The Establishment (club)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Establishment was a short-lived London nightclub which opened in October 1961, at 18 Greek Street, Soho and was famous in retrospect for satire although actually more notable at the time for jazz and other events. It was founded by Peter Cook and Nicholas Luard, both of whom were also important in the history of the magazine Private Eye.
The venue allowed the opportunity for budding comedians and satirists to perform new material in a nightclub setting. Some who appeared included Lenny Bruce, Barry Humphries (as Edna Everage), and musically, The Dudley Moore Trio.
A second club was established in New York, however both folded after only a few years.
