Alison Spittle

 

Age guidance 14+Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Following an award winning sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Alison Spittle is touring “her finest show to date” (The Scotsman).

A man told Alison to sit down and now she’s doing a whole stand up show about it. After an encounter on a train with a man triggers a series of events that change Alison’s life, she ponders if it’s easier to change herself than the world around her. This is a big show about making yourself smaller.

Alison has made appearances on House of Games, Celebrity Goggle Box and Pointless Celebrities, and on the popular podcasts Off Menu, The Gargle and Trusty Hogs. She is the co-host of the new podcast Magazine Party, and has also co-hosted Wheel of Misfortune and Guilty Feminist. You may have also seen Alison as the support act for Fern Brady, Rob Delaney and Maria Bamford on tour.

 

Janine Harouni

 

Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and ‘unstoppably entertaining’ (★★★★★ Times) Janine Harouni hits the road with a brand-new hour of joyful, quick-witted stand-up.

Fresh off a world tour – including an Off-Broadway run in New York and a performance at the Netflix is a Joke Festival in LA – the New York native returns with a razor-sharp new show about marriage, parenting, and all the other wonderful milestones that slowly degrade your sleep and sanity.

With over 100 million views online, an Amazon Prime special, and rave reviews across the board, Harouni is one of the most electric comics working today.

Harouni is a regular on UK TV (Live at the Apollo, The Last Leg, The Russell Howard Hour, The John Bishop Show), and has opened for comics like Michael Che and Adam Rowe. She has featured in films and TV shows like Bob’s Burgers, The Franchise, Collette, Patrick Melrose, The People We Hate At The Wedding and The Batman

 

The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins

 

Age guidance 16+

You may know her as Bake-Off Sue, Taskmaster Sue, Just A Minute Sue, or the Sue that gives you travel envy – but stand-up Sue is full of surprises. In this brand-new show, she shares the unlikely happenings from a career in the spotlight. 

What’s the fallout when your pituitary gland goes haywire on live TV?  How do you convince the public you didn’t really fall onto that hoover attachment? And when intimate photos get splashed all over the internet, how do you switch the shame to dignity and joy? 

In her first live show in over a decade, Sue delivers a hilarious treatise on stigma, humiliation, and misunderstanding.

 

Harry Enfield and No Chums

 

Age Guidance: 18+

Join us for a rare and entertaining evening with legendary satirical comedian and self-styled “stupid idiot”, Harry Enfield.

From the meteoric rise of Loadsamoney, a Thatcherite Visionary, to the fury of Kevin the Teenager, Harry will reflect on 40 years of arsing about in comedy and bring some of his favourite characters vividly back to life on stage.

Then it’s over to your questions: your chance to ask how it all works for him, what he’s most proud of, and what he says to the many who ask, “You wouldn’t be allowed to do your stuff today, would you?”

Don’t miss an unforgettable evening with a brilliantly silly and strikingly insightful comedian.

Spiritual connection. Mystical congress….

……Spectral Intercourse.

General Medical Emergency Ward 10

The award-winning Dyad Productions and Company Gavin Robertson are joining forces!

It’s a pedigree of the first degree!  Between them, Dyad’s recent productions – Austen’s Women: LADY SUSAN, A Christmas Carol, A Room of One’s Own, That Knave, Raleigh  – and Gavin Robertson, with Done to Death by Jove!, The Ghost of a Smile and BOND – An Unauthorised Parody have toured both the UK and internationally, with resounding success over the last few years. Labouring away in secret, looking for the perfect co-production has taken time, but finally the answer has arrived!

Every hospital, medical-based, Doctors-and-Nurses cliche-ridden drama onstage in a comedy mash-up spoof!

It’ll have you in stitches!

It’s Dr Ann Fleming’s first day at St David’s, where her unfortunately-named mentor Dr Death, is determined to show her who’s boss. As medical emergencies overload the hapless staff, Dr Fleming has to juggle a complicated budding love affair, with a kidney, and a nosey Hospital boss. Not literally.

Yes – ‘Holby City’, ‘Casualty’, ‘E.R’ and ‘Doctors’ – not to mention movies galore, are re-imagined and invigorated by Rebecca Vaughan, Andrew Margerison and Gavin Robertson in a pacy, cliché-ridden comic homage to the intrigues and dramas of every hospital plotline on the big and small screen!

To be taken once a day. (Or twice if there’s a matinee).

Created in collaboration with the Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead.

★★★★★ ‘If you haven’t seen Dyad Productions’ work before, you simply must’ British Theatre Guide

★★★★★’Robertson performs with a subtle conviction that’s compelling to watch’ The Guardian

 

Invisible

Five women meet up on a Saturday morning, as they have done every week for years, but this time they have a plan. Fast forward one year and their lives have changed irrevocably.

Invisible is a frank, fast-paced comedy drama dealing with how older women are perceived in society, the relationships they forge and most importantly their ‘invisibility’. With warmth and laugh out loud humour, the play explores sisterhood, motherhood and the effects of upbringing, as well as navigating modern life as an older woman.

This is a truly joyous play celebrating the bonds of friendship and the fascinations and pitfalls of contemporary life. Gather your tribe for a brilliant night out!
