The Club for Acts and Actors
Fully refurbished in 2019 this unique club with it’s equally unique history moves into the future!
Founded in 1897 as the Concert Artistes’ Association to help concert artistes experiencing hardship, the CAA is today a thriving private members’ club for entertainment professionals.
We are situated in the heart of London’s theatre-land. The club offers an ideal location to meet for a drink, a meal or a chat.
The atmosphere is a relaxed and friendly one. Weekly concerts by members are a regular feature of club life with regular social events throughout the year. The club is a frequent venue for rehearsals, auditions and workshops, providing a constant hum of activity throughout the week.
The CAA is proud of its heritage and warm welcome to performers and entertainers. Becoming a member is not about paying a subscription; it is about joining fellow performers, enjoying good company and comradeship. These are the core values of the Club for Acts and Actors.
Nor have we lost touch with our founding purpose. In addition to fostering friendships and professional advice, our Benevolent Fund continues to give practical and confidential support to members in need.

A personal message from our president Anita Dobson…
Hi Gang, you wonderful members of our Fabulous Club. It has been a long hard time for us all since Covid struck and our lives were turned upside down. It is with great sadness!
A number of members and precious friends have passed away during the current crisis either directly or indirectly as a result of this crisis. Some might have been of other causes but are nonetheless also listed here in our post “The Final Curtain.”
GLEN and MARGARET HAYES at 90!
CAA long time members and great contributors to the club Glen and his wife Margaret Hayes passed the 90 years young milestone recently. We were delighted to to honour them at the Monday tribute night on 27th September.
Update from Backstage Bites…
A big thank you to all who have supported our catering here at the CAA in our first full time month, it has been great to be back and serve so many members.
The September menu was extensive, a showcase of what we can offer, and a month later we have seen what dishes you like the most and which ones are not as popular.
As everyone will have seen almost daily in the news, there have been, and continue to be, severe food supply issues affecting both the availability and cost of many day-to-day food items.
Taking everything into consideration we are pleased to offer a new streamlined menu which will run from Monday 4th October until the Christmas closedown.
Thanks once again for your support and I look forward to seeing you all very soon.
