamentally real.

In the words of audience member Linda Jeffcoate, The Bavard Bar is a ‘truly inspirational and energising event’.

Mixed in with the night’s three ‘bavards’, the audience can participate, if they wish, in a variety of comedy based games. From a caption competition to the improv ‘KP Lite’ game, where the challenge is to make up a story based on six unseen images. Or the ‘Oojah Kappivvy’, where audience members try and bluff the audience into believing, or disbelieving, something they claim to have done. Plus the, often hilarious, ‘Make it Stop’, where audience members dance to a song only they can hear, for the audience to guess the song from their dance moves.

As audience member David Knight said following his night at The Bavard Bar, it “really is the most amazing event”.

Come along if you get the chance, it’s a fantastic night of fun, laughter, passion and intrigue. Who knows, perhaps you’ll be inspired to share your passion one day…

The Bavard Bar takes place at Eastbourne’s Towner on the 2nd Wednesday of every month, and St Leonard’s Kino-teatr on the 3rd Wednesday.

“You never know what you might hear. Or who you might meet.”
