welcome Can it be 30 years since we opened the Comedy Cellar’s doors? – Yes it can! We are now officially the longest running comedy club outside of London. Simon Houlihan and his team are still programming the event and have been involved since we established the club here when I was Head of Music in 1986. Simon and I visited the infamous Tunnel Club in London back then and after dodging the flying pint glasses, we had a bit of a chat with the legendary Malcolm Hardee and decided we could make it work right here in Bracknell. And thank goodness we did, because what would Friday nights in Bracknell have been like without it?! Watch out for our series of special Comedy Club 30 events to mark the anniversary.

The other anniversary we celebrate this season is the 100th anniversary of Roald Dahl’s birth – with our own in-house production, the UK première no less, of The Magic Finger – an enchanting show for the whole family for half-term, together with a visit from Ballet Cymru with not one but two stories from Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes on Sunday 6 November. Dahl’s Deal – save £4 when you buy a combined ticket for these shows. You can witness more adult adventures too this season (including the creation of a monster in Frankenstein in September) before Christmas cheer sets in with our legendary annual panto (the delightful Cinderella this year) and a whole host of festive comedy and music. Have a wonderful autumn at South Hill Park! Ron McAllister Chief Executive, South Hill Park

Art Themen · tenor sax Fri 9 Sept

A winner of the 2008 British Jazz Awards, Art Themen first appeared on the jazz scene in the late 1950s. After involvement with the London blues scene, he fronted the Stan Tracey quartet for 20 years from 1976. He has toured worldwide, and played with many US and British luminaries. An appealing presence on the British jazz circuit for over 40 years… Originally a Dexter Gordon and Sonny Rollins disciple... Themen has proved himself remarkably attentive to the saxophone styles of subsequent generations. John Fordham

Gordon Campbell · trombone Fri 7 Oct

Trombonist Gordon Campbell is famous for his exquisitely beautiful sound. Lead Trombone in the BBC Big Band since 1984, he has played with Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Shirley Bassey and Robbie Williams. He is also Lead Trombone of the John Wilson Orchestra. Gordon Campbell’s trombone playing is one of the great glories of British musical life. He stands alone in terms of phrasing – nobody can play a ballad like him – and his tone is matchless. John Wilson

Tony Woods · alto sax Fri 4 Nov

Tony Woods’ saxophone playing is by turns lyrical and fiery. He has toured extensively and performed at festivals including Manchester and Swanage, and venues like Southbank and Ronnie Scott’s. He has recorded CDs with his own Tony Woods Project, as well as with Tim Whitehead, Pete Churchill and the late Michael Garrick. Woods is phenomenal BBC Music Magazine

Roger Beaujolais · vibraphone Fri 2 Dec

Roger Beaujolais is the first musician in the UK to make a living solely from playing the vibraphone. He has released 18 albums, performed in 25 countries on four continents, and played most of the major jazz festivals in Europe. Completely self-taught (there was no-one to teach him when he started), he is now professor of vibes at Trinity College of Music, London. His whole approach is fresh & original without straining for effect. Dave Gelly (The Observer)

South Korean born YoonSeok Shin, a graduate of both the Royal College of Music and Trinity Laban, is an outstanding performer. He offers a marvellous musical evening with works by Haydn, Beethoven (the Pastoral Sonata), Chopin (including the 1st Ballade) culminating in a performance of Schubert’s masterpiece the Wanderer Fantasy.

Veronika Shoot · piano Alisa Lubarskaya · cello Fri 9 Dec

Paul Sinha is a stand-up comedian, but you might have seen him on the telly, as ‘The Sinnerman’, catching unlucky contestants on ITV’s teatime quiz, The Chase. But what many people might not know is that for well over a decade

They now bring you their latest and most spectacular creation, the Kaleidoscope of Fashion – where art, fashion and dance collide, creating a spectacular visual show. Fashion is a statement, not a style. Fashion does not have to be worn casually nor outside the runway. Fashion is fit for all sizes, for all people of all ages. Fashion is an art, not an excuse to be pretty, popular and characteristic. It’s a new era in fashion, there are no rules Alexander McQueen.

