Tuesday 19 June at 7:45 pm



Let Luke lead you through Blighty’s run-down shopping precincts, provincial high streets and airless television studios to introduce a cast of tone-deaf pop wannabes, terrorised single mums and baby-boomers with “afflu-AIDS.” Between each poem Luke offers a pithy crash course in the history of balladry, from broadsides to Christina Aguilera. Stunning Steadman-esque illustrations accompany each poem courtesy of Sam Ratcliffe. Luke is a regular on Radio Four’s Saturday Live. Tickets £8, Student £5. www.lukewright.co.uk

Wicked Wit in the Weald 

Headline - Raymond and Mr Timpkins Revue.
It's freakish entertainment on a twisted stick, incorporating inimitable acoustic guitar/stylophone driven rock anthems coupled with a plethora of prop-assisted material that's busier than a wasp in a fat child's lunchbox.Together since 1992, their highly original performance approach has made them regulars in Universities and comedy clubs around the country, including appearances at the Edinburgh (Where they appeared in 'The Best of the Fringe'), Glastonbury, Phoenix and Reading festivals.
"Knockabout duo - Really out there!" THE GUARDIAN
“A mad, anarchic triumph of stupidity over style. Not to be missed" THE GUARDIAN

With Michael Fabbri who has a dark and honest approach to some of life’s more touchy subjects. Fabbri manages to effortlessly slip between some harsh, controversial topics to light-hearted silliness to make for a refreshingly eclectic and brilliantly funny act. 
“exceptionally funny…extremely sharp…hugely enjoyable” The Scotsman

Tickets £15 with supper, £12 without,  Student with supper £11, £8 without. When booking more than one ticket click the Group Box.
