Doug Allan – Life behind the Lens
An Audience with General Sir Mike Jackson
An Audience with Ann Widdecombe
Grabbed by a walrus, pawed by a polar bear, caressed by a whale... multiaward winning wildlife photographer, cameraman, explorer, Doug hosts an evening of enthralling personal recollections from his travels around the world as one of the world’s leading wildlife cameramen. Doug never fails to entertain with his exciting stories, Scottish charm and warm sense of humour.
The former head of the British Army General Sir Mike Jackson is known for his tough talking and uncompromising style. British generals appear to be getting the taste for speaking the truth in public, a refreshing antidote to most leading politicians. His auto-biography, recently published, pulls few punches and gives a soldier’s commentary on recent conflicts – both military and political. Sir Mike retired from the Army in 2006 after 45 years.
How often can you hear a former Shadow Home Secretary revealing what life is really like at the centre (well OK, right of centre) of British politics? She had a formidable reputation in parliament and remains relentlessly outspoken. However, live on stage Ann is engaging, entertaining and refreshingly down to earth. An unmissable evening, which definitely has ‘something of the night’ about it.

Five Oscar nominations, including best cinematography and best foreign language film.
A young music fan bootlegs the opera singer he idolises – with unexpected consequences. Director Jean Jacques-Beineix’s BAFTA-nominated pop art pastiche is a glittering mix of artifice and genuine cool with its effortless thriller plot, the perfect statement of French cinematic art and style.
Director Jean Pierre Jeunet returns with this BAFTAnominated post-apocalyptic surrealist black comedy about the landlord of an apartment building who occasionally prepares delicacies for his tenants from the most unexpected of sources in his mysterious Deli. Bleak, dark and uproarious.

After more than a decade in the UK, the German Comedy Ambassador’s assimilation is not so complete that he hasn’t lost his sense of wonderment at the foibles of British society. Expect a crash course in personal accountability and have a right old laugh at the same time! Wunderbar!
It sounds like a wrong tennis score, but 2015 is a big year for one of the UK’s best loved comedians. Fred looks forward to life after the referendum of 2014. He’ll also probably look sideways at politics and sport, and without sounding like a newspaper, there will undoubtedly be a colour supplement with a look at ‘celebrity’.
A no-nonsense comedian who specialises in funny nonsense, coming to Camberley after yet another sold-out Edinburgh run. He has joined Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio Show every Saturday morning from 8am. A regular on 8 out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week, and has appeared on Soccer A.M and Live at the Comedy Store.
Officially The Most Dangerous Man on Saturday Morning Television, Chris makes a welcome return to Camberley! Chris starred in the second series of BBC Two’s sitcom Hebburn, and is a regular on Celebrity Juice, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Sweat the Small Stuff, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff for the Beeb.

The West End smash is back to mark its 21st Anniversary in spectacular style. The latest incarnation ‘Welcome to the Carnevil’ is set in Victorian London, the age of the Freakshow and the Ripper still at large. Zombies, Killer Klowns, Sword Swallowers, Demon Dwarfs, acrobats and much, much more. A show ruled by the undead & climaxing in an awesome flaming apocalypse. If Quentin Tarantino had directed Cirque Due Soleil then you would be only half way there…
