About The Water Rats
The Water Rats is a live music venue at 328 Grays Inn Road, Kings Cross, London, England. Until 1992, it was known as The Pindar of Wakefield and was famous for its regular all time comedy music hall entertainment provided by The Aba Daba Company. It was a haunt for West End Actors who needed somewhere to relax and be entertained after their shows. The beautiful theatre at the Pindar of Wakefield was refurbished when The Water Rats took over, with traditional comedy, music hall and revues continuing for many years well into the late 1990's.
