Brister has it all: a wife, kids, a house and a job she loves (sometimes) so what the hell is she moaning about?

Join Jen as she takes an irreverent look at the often controversial subject of 'privilege'. Who has it? Who doesn't? And why does no one like to admit they have any?

William Hanson's History of Etiquette… for the socially less fortunate.

In a world full of general ghastliness, trusted authority on matters of etiquette William Hanson has embarked on a solo mission to gentrify the nation.  As well as enlightening us with the history of customs, tastes and manners, William will invite members of the audience to the stage to demonstrate the dos and donts of polite behaviour.  If someone you know is more Crystal Palace than Buckingham Palace, more immoral than Balmoral, then bring them along to discover why we need good manners and civility more than ever.

William is the best-selling author of The Bluffer’s Guide to Etiquette and The Bluffer’s Guide to Entertaining which explores etiquette and decorum at all stages of our lives. He has worked within VIP households, coached diplomats, businesspeople, schools and colleges and advised several multi-national brands in countries as varied as China, India, Monaco and Russia. William sees that good manners are not just part of a bygone age but are in fact timeless and he strives to make them accessible and comprehensive to everyone.

Show contains mild adult humour. Running time: 120 minutes (with interval)

In a secret place at the top of everything stands the tallest mountain in the world. On the peak of the mountain sits a tiny little village. In the centre of the village leans the tallest ladder in the world. At the bottom of the ladder is Stella. Stella is afraid of heights.

With their celebrated brand of puppetry, live music and dazzling storytelling, join Open Attic Company (Much Ado About Puffin) as they make unexpected new friends and reach for the stars at the ‘Greatest Ever Star Shiner Competition… EVER!’. Stella has been ignored for too long and she’s determined to show the other villagers that she can shine a star as well as anyone. All she has to do is climb that ladder…

From top to bottom this is a tale about bravery and overcoming the things that stop us from really looking up. Could this finally be Stella’s time to shine…?

In early 2019, Rhys was asked to go back to his school and inspire the Year 11s. Given that teenagers are a nightmare and there was no fee, he ghosted the teacher who had emailed. Bit of a shame really, given that he's figured out the true circle of life, has solved parenting despite having zero children, and even thinks he can predict the curriculum of schools in 50 years. Maybe he'll inspire some Year 11s in 2069.

Following last year’s sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, London's Soho Theatre, national UK tour and at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, musical comedy sisters Flo & Joan have a new hour of their dark and waggish songs to parade about the place.

“These intricately crafted, flawlessly performed numbers will have you howling with laughter one minute, wiping away a tear the next.” The Telegraph

"Their style is stiletto sharp, their diction perfect as they race through their complex rhymes" Evening Standard

“If Flanders & Swann and Flight of the Conchords and Garfunkel & Oates had a six-way time-travelling gang-bang that somehow mixed all their DNA, the offspring might end up sounding something like Flo and Joan.” Steve Bennett, Chortle
