25 - 29 october free events ! www.alexandratheatre.co.uk
hello there!
Welcome to the Alexandra Theatre’s Family Fun Week. Families can enjoy a whole host of free events here this week, including animal encounters, drama workshops, music making and more. We also have some excellent shows in our auditorium to give little ones their first taste (or second or third!) of live theatre. Why not give a comedy club a go? Or even learn the ukulele? You could pretend you’re a giant climbing down a beanstalk in our fun drama workshop! It’s all about inclusive family fun where children can get involved with a wide variety of arts, for a low cost (or completely free). We look forward to welcoming you to our Theatre for one of our favourite weeks of the year! All events are free unless a ticket price is advertised.

tuesday 26th. 2.30PM
TICKETS £10.50 / £8 KIDS / £36 FAMILY TICKET Cracking entertainment for everyone over six years old and under 400 years old (no vampires). We have the best comedians from the UK and world circuit doing what they do best… but without the rude bits! Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children and their families. It’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like “why is that your face!?” Non-patronising. Pure awesome.
