Seventy minutes. Seven seasons. One Spike.

This fast-paced gem brings you the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… Spike. Buffy Revamped tours the UK following its award-winning Edinburgh Fringe premiere in 2022, a Christmas season in Toronto in 2023 and several sold-out national tours.

Funny, satirical and bursting with 90s pop-culture references, it’s the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.

Created by comedian Brendan Murphy whose last show, FRIEND (The One with Gunther), won Best Play at the World Wide Comedy Awards.

Local group One Off Productions return to Hull Truck Theatre with a stage adaption of the ever popular hit. The Vicar of Dibley. If you enjoyed the TV show you will love this production featuring many of the scenes from the BBC sitcom.

This Amateur production is presented by Tiger Aspect Productions.

Paul Mayhew-Archer has been making audiences laugh for 45 years.

He produced several series of the Radio Four Classic “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue” and co-wrote with Richard Curtis the multi-award-winning and much-loved sitcom “The Vicar Of Dibley”. He also worked with Richard again to adapt Roald Dahl’s “Esio Trot” starring Judi Dench and Dustin Hoffman.

Fourteen years ago, Paul was told he had Parkinson’s and he decided to carry on laughing. He started doing jokes about his condition at fundraising events at The Royal Albert Hall and London’s Comedy Store. Later he made a BBC Documentary “Parkinson’s: The Funny Side” and won the Grierson Award for Best Documentary Presenter of The Year. Then in 2023 he and five friends with Parkinson’s – the presenters Jeremy Paxman, Rory Cellan-Jones, Mark Mardell and Gillian Lacey-Solymar, and the Judge Nick Mostyn – got together to make a podcast called “Movers and Shakers” which has become more popular and influential than any of them thought possible and won the Broadcasting Press Guild’s Podcast of The Year Award.

Paul also travels around the country performing his one-man show “Incurable Optimist”. It’s show that’s full of funny stories about his career and his condition and he does it to raise awareness of Parkinson’s, to raise money for local Parkies and because he absolutely loves hearing people laugh.

Oh… he’s thrilled to be coming to Hull.

Alan Hudson and Kat Hudson have joined magical forces again in their brand new comedy and magic show, 2 Become Wand.

So what can you expect from Hudson & Hudson? Fantastic magic (obviously) and lots of LOLs. Also probably some built up tension on stage, especially if Alan has been leaving his underpants on the floor recently.

Last year half way through Edinburgh Festival, Kat announced that they needed marriage counselling. Let’s hope this one goes smoother…

IMPORTANT: This show was due to take place on Thu 17 Oct 2024 and has been rescheduled to Wed 11 Jun 2025. All bookers have been contacted via email, with options (please remember to check your junk folder).

Howl with the Hounds of Love and dance on the moors with Wuthering Heights!
She’s not there – but you are.

Whether you’ve been a fan for decades or recently joined the shoal via the ‘Stranger Things’ phenomenon, there has never been a better time to release your inner Bush and celebrate at this joyful, unique and mind-blowing show.

Following its sold-out, critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe première, London seasons, UK and Australian tours this smash-hit, award-winning show is back! Sarah-Louise Young and co-creator Russell Lucas pay glorious homage to the music, fans, and mythology of one of the most influential voices in British music.

Having reassessed her life through the prism of an ADHD diagnosis in last year’s funny and moving memoir, one of Britain’s most beloved and most scatterbrained stand-ups lets you back into her mind (warning: it’s cluttered in there).

Among other things, this show will be a love-letter to letter-writing, a trip back through her early years as a comic and woman-about-town, and a whirlwind tour of a chaotic, hilarious brain.