This popular, world-class duo are back for another evening of Simon’s off-beat humour and jawdropping virtuosity on mandolin and fiddle and Hilary’s ‘honey-dripping voice’... not to mention her mighty mandobass. Featuring songs from Hilary’s acclaimed new CD of blues, swing and American folk songs, You Don’t Know, alongside show-stoppers from Simon’s vast and varied repertoire. They’re joined by multi-instrumentalist Phil Fentimen. Great charm and wit ★★★★ Radio 2

Paul Sinha has been making his name in the world of stand-up comedy. He’s had great gigs, he’s had horrific gigs and he’s performed at gigs from Aberdeen to Auckland and from Sheffield to Singapore. There have been nine, count ‘em, nine solo shows. Paul Sinha is many many things. He’s a brother, a doctor, a Gemini, a sports fanatic, a godparent, a proud quiz geek and according to Jim Davidson, ‘an Indian poof’. But first and foremost, he is a stand-up comedian. A bloody great stand-up comedian.

Alan Turing changed the world, in wartime and in our own time. When he died, nine years after the War, aged 41, few people knew of his work cracking the Enigma code of the Germans and few understood the significance of his work in computing. He had imagined the first modern computer, set about building it, and dreamt that one day intelligent machines might think. Only now is his influence recognised – and only now has the state forgiven him. Hugh Whitemore’s play spans Alan Turing’s life, from his schooldays to his death, convicted and at odds with the country he had helped to save. It is the story of the man behind the extraordinary achievements. Based on the account of Turing’s life by Andrew Hodges that inspired The Imitation Game. Elegant and poignant Time magazine

Dick & Lottie bring you a very special Ayckbourn double bill. Never played before as a pair, Invisible Friends is often described as a complimentary play to Woman in Mind: both feature a protagonist who creates an imaginary family to escape her real family. After being knocked out by stepping on the tooth end of a garden rake, Susan experiences hilarious hallucinations in which her oppressive and boring everyday life is replaced by a fantasy in which she is an ideal wife and mother with an ideal family. When Lucy’s imaginary friend Zara becomes all too real and offers to make her family disappear, Lucy is all too happy to agree. But when Zara’s much worse family appears in their place, Lucy has to deal with the consequences of her actions and find a way to bring her own family home. An extremely funny and deeply serious play which appeals to the irrepressible child in every adult and to the insufferable adult in every child London Sunday Times

It took Michael Portillo little more than 10 years to get a seat in the Commons and then rise in power and esteem to a point where he was a favoured leader of his party and possible future PM. A track record like that suggests to many a privileged friend of the

rich and famous with little or no understanding of or care for the ordinary citizen. But since leaving the House almost a decade ago Michael has endeared himself to many with his obvious respect for solid workmanship and creative energy. Michael has championed our great Victorian railways and the daily toil of the working man, as well as the underprivileged (Michael becomes a Single Mum) and the troubled (Death of a School Friend). A historian at heart, listen to his extraordinary story and then feel free to question him about it.

Wilderness Andrew Hardwick Mirror Gallery Sat 26 Nov – Sun 8 Jan

This winter we welcome painter Andrew Hardwick, whose paintings will form a solo exhibition in South Hill Park’s Mirror Gallery. Hardwick’s landscapes derive from familiarity with places – felt through all seasons across moorland, and more recently heathland local to Bracknell. Harwicks paintings are layered with unconventional materials and relevant artifacts producing a rich surface texture. Never untouched by notions of change, memory, history and emotion, the works remind us we are but another layer in time.

Harwick Graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Cardiff in 1997. He has had numerous solo shows across the UK and ROI and his work can also be seen in the 2016 Royal Accademy summer exhibition.

20:20 www.2020printexchange.com Sat 26 Nov – Sun 8 Jan Long Gallery
