For eighteen years the Ukulele Cabaret has provided a stage for musicians, artists and performers from New York's underground ukulele scene.
Ted and Jason of Sonic Uke started the cabaret in May 2005 in the back of Julius bar in West Village. After outgrowing our stage there we settled in for a residency at legendary East Village gastropub Jimmy's 43, with cameos at Barbes, The Zipper Factory and Banjo Jim's.
In 2017, the Ukulele Cabaret moved to The Red Room at the KGB Bar -- an East Village speakeasy that in 1914 was the headquarters of Emma Goldman's Secret Society of anarchists.
We've now taken up residence at the Gowanus Dredger Boathouse, by the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.

Dolly, Dolly, and more Dolly! The 'Night of 1000 Dollys' brings a whole lotta heart, sass, and sequins to the Gowanus Dredgers Boathouse. Join us for this springtime tribute to the queen of country herself, Dolly Parton.
