Reviews
Loneliness and Other Adventures
Mollie Semple shines in this solo piece about loneliness and learning to love yourself.
Educating Rita
Willy Russell’s script shines through this fierce pairing of Tompkinson and Johnson.
Blithe Spirit
A refreshing production of Noël Coward’s witty comedy written to cure wartime woes.
Avenue Q
An outrageously funny show that wonderfully handles real life issues
Horrible Histories: Awful Egyptians and Terrible Tudors
Gross-out humour and history are effortlessly combined in this production of a classic children’s series.
Jeanette Cousland: From Jobbie Bombs To Jagerbombs
Self-styled ASBO gran tells all in first full length show
Tom Stade: I Swear To…
Stade shows just why people keep coming back in a slick, professional and very funny show.
Leyla Josephine: Daddy Drag
Josephine’s quick wit and charm results in a comedic and compelling homage to fathers.
Jamie Dalgleish: From Buckfast to Middle Class
Rather predictable, unengaging stand-up
Susie McCabe’s Great Expectations
Superb comedic style slightly let down by length of set
Carmen Lynch: Awkwardly Hot
Competent standup which arguably tries too hard to be dark
