Each week we’ll have 3 top circuit comedians delivering their usual club routines sothe material is mature and sweary with the odd birth story flash back.... The only difference is it’s during the day. Babies under 18 months are welcome, but please don’t bring older toddlers because they tend to heckle!

There’s snacks and drinks available in the cafe too so treat yerself to cake and a Prosecco, you deserve it!

In February 2019 Bristol based choreographer Anderson created the inaugural work for the first professional contemporary dance company in in Lima, Peru - PUCP Danza, founded by Fernando Castro of The PUCP university and led by artistic director Pachi Valle Riestra.
The work, Laberinto (Labyrinth), is based on Anderon’s British Council and Arts Council England funded travel research award into pre-Incan ceremonial sites and imagery, and is created in collaboration with Peruvian artists, - costume designer Alonso Nuñez, scenic and lighting artist Mariano Marquez and long-time collaborator British composer Steve Blake.
This work follows in Anderson’s series of works of historical mis-construction of reimagined lost dances.
The work uses designs and imagery from pre-Incan textiles, ceramics and architecture as a notation for a lost choreography that leads the audience on a serpentine journey into the darkness, into the labyrinth, into worlds beyond death.
The work draws on European mythical imagery of the underworld,
early 20th century Russian ballet’s idea of ancient Greek fauns and nymphs, Hollywood’s depiction of spirits from the underworld and musician Cab Calloway’s acerbic song about mortality.

Was he the Fagin in Dickens' Oliver Twist?

Was he based on a real-life character?
Join Fagin as he reviews his situation during his final night in prison before being hanged. As madness envelops him he is ‘visited’ by some old acquaintances.
Find out who he really was and how he ended up as one of the best known, yet unknown, of Dickens' characters.
“This powerful new play gives a fresh twist on Dicken’s criminal Fagin.”
Think you know Fagin? Think again.
Fagin? -written and directed by Simon Downing.
“All three actors in the roles of Fagin (Keith Hill), Bill (Giles Shenton) and Nancy (Georgia Butt) deliver impeccable performances. In the centre of it all, the audience is captivated by Fagin’s diverse, manipulative and complex character.”
The Reviews Hub
“It is apowerful piece of work….it deserves to become an eventual classic.
The set is simple, the themes (of love, greed, deception, betrayal, regret and retribution) universal, the subtle interplay between the three characters intense and the background (Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist) so familiar that this small masterpiece could well be a theatrical staple.” You would be a fool to yourself to miss it.”
