Beware Sinners, Judgement Day is upon us!
Yes, Father Frenchy is back for another ridiculous comedy show & nothing is off limits.
Some people believe that the world will end soon & God will judge how everyone lived. Why wait for what! Frenchy is ready to judge now, whether you’re ready or not.
Stocked full of new material, Frenchy promises one thing from his shows – laughs. And seats. And shoeys. Okay, he promises a few things.
Edgy, dark & absurd, Frenchy’s brand of comedy ain’t for everyone but that’s how comedy is supposed to be.
Frenchy’s shows are always an epic night but just be careful if you sit in the front row…

Cult classic horror movie Evil Dead 2 reinterpreted through the songs of Elvis.
Elvis Presley is the quintessential rock star icon. Bruce Campbell is the quintessential B-movie horror icon (and once appeared as Elvis in the soul-stealing mummy movie Bubba Ho-Tep). Rob Kemp is not an icon as far as he knows, but he does love Elvis and horror, and has been told that he bears a passing resemblance to Bruce Campbell.
The Elvis Dead started as a throwaway comment in a comedy greenroom and is the very definition of taking a joke too far. So don your sequinned jumpsuit, strap a camera to a greased-up two-by-four and sing your way through as much of the plot of Evil Dead 2 as you can in an hour.
The cult hit of Edinburgh Fringe, this multi-award-winning (and even multier-award-nominated) one man horror comedy mash-up, is a tribute concert to the ultimate in gruelling terror, and the King of Rock & Roll!
Why not join twenty somethings Sally, Nat and Kyle in this hilarious comedy as they develop a love for, and the people involved with, Northern Soul. What started as a College project has grown into a passion, but the dance steps are exhausting. Far beyond their home city of Hull our trio find excitement, purpose and the tribe they’ve been looking for. Now they can’t get enough; from Brid Spa to Stoke, from Chesterfield to the Tower Ballroom our young soulies are determined to keep the faith!
This is Northern Soul for a new generation, but with rising costs, unemployment, and small town blues, has anything really changed? Is this England 1973 or 2023? The pubs are closing, hospitality has gone, and strikes are everywhere; but when you’re out on the floor …
So spread the talc and grab your loafers, our trio are heading for a weekender!
From the writer of the legendary Bouncers…
It’ll never be over for us!
Brighten your weekend with three fantastic Laurel and Hardy silent film comedies, brought to life with live piano. In Duck Soup they pose as aristocrats and squat in a stately mansion. In Two Tars they’re sailors on shore leave, and in Big Business they try selling Christmas trees in sunny Los Angeles. Whatever these two get up to, they make a mess of it!
Part of Northern Silent Film Festival
Up ‘n’ Under” is an award-winning comedy from John Godber, which follows the story of a hopeless and unfit Hull pub team ‘The Wheatsheaf Arms’ in a Rugby League Sevens competition.
‘The Crooked Billet’ – a rival team – have been the most feared in Amateur Rugby League for the past ten years, however, the Wheatsheaf can only muster a side of four.
The hapless lads have to accept the help of a former professional coach, Arthur Hoyle, and an attractive fitness instructor, Hazel Scott, in their attempts to beat the odds and win an unlikely bet!
Presented by Park Street.
*This amateur production is presented by special arrangement with The John Godber Company.
