Vaudeville Court has a rich history. Between 1910 and 1960 the venue was called Finsbury Park Empire.
The Finsbury Park Empire was built by Frank Matcham for Moss Empires Ltd at a cost of 45,000 and opened on the 5th of September 1910 with a capacity of around 2000.
Being an entertainment site for nearly 50 years showcasing artists such as Max Miller, Charlie Chaplin and Arthur Askey and renowned for being the first theatre where the saw-the-woman-in-half magic act was performed.
The Theatre closed on the 7th of May 1960 and was demolished in 1965, to make room for the existing Vaudeville Court estate.
New voices and stories are waiting to be heard and told to the world. The area around Finsbury park is one of the most diverse in London and we are creating a channel for these voices to be broadcasted exclusively here on Vaudeville Court TV.
