Jethro – Too Late To Grow Up
25 January 7:30 PM
After 35 years in the business, Jethro still packs theatres up and down the country. Still as mischievous as he was as a child we can only hope this man never grows. If you want to laugh until it hurts, look no further than this legendary comedian. Read more about this event … or
Milton Jones - Lion Whisperer
26 January 7:30 PM
Milton Jones – you know, the weird bloke with the shirts from Mock the Week, as well as star of The Michael McIntyre Roadshow, and the voice of eight series for Radio 4 (including The Very World of Milton Jones and Another Case of Milton Jones) and all sorts of other radio and telly as well? Awards too? Well it’s his new show with new stuff, not in his last show. YouTube him or something … Read more about this event … or
Barry Cryer - Still Alive
08 February 7:30 PM
With Colin Sell on the piano
Barry Cryer presents Still Alive – and he is! In a completely new, organically grown show, old Baz recalls, reminisces, recounts and other words beginning with ‘R’, on a trip down Memory Lane, pausing only for tea and macaroons at the Stannah Stairlift Café.
What memories – if only he can remember them. Jokes, songs, stories and, on certain nights, Pole vaulting (if his friend Vaclev from Warsaw turns up).
Currently 72? a third of his life has already passed and he invites you to join him in a decorous orgy of nostalgia.
This show is proactive! The audience can join in by placing a topic in Barry’s Bucket before the start of the show which will enable Barry to demonstrate his ability to tell a joke or anecdote about any subject on earth. Read more about this event … or
Withering Looks
09 February 7:30 PM
LipService, Britain’s favourite literary lunatics, are 25 this season!
As part of their celebrations, Maggie Fox and Sue Ryding reprise their cult Bronte spoof Withering Looks.
They could hardly turn down this opportunity to dust off their crinolines, wear flattering bonnets and sit at rained-lashed windows in a pale and decorative manner.
Withering Looks takes an ‘authentic’ look at the lives and works of the Bronte sisters – well, two of them actually, Anne’s just popped out for a cup of sugar. Peopled with many of the characters we know and love, and some quite frankly that LipService have made up, Withering Looks is an irreverent theatrical treat to savour. Read more about this event … or
