Ukulele Thursdays at Ma Egertons pub

Event

Packed with fun, good beer, the occasional visit from cast members of the latest Empire show, lots of audience participation – what’s not to like?

Blue Room Moves

Join Bluecoat for debut performances by artists from Blue Room Moves, the Bluecoat’s new inclusive dance project, made in collaboration with local dance and film artists.

Blue Room Moves expands on their inclusive arts project Blue Room and supports learning-disabled and neurodivergent adults who are interested in dance, movement and performance.

Manchester Collective: Bag of Bones

No one can outrun the past.

Take a pinch of a romantic song cycle, stir in some studio theatre and a touch of jazz, then filter the whole thing through a hessian sack of deep, dark Central European folklore… and you might be somewhere in the region of ‘Bag of Bones’, Alice Zawadzki’s bewitching new project for Manchester Collective.

Leading a cross-breed ensemble comprising keys, accordion and strings, Zawadzki has created a deeply personal piece of music theatre that grapples with the cultural history and inherited stories that run back through her life to her Polish roots.

There are no sweet jazz songs in this landscape, but somehow, lightness always finds a way through the dark. Brand new music sits alongside a set curated by Alice and the Collective – a set which will transport listeners to strange and new lands.

The ink is not yet dry on this one. This is new music at its most thrilling, dangerous and cathartic.

Foil Arms and Hog

With over one billion views online, Foil Arms and Hog are one of the internet’s most renowned comedy sketch groups, but it’s live performance where they thrive.

Back in the UK, following sell out performances from New York to Berlin and Vancouver to Helsinki, they present Hogwash; a fast paced mix of sketches, improvisation, audience participation and talking suitcases. Come and see why the Irish trio have become the top selling act at the Edinburgh fringe festival for three consecutive years.

John Robins: Howl

Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian and ARIA award-winning broadcaster John Robins embarks on his first stand-up tour since 2019.

If you’ve seen him before you know what to expect; rage, anxiety and a lot of laughs. If you haven’t seen him before, strap the f**k in.

Suzi Ruffell: Snappy

Suzi Ruffell likes things snappy: her stand up, her decisions and her suits. Suzi’s brand new show is all about settling down (but not settling), becoming a mother (without becoming mumsy) and still worrying about everything – of course she is – have you seen the news?

Suzi has also appeared on numerous shows such as Live At The Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show, QI, The Last Leg, and Womanhood to name but a few.

Jon Richardson: The Knitwit

Will the recycling be put out on the right day? Who is going to smooth over the top of the margarine? How many lights are on upstairs when everybody is downstairs? Watch Jon pretend that these aren’t his foremost concerns as he leaves home on his first tour since the last one.

Best known as a team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), host of Dave’s Ultimate Worrier, upcoming sitcom Meet the Richardsons, as well as Would I Lie To You (BBC One), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One), and Taskmaster (Dave).
