What a fool believes.
Phil McIntyre Entertainment Presents: Simon Day Simon Day first started in stand up comedy in 1990, winning the Time Out New Act of the Year award in 1991. He rose to prominence in 'The Fast Show' also touring extensively performing his many characters. This is his debut solo stand up tour, with no wigs, hats or comedy glasses. He will attempt to explain what it is like to be a clown, hero, genius, loser and true artist all wrapped up in one show - don't miss it! “The maverick conscience of The Fast Show” - N.M.E |

The Uninvited
cube The door closes. The key turns. Pietr sits on the edge of his bed. He's here for the long haul. But no one has told him about The Uninvited, who has come to share his cell... Jon Welch's bold new play delves into exciting dramatic territory. A blisteringly toxic comedy that echoes Pinter and Beckett, this macabre puzzle is by turns surreally comic, disturbing and moving. |
| The Fire Starter
Big State Theatre The Fire Starter is a gloriously irreverent romp through the extraordinary life of a nineteenth century Welsh Arch Druid and Doctor, the cremation crazy William Price. A Pagan, Price played his flute, naked, on the hills, had children out of wedlock, and shocked the Victorians by bucking the burial trend and cremating his dead relatives. This hilarious comedy features over 25 characters including a sheep, a parrot, a spectacularly incompetent vicar, rampant twins and the lovesick Smelly Gwennie, all performed by three stunningly versatile actors. “Fast-fired multiple character changes with layer upon layer of jokes from very skilled performers” - Venue |

Black Comedy and Heavy
Rondo Theatre Co A pairing of One Act comic delights, not to be missed... Black Comedy. It's 1965 and Brindsley has one shot at making it big and getting the girl. No problem. Until the lights go out. Heavy. It's 1823 and Gabriel, (Guardian of the British Weights & Measures), faces the combined evils of a drunken Master, Hot-Shot Graduate, and the dreaded metric system... worse still, his beloved weights aren't behaving themselves... Astonishingly good new writing from Jon Thrower. |
