Lucy Beaumont has had quite the year. She lost a contestant £79,000 on The Wheel, forgot to revise for Mastermind, and generally confirmed she's terrible at quiz shows. So she's sticking with what she does best - this autumn, she's back on the road with a brand new show. Following the success of her sell-out debut UK tour, Lucy returns with Bad at Quiz Shows, Good with Weirdos - an evening packed with chaotic brilliance, mayhem, and beautifully surreal storytelling that's made her one of the UK's most beloved comedians. Expect tales of going into hiding after Celebrity Traitors, creating cow udder couture on The Great British Sewing Bee, and navigating life as someone for whom "normal" has never made much of an appearance. Whether you loved her on Taskmaster, know her from her award-winning sitcom, or just appreciate someone who turns everyday disasters into comedic gold, this is the night out you need. Come for the chaos. Stay for the weirdos.

Jane Austen returns to The Everyman Theatre this summer Jane Austen’s joyful romance is set partly in Regency Bath and partly at Northanger Abbey in rural Gloucestershire. Our naïve heroine, Catherine Morland, is obsessed with reading Gothic horror novels, which fuel her overactive imagination. In her mind, nothing is ever what it seems. Thank goodness she finds a down-to-earth, unsentimental suitor in Henry Tilney. But with Henry comes the rest of his family and their idiosyncratic ways. This new production of what is agreed to be Jane Austen’s earliest major work promises to be light-hearted, fun and just a little bit scary. From the company which brought you last year’s highly successful Sense and Sensibility.

Just as she is about to depart for a tour of Africa, Geri finds herself besieged by a bevvy of would-be lovers, not to mention her long-suffering secretary, estranged husband and an obsessed young playwright. Will she ever disentangle herself from their tightening clutches and incessant demands? And deep down, does she really want to...?

It’s Susan Calman’s tenth year in comedy and she’s back with a brand new show. You may have seen or heard her on shows like QI, HIGNFY, News Quiz, Listomania or Mock the Week, now you have the opportunity to see her in person, life size if you will. For information Susan is taller than a borrower but shorter than the average thirteen year old child. The show? Well she’s ready to create a storm, to set the record straight, to give it to the man (whoever he is). Incidentally she would also like to be Batman. Comedy that you will enjoy if you’re over 16, like what she does, and won’t be so drunk that she has to throw you out. Sounds like a terrible personal ad doesn’t it? She also likes fine wines, kittens and walks along the beach. Seriously. It’s going to be epic.
