Thu 28 Jul, 8.15pm

Pete Firman is the UK’s leading Comedian/Magician. A familiar face on British television including Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford and Derren Brown’s 3D Magic Spectacular. Pete will be joined by Matt Kirshen, an established fixture at Edinburgh Fringe with his engaging impish style.

Michael J Dolan / Chris McCausland

SHAZIA MIRZA

Thu 21 Jul, 8.15pm Manchester’s-own grumpy young man, Michael J Dolan, presents his first solo show, “Dressed to Depress”. In his debut Fringe show, he promises to make you laugh at the sheer awfulness of absolutely everything, the idiots you share your life with, your stupid friends and dreadful family. He will be joined by award winning Chris McCausland, the only professional comedian in the UK who is blind which only serves to make his particular brand of observational comedy all the more unique.

Shazia Mirza’s comedy is a unique blend. Her Pakistani parentage and Birmingham upbringing have resulted in a comedy rich in its diversity. Although her family are Muslim this is not central to Shazia’s comedy which takes a more general observational approach and deals with her particular culture as a British Asian woman. Hot comedy talent Zoe Lyons will be joining Shazia, delivering her sideways view of life, picking out the many absurdities and turning them into hilarious routines which she delivers with tremendous energy. Zoe’s TV credits include Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Mock the Week.

EXHIBITIONS TRAINING MAIN GALLERY Black Country Stories by Martin Parr Fri 1 Jul - Fri 30 Sept

Parr’s process of documenting and recording is fuelled by his passion and curiosity, taking inspiration from his surroundings. His intimate approach, photographing his subjects in their own environment, gives him space to explore their lives and values in ways that often involve inadvertent humour. Martin Parr and Multistory will continue to develop the Black Country Stories project over the next three years with Martin visiting Walsall in 2011, Wolverhampton in 2012 and Dudley in 2013, the project is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the New Art Gallery Walsall, Wolverhampton Arts and Heritage And Dudley Museum and Arts service.

BLACK COUNTRY STORIES

The work was commissioned by Multistory, a local community arts organisation, and captures and celebrates everyday Black Country living and working. Parr photographed local factories and industries, markets, shops, gurdwaras, temples, mosques, churches, restaurants, cafés, clubs and pubs, weddings and local cultural celebrations for St George’s day, Easter and Vaisakhi.

BLACK COUNTRY STORIES

Magnum Photographer, Martin Parr, has spent a year documenting life in the Black Country. Exploring modern day society and the cultural make-up of the region, Parr has painted a portrait of British life from his own unique perspective, creating an archive for the future. The collection which contains over 650 images, 60 of which will be on display at Light House, is now held by Sandwell Library.

BALCONY GALLERY Never Made of Plastic by Branko Marinkovic

Wed 27 July, 6.30 - 7.30pm

Show Me a Secret by Students of Sandwell College

Cost: £3

Fri 1 Jul - Fri 30 Sept

SHOW ME A SECRET

While documenting Sandwell, Magnum photographer Martin Parr worked with students and tutors from Sandwell College Photography Department. Martin challenged the students to ‘show him a secret’ of the Sandwell area. A small selection of the students’ work from this assignment will be shown in Lock Works café bar.

Fri 29 Jul - Sun 21 Aug This series of photographic images was designed to operate on a number of levels. The mannequins are shot with a slick, magazine aesthetic, giving them stylised gloss which we are accustomed to in celebrity and fashion magazines. But the images are also intended to raise more difficult questions about body image. The images were created over a period of ten years that Branko spent suffering with anorexia nervosa. He is interested in the questions that are often asked about the eating disorder, and those which he feels are also conveniently forgotten. Is the fashion industry truly some sort of great evil? Is there any benefit to blame? Who really sensationalises eating disorders? Are people truly ignorant of the facts about eating disorders or is it merely lack of education? Is anybody really meant to be “never made of plastic”?

NEVER MADE OF PLASTIC

Out of Hours: Martin Parr

We’re inviting everyone who enjoys photography to create their own photo journey, capturing the hidden details of the city. This is how it will work: • Teams of 1 – 6 people can take part • Meet at Light House and pick up a map • Take 25 photos around Wolverhampton along the trail shown on the map • Bring your camera back to Light House, we’ll copy the files while you wait and the most innovative and exciting images will win a prize • You’ll get to see your images alongside everyone else’s shown on the cinema screen • Selected images will be curated by photographic artist Lorsen Camps for an exhibition in Light House’s Balcony Gallery to celebrate our 25th birthday in September

This will be a fun event, family-friendly and open to all photographic abilities. Interested? What to do next: • Pay £5 to register your team name by calling 01902 716055 or come in to box office • Deadline to register: 30 July - You’ll get an email with a full registration pack and more details one week before the event. If you haven’t received an email by 4 Aug, then get in touch. • You can use any kind of digital camera or a smart phone. We’ll have a card reader for most memory cards, but if you’re using your phone, just remember to bring your cable to transfer files on the day. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for sunshine, but we will be going out whatever the weather! So grab your coat and fetch your camera... go on a photo journey!

Tony is a member of The National Federation of Plastic Yoghurt Top Collectors, but when they hear about his newfound love, it leaves them in complete turmoil.

Oliver (Ewan McGregor) meets the unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent) only months after his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who, following 44 years of marriage, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than ever before. Now Oliver endeavours to love Anna with all the bravery, humour and hope that his father taught him.
