Father’s Day At The Mansion Hous...

They’re celebrating father figures of all kinds in the Mansion House garden. There’s something for everyone, with hourly storytelling sessions, games and craft tables open all day long. Kids will love their free face painting station, while adults can tuck into a delicious BBQ and put their feet up with a drink from their bar.

Come rain or shine, they’ll make sure it’s a day to remember. If it’s cooler outside, bundle up in your favourite wellies and puddle suits for some fun in the rain, and if the sun is shining, don’t forget to protect yourself with some sun cream and hats.

Whether you’re staying for an hour or making a day of it, this event is sure to be a hit with the entire family.

Myra DuBois: Be Well

With her passion for compassion and flair for giving care, the “bust a gut funny” (Graham Norton) Myra DuBois calls out to the disadvantaged, downtrodden and tyrannised of the world with her manifesto for mental health: AdMyrism! But are you ready to receive the call?

Fresh from a barnstorming run at the Edinburgh Fringe where she left audiences in physical pain from laughter with her ‘take no prisoners’ brand of rapid-fire comedy; the “acid-tongued, funny to the bone” (Time Out), Myra DuBois lays her healing hands on the masses in this; her wellness sermon.

EuroFestival: You’re a Vision!

An Everyman Cabaret with Sheep Soup + Friends

Join Sheep Soup and their fabulous friends for a night of cabaret to raise the roof – a performance that’s in turns sexy, anarchic – and thoroughly brilliant.

For one night only the Everyman falls under the control of Sheep Soup – Rob Green, Nic Harvey and Ben Welch – at least two of whom you’ll recognise from Red Riding Hood.

Heading up a house band with some familiar local faces, Sheep Soup lead a riotous night of cabaret – performance artists In Bed with my Brother bring their special Eurovision performance. There’s award-winning Welsh National treasure Bopa Rhys, multi-disciplinary artist Kolade T Ladipo, and Little Peaches – voted in the top 50 most influential burlesque performers globally – with more to be announced.

This is not the place to sit back and shrink away – get ready for games, sing-alongs, and all manner of silliness. Let’s come together to celebrate Liverpool, music, and YOU.

100% of the cost attached to each ticket constitutes a small transaction fee charged by the Liverpool Everyman (a registered charity) to help with running costs.

Created by Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and Sheep Soup
Commissioned by Culture Liverpool for the EuroFestival 2023

Garrett Millerick – Just Trying ...

Just Trying to Help is the hilarious conclusion to Garrett’s Fatherhood trilogy that began with his 2018 breakout show Sunflower and continued with 2019s Smile.

Having worked through his fears about the state of world, his own maturity, what happens when fate gets in the way of your plans, and how to deal with having an opinion on everything… it’s time to stop fretting on the bench and get out on the field because the game has well and truly started…

 

Bridget Christie: Who Am I?

Bridget Christie is hot, but not in a good way…

The 51 year old critically-acclaimed stand-up leaks blood, sweats, and thinks that Chris Rock is the same person as The Rock.

The Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian cannot ride the motorbike she bought to combat her mid-life crisis because of early osteoarthritis in her hips and RSI in her wrist; and wonders why there are so many films, made by men, about young women discovering their sexuality, but none about middle-aged women forgetting theirs. It’s a menopause laugh-a-minute with a confused, furious, sweaty lady who is annoyed by everything.

Brand new show from the Rose d’Or and South Bank Sky Arts Award winner, star of her own Netflix special, Taskmaster favourite, Channel 4 sitcom The Change and BBC Radio 4 series, Bridget Christie Minds the Gap and Mortal.

Fresh from finding and proving decisive links between IKEA, the CIA and the Nazis, 1930s throwback homeschooled investigator Troy Hawke returns to battle a new enemy on behalf of all people everywhere – the bastard saboteur in his own mind…

Troy’s accolades include: 2019 and 2022 Edinburgh Fringe total sellout run (including 1000 capacity extra show), 2019 and 2022 Top 40 Edinburgh Festival best reviewed comedy shows, 2022 Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show Winner, 2020 Leicester Comedy Festival best show nominee, 2019 and 2020 Perth Fringe World Comedy Weekly Award winner and main award shortlist.

My Therapist Ghosted Me

Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally bring their hilarious, chart-topping and award-winning podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, to Liverpool.

My Therapist Ghosted Me’s inception came as a result of Joanne McNally’s therapist doing exactly that: ghosting her. First, not answering the phone; then not answering the clinic door; and finally refusing to speak to Joanne after she tracked her down (admittedly her therapist was, at that time, scattering her aunt’s ashes at Enfield crematorium).
