Back in 2024, Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore hurled a bucket of blood-spattered comedy across the Everyman’s stage. Now its director, Chris Sonnex, returns with A Skull in Connemara – McDonagh’s fearsomely funny dig through the dirt of rural County Galway.
Mick and Mairtin have been hired as gravediggers – not to bury, but to exhume the bones of those who died years before. Every year, this macabre task makes space for more bodies – but in this tiny village, rumours and secrets are never far below ground. It may seem like the past has been buried, but you never know what might get dug up with the dead.
Volatile, unsettling and wickedly comic, A Skull in Connemara is a dark and daring creation – an outrageous gem from the award-winning writer of In Bruges, The Pillowman and The Banshees of Inisherin.
After taking the global internet by storm with viral clips of her shows, dazzling the West-End as ‘Ruth’ in the hit show ‘Titanique’ and a barnstorming sell-out tour of Australia, the UK’s self-declared “siren from South Yorkshire” MYRA DUBOIS has heard the call of UK and Ireland. AdMyras unite; she’s on her way!

Following its sell-out run earlier this year, the Scousewives are back with the next show in the series starring Brookside’s Sarah White.
Desperate Scousewives: Nessa’s Story is written, directed and stars Lynne Fitzgerald. The talented cast also includes Samantha Alton, Jennifer Airey and Leslie Longley.
It’s Christmas Eve on a Liverpool street where nothing ever goes to plan.
A prisoner is on the run, the girls are locked out in the freezing cold, and chaos is already unfolding before the night has begun. Lily is on tag and trying to stay out of trouble, Susan is as sharp-tongued and sarcastic as ever, and Trisha once again finds herself the butt of everyone’s jokes.
As the night descends into festive carnage, secrets are revealed, friendships are tested, and the whole street is thrown into absolute chaos.
Fast, funny and full of attitude, Desperate Scousewives Nessa’s story is the perfect Christmas night out.
Laughter guaranteed. Behaviour not. 18+ Not for the faint-hearted!
The Four Horsemen of Economic Unrest, War, Global Warming and AI are galloping towards us. Are we on the road to hell? And can we avoid the potholes? In his brand new tour show ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie has the antidote to the breakdown of law and order, fake news and the price of baked beans.
He’s encountered more than his fair share of egotistical dictators in his policing career and learnt when pragmatism, and more than a dash of laughter, can defuse even the most menacing showdown.
Join Alfie as he’s saddles up to see off those bullies on their pesky ponies. Doomsday is no laughing matter, but this show certainly is.

From Stand-up to spoken word sequences by Sandstone Silver presented by host and comedian: Daniel Hippolyte Carmichael from Skelmersdale, graduated in 2012 with a BA (Hons) in Drama. Having worked as a comedian, writer and actor for the last decade. “He’s got naturally funny bones, over six and half foot, that’s a lot of funny!”
Patrick Monahan Short stand up from young performer Jaqson Johnston-Lynch. A stand up comic that has a dry sense of humour, also a lover of dry food. Presenting Sarah Levine one of Liverpool’s fastest-rising comedy talents. A mixed-race single mum with zero filter, she’s sharp, sexy, fearless, and not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking.
For the first time in ten years, beloved comedian, writer and broadcaster Susan Calman returns to the stage with a joyful, whip-smart and wonderfully unhinged evening of stories, silliness and surprise, already adding extra dates due to phenomenal demand!
A decade older, but not necessarily wiser, Susan has amassed a remarkable number of improbable adventures since her last tour. Tall Tales dives headfirst into the most unbelievable highlights: from cruising the world to driving tanks, her enduring love of cats and the trials and triumphs of getting older.
Susan said: “It’s been ten whole years since I last headed out on tour, and I couldn’t be more excited to get back on the road. I’ve collected so many ridiculous and unbelievable stories over the last decade that it feels only right to share them in person – preferably while dancing badly. I can’t wait to see everyone across the UK again and have a joyful, hilarious time together.”
Prepare yourself for an evening of barely believable stories, laughter and probably some dancing. And yes, she warns audiences in advance: you still won’t believe how short she really is.
Following his hugely successful Catch Your Breath tour, comedian and NHS anaesthetist Ed Patrick returns with his new hit show Numb and Number.
