SUMMARY:Nigel Havers
DESCRIPTION:Well\, I loved my first tour – and I think the audiences did too – so here we go again! \nJoin me\, a stage\, and a lifetime of gloriously ridiculous stories to share with you. You’ll get the full Havers experience: charm\, wit\, and absolutely no running in slow motion. \nI’ll be taking you on a thoroughly entertaining trot through five decades in showbiz. From my early days as a fresh-faced drama school hopeful\, to the highs and lows of a career that’s seen me in everything from Chariots Of Fire and Empire Of The Sun to Don’t Wait Up and some rather marvellous West End plays – and more than my fair share of Palladium Pantos. \nOf course\, there’ll be behind-the-scenes gossip\, tales of triumph (and disaster)\, moments of sheer madness\, and a fair bit of talking b*ll*cks. \nAnd just when you think you’ve got me figured out\, I might surprise you. Let’s just say there’s a taste of my very first acting role and a little showcase of one of my off-stage talents – I’ll leave you guessing. \nSo\, come along for a night of laughter\, nostalgia\, and\, dare I say\, charm. It’s going to be a lot of fun – I promise.

SUMMARY:Flo & Joan: With Feeling
DESCRIPTION:The time has come for critically acclaimed musical comedy duo Flo & Joan to write another bio as they make their highly anticipated return to the stage with a brand-new show. \n“Gosh\, they are almost like a real band” (Bruce Dessau\, Beyond a Joke). The pair will try and take up as much of the stage and as little of your patience as possible as they use another “real band’s” setlist to write their own show -ruminating on themes such as ‘what is music?’\, ‘how do you be a band?’\, and ‘what is comedy’ in the sharp-tongued\, deadpan way they have become accustomed to. \nAs seen on Live at the Apollo\, The Royal Variety Performance\, Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day Live 2023 and their own comedy special ‘Alive on Stage’ for Amazon Prime.

SUMMARY:Sh!t-faced Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet
DESCRIPTION:The smash-hit\, internationally acclaimed\, award-winning\, multi-sell-out phenomenon is back. Our cast will present an unconventional\, no-holds-barred interpretation of Romeo and Juliet\, with a tipsily tragic take on William Shakespeare’s most iconic roll call of characters: from a rat-arsed Romeo to a juiced-up Juliet\, a trollied Tybalt or a mashed-up Mercutios\, along with enough booze to sterilise a brewery floor. This will be a tragedy like no other—the cup overfloweth. \nThere is no love lost between the Capulet and Montague families\, and everyone in Verona knows it. Surely the only hangover cure to centuries of family feuds is two forlorn teenagers from opposite households falling in love with each other? And a swig (or two) of the finest spirits to nudge them in the right direction\, of course… What could possibly go wrong? \nWarning: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® may feature foul language\, nudity\, disembowelled limbs and\, occasionally\, some Shakespeare.
