CONFESSIONS OF A CLUB COMIC
Comedian, author, cultural icon and – most recently – idiot who agreed to be tortured on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, Shappi Khorsandi is a woman of many parts. But live comedy is where she’s in her element, and now – after her spell in the jungle – she sets out for the more welcoming destination of Hull.
A brand new hour of sharp-tongued gags, cultural observation and whatever else is in her easily distracted mind this time around. As heard on Radio 4, read in two warmly-received books, and seen sleeping in a hammock.

A feast for the senses, this evening of frills, frocks and fun is one not to be missed!

A comedy written by Peter Gordon in 1991, set in a suburban garden. While Alan attempts to tend his vegetable plot, his peace of mind is disturbed, not only by his impending fortieth birthday, but also by doubts about the fidelity of his wife, Claire.
The quiet of his garden initially provides some respite from his worries but this is soon disturbed by the ongoing squabbles of his neighbours, Jill and Dave. When a secret message falls into the wrong hands, a chain of events is set in motion which affects not only the two couples but also their friends, the well-meaning but inept Derek and the recently separated Sarah.
Alan’s concerns are temporarily eased by a surprise birthday party but the evening’s events only serve to throw the other relationships into turmoil, sowing the seeds of doubt for everybody!
Access to the theatre is via a ramp, wheelchair space in the auditorium can be reserved in advance by booking seats on 01482 812750
You couldn’t make it up; surely the German Comedy Ambassador Henning Wehn hasn’t bosched out yet another new show?
And what’s he still doing here anyway? Well, his lack of transferable skills is what keeps him here and his belief that practise makes perfect is what keeps him going.
This show is a much needed call to arms. Listen, everyone: stop pondering and hand-wringing. Instead get on your bike and put your face to the grindstone!
“As subtle as Schumacher on Battiston,” some bloke on Twitter.
“Die entgueltige Teilung Europas – das ist mein Auftrag,” Henning himself.
Henning Wehn: Get on with it is at Hull City Hall on 6th March, 2020. Book at the Hull City Hall box office, call 01482 300 306 or visit www.hulltheatres.co.uk to book online.

Anarchic art clown and Fringe First winner Jamie Wood brings his acclaimed show O No! to Hull Truck Theatre on Friday 1 March. One of the most talked about shows of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2015, O No! is a unique, magical experience that escapes definition and breaks boundaries.
In 1962 a woman met a man in a queue for a dance. She never wanted to get married. She was a freedom loving hippy who wanted to travel the world. Instead, she got pregnant. Sometimes she talks about regretting not carrying on dancing. In 1962 a woman called Yoko published 500 copies of a book of art instructions: poetic propositions that celebrate the power of the imagination. It inspired a man called John to leave his wife, his child and his band. To the outside world he seemed to have lost himself, or his mind.
Disarmingly confessional, playful and highly visual, the show invites the audience to delve into the complexity of human interactions while exploring the cost of intimacy. A psychedelic ride and a wonky homage to the woman damned for destroying the Beatles, O No! borrows Yoko Ono’s art instructions to ask whether falling in love is always catastrophic.
“Fractious, hilarious and punctuated by undeniable beauty” ★★★★★ The Stage
“…like being sucked down a rabbit hole full of joy.” ★★★★ Fest Magazine
“a warm, endearing show that sends up and pays homage to Ono” ★★★★ The Guardian
Tickets £12.50
