Tickets: £15 (£12.50 concessions)

Alexei Sayle performs excerpts from his new book Stalin Ate My Homework a hilarious memoir of his confusing life as the son of Communist parents, his childhood in Eastern Europe and his years as a teenage Maoist.

The female most likely to be seen in the sports pages will be a horse. Women are disappearing too because flesh is not allowed. As soon as girls accept the size, role and shape of adult women, they begin to disappear.

Stalin Ate My Homework is a funny and perceptive portrait of a family, a city, a country and a continent going through enormous changes. Alexei will also answer audience questions on his dazzling show business career and easy stubborn stain removal.

With each stage of their lives, as they become successively wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, they become less visible.

A Celebration of Jane Austen

[KTh]

with Robert Powell and Gabrielle Drake

Saturday 28 September at 7.30pm Tickets: £17.50 Two of our best-loved actors, Robert Powell and Gabrielle Drake bring us Jane Austen’s world. No writer, with the exception of perhaps Shakespeare and Dickens, stands higher in public esteem and affection than Jane Austen. This celebration examines the enigmatic figure behind the popular image of bonnets, tea and gentility. A wonderful chance to enjoy a colourful and revealing journey through the life and works of this most paradoxical and bewitching author.

This performance is a two act humorous insight into Helen's life, accompanied by a pianist, with some of her favourite songs and is certain of attracting a good audience.

‘heart-wrenching...charming, moving and wry’ Time Out HHHH ‘more than a touch of Brel or even Sondheim, elevates the everyday to the sublime’ Broadway Baby HHHH

The lights soften, the mood settles. An audience waits for that first moment of sound. The Big Band is poised, relaxed, but with eyes anxious for the lead. Then, as if giving body to an echo, the murmured notes of ‘Moonlight Serenade’…and the night, it seems, is suddenly full and timeless.

Simon Egerton delights with his wit, his songs and stories - funny and poignant. A family remembered from a time when cigarette smoke still clouded everything!

Thursday 24 October at 7.45pm

Tickets: £14

Tickets: £15

This band is living proof that Eastern Europe can also bring good and unique elements to the global village - in spite of history and conditions.

The Faustus triumvirate are three of the leading lights of English folk music: Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy, Whapweazel), Benji Kirkpatrick (Seth Lakeman Band, Bellowhead) and Paul Sartin (Bellowhead, Belshazzar’s Feast).

From young enthusiasts of Polish roots and natural vibes, to mature mind musicians and conscientious creators. In 2004, Warsaw Village Band won the ‘Best Newcomer Award’ at the prestigious BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music. That same year, they also won the Broadcasting Union award for the ‘Best Folk Recording’.

Specialising in powerful delivery, faultless harmonies, inspired arrangements and a sprinkling of some of the bawdiest songs in the folk cannon, they are men on a mission to banish all that is pastoral and fey in the delivery of folk music. Their plethora of experience is brought together in a bold and virtuosic display of musicianship – and testosterone!

After sorting out politics (Hitler Moustache), religion (Christ on a Bike), love (What is Love, Anyway?) and penises (Talking Cock), Herring returns to tackle the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns (apart from Jesus and that canoe bloke). Is death a tragedy or an excuse to have an extended lie-in? Are we snuffed out or forced to endure eternity without bodily pleasures? Death is inevitable, so let's laugh in its face while our hearts still beat and our jaws are still attached.

‘On the edge of great fame’ HHHH Fest ‘Tough Luvvie is his best solo stand up show to date’ HHHH The Telegraph Hal’s comedy is simultaneously warm and catty, straight and camp, it’s a lovely mix that has made him a regular guest on John Bishops’s Only Joking (Sky1) and led to not one, but two sitcoms being produced this year.
