Tales from a mobile library Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming journey to the Top of the Wold! Hop aboard the most charmingly quirky mobile library youll ever encounter and dive into chapters that teem with the lives of then and now. This brand-new play, bursting with original songs, invites you to join the East Riding Mobile Library in a celebration of community, culture, caravans, and peas. Via Bempton, Bridlington, Hornsea and Howden, we explore a region barely noticed by the nation it feeds, eroded by the pounding North Sea, can a mobile library with its complex web of rural stops (and somewhat erratic engine) pull together the Ridings finest yarns? From the rolling Wolds to the wild North Sea, discover a place where connection to the land is ingrained, culture is as organic as its produce, and the sea reminds us that we stand on the cliff-edge of a much bigger story. This laugh-out-loud quest through a patchwork of culture and community celebrates the forgotten, the resilient, and the wonderfully eccentric. If the story of a county is written in a book, the library is the spine that shows you where to look.

Graeme Rayner - Comedy Night

Graeme Rayner - Comedy Night

2 Sept 2026 - 2 Sept 2026

Birthday boy Graeme Rayner is putting on a double bill of his two solo shows at the superb Guiseley Theatre, and he's filming them so he can put them on YouTube, even though he knows nobody will watch. Graeme was a Semi-finalist in the British Comedian of the Year Competition in 2023, and a Finalist in the Halifax Comedy Festival Comedian of the Year 2025, as well as a Finalist in the Comedy Hotspot's Search for a Star in 2023. Lancashire Post- "Graemes talent as a raconteur instils the audience with confidence. The laughs come thick and fast."On Yorkshire Magazine - "Strong in delivery, clean, then not cleanheckle him if you dare. Youll be smashed to pieces if you try, as a couple of punters found out tonight." Joe Pasquale - "One of the most accomplished MCs I've ever seen. In total command of the audience" "Dadology" is Graeme's debut 1 hour show, and includes everything they're not telling you about being a dad. In reality, it's either a TED Talk on parenting made up of stories and advice from Graeme's 19 years of fatherhood, or it's an hour of filth pretending to be one. Sussex News - "A stand up masterclass [...] Deserving of the national stage" 1/2 Krowdwerk is exactly what you might think an unscripted crowd work show. Having several years of MCing experience, Graeme wants to put those skills to the test with an interactive, audience-driven show. It will not be an hour of whats your name and what do you do? but will instead be a conversational show with topics suggested by the audience etc. If youre coming along, be prepared to get involved! Please Note: This show is being filmed with the intention of Dadology being released on YouTube and clips from KrowdWerk being used on social media platforms, and this means footage of audience reactions and interaction will feature.
