JOHN SHUTTLEWORTH’S BACK!
‘John Shuttleworth’s Back’… is giving him trouble.
Years of strenuous DIY, not to mention playing his organ whilst perched upon a multi pack of Diet Sprite with no lumber support, has taken its toll.
But – ever the trouper – John returns to regale audiences with an evening of his classic songs (plus new ones and hilarious ‘back’ stories), pausing only to reapply his deep heat rub!
Born with Poland Syndrome making him lopsided with a misshapen hand. Following life changing surgery he now has toes for fingers on his left hand and in this unflinchingly honest show he examines body image, mental health and being disabled in an image-obsessed world.
An hour of anarchic storytelling and acidic punchlines exploring how he has learnt to roll with the hand life dealt him and draw humour from what we are told is humourless.
“Heart-wrenchingly moving and unquestionably funny…I defy anyone not to be enthralled ” Evening Standard
Nathaniel can’t seem to forget his. To be fair, he has had it playing on repeat for the last 14 years. Now he’s living his best queer life, brunching on pills whilst Googling kangaroo vaginas, ancient condoms and human cesspits on a weekday morning… or is he?
Queer artist Nathaniel Hall presents a funny and frank one-man show about attempting to staying positive in a negative world.
The multi-award winning physical comedy duo bring a brand new hour of pure joy and anarchic buffoonery ‘brimming with wit and imagination’ ***** (TVBomb). Join these dazzling idiots for (probably) The Greatest Show on Earth.
“Following in the hallowed tradition of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr Bean” (Broadway Baby), The Kagools: Cirque De Kagool is a physical comedy show featuring two silent and strange, but friendly, characters. The Kagools live both in this realm (live on stage) and in an alternate reality (via an on-stage screen), which they effortlessly interact with to hilarious effect. Through mimed sketches, audience participation and using interactive multimedia, you’ll follow them on their ridiculous adventures. The show is universally appealing as the entire story is told physically, and as such is suitable for speakers of all languages and to young and old alike.

Lupe Lu & Stewy Stu return to present a hilarious evening of eclectic entertainment in the guise of a live radio show, performed in front of you, the studio audience, in the Café Bar.
Tonight’s show celebrates the 50th anniversary of the lunar landings in July 1969. The radio double act ponders the stories, the truth and the myths behind (and generally mock) what is arguably humankind’s greatest achievement. Relax and unwind with a mix of short stories, interviews, quizzes, news and sports bulletins, which are out of this world!
Come along, sit back, grab a beer, watch the sun go down and enjoy the show!
I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue’s much maligned pianist Colin Sell talks and sings at the keyboard in an evening of anecdotes about his life in comedy and music – on radio, in cabaret and on stage, working with the likes of Barry Cryer, Willie Rushton, Dora Bryan and Nicholas Parsons among many. The ear-bashing challenges of accompanying Jeremy Hardy induce our sympathy, plus he describes the gorgeous world of Samantha, and the versatile radio skills (including silence!) of Humphrey Lyttelton. He also performs his own and others’ comedy songs – Flanders and Swann, Paddy Roberts and George Formby – and for a grand finale shares his fascination with silent cinema by accompanying a Buster Keaton comedy film: all in an attempt to redeem his reputation!
Stand aside, Jack Dee!
