An Evening of Rock and (Camera) Roll.
'An Evening of Rock and (camera) Roll is an exciting new show and charity event from local songwriter & creative writing lecturer Daniel Ash and music therapy charity George's Rockstars. In this one-off performance local songwriters will debut never-before-heard songs inspired by photographs found on their phones camera rolls. Each participating songwriter was challenged to select a photograph and create an original song in response transforming the prettiest, strangest or funniest visual they could find into a new composition. As a songwriter who so often finds himself in a state of writer's block, it's something I started doing myself to spark creativity, explains Ash. I was going to build an entire solo show around the idea, but thought it would be far more interesting to challenge some brilliant local writers with the same task. The plan is that together we can create an exclusive live mixtape. The photographs that inspired the songs will be displayed during the performances, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the connection between picture and song. All money from ticket sales will go directly to George's Rockstars, a local charity that provides music therapy and lessons for children with terminal illnesses. The charity was set up in honour of George OShaughnessy, a student of Daniel's who sadly lost his battle with leukaemia in 2019. Featuring performances from; Dan OFarrell, Owen Hackett, Richard Bushby, Southbound, Everyday Avatar, Sam Brawn, Tamara-Jane Grzegorzek, BGH, Teenage Waitress & many, many more.

The analogue world of hitch-hiking, pub bets and hedge porn. Of being able to get properly lost. And also pondering the great thinkers and mystics of the past who had, it seems, the same doubts and misgivings about reality, back when an adjustable sandal passed for cutting-edge tech. NB Any similarity of Doll in package to Patrick Stewart is coincidental. No refunds.

9 Jul 2026 - 26 Jun 2027

The Four Horsemen of Rising Crime, Global Warming, AI and Culture Wars are galloping towards us. Are we on the road to hell? And can we avoid the potholes? In his brand new tour show 'Fair Cop' Alfie has the antidote to the breakdown of law and order, fake news and the price of baked beans. Somewhere in a parallel universe little Alfie’s natural comedic performance skills were recognised by his doting parents who encouraged and developed his blossoming talent. After several years as a stage school brat Alfie’s angelic face was launched on stage and screen and the rest is history. Meanwhile, in this universe Alfie Moore was told to stop messing about in class before being ‘encouraged’ into the grinding, grimy world of an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks. When recession hit he traded steel for copper by joining Humberside Police. In his 40s the two universes collided when Alfie made a bid for showbiz success – but unfortunately 30 years of shift-work and being punched in the face quite a lot, had left him with ‘a face for radio’. A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by a settlement of squatters with little regard to property maintenance and repair.

Alistair Williams & Tania Edwards ON TOUR
After a series of acclaimed sold-out London shows, British Comedian of the Year Alistair Williams and award-winning stand-up Tania Edwards are ON TOUR. This is fast, smart, gag packed, unapologetic comedy from two razor sharp comics at the top of their game. “Alistair’s urgent energy and compelling confidence make him stand out… a punchy set tore the roof of the gig so conclusively he seemed impossible to beat from the moment he stepped on stage.” Chortle

25 Sept 2026 - 25 Sept 2026

An Evening withBobby Davro at The Attic in Southampton- Friday 25th September A rare opportunity to seeBobby Davro is a Comedian, Actor, Impressionist and Singer. Davro is recognised as one of the UKs most versatile and experienced celebrity comedians. Bobby Davro at The Attic in Southampton Bobby made an early impression at school when he was caught mimicking his headmaster, a Harold Wilson sound-alike, and was given six of the best! After leaving school, Bobby worked as a trainee manager in a large department store, where he was soon trying out more impressions as John Inman and Mrs Slocombe. This led to his own prime-time Saturday night television shows, Bobby Davroid and Robert (Bobby). He later left the shop to pursue a full-time career in showbusiness. Bobby Davro made his TV debut in 1981, but his major breakthrough came with an appearance on Live at Her Majestys in 1983. This led to his own prime-time Saturday night television shows, Bobby Davro on The Box, Bobbys Sketch Pad and TV Weekly, which immediately topped the ratings for six consecutive years and made Bobby a household name throughout the country. In 1991, Bobby moved to the BBC and made three series, Public Enemy Number One, Rock with Laughter and Run the Risk. He returned to our screens in May 1997 as host of Yorkshire Televisions Winner Takes All for 65 programmes. In his rare moments away from the world of show business, Bobby likes nothing better than a game of golf, a game of snooker, a spot of fishing, or a glass of Chardonnay in front of the telly. Away from comedy, Bobby regularly treads the boards as an actor. In 2008, he appeared on our screens as Vince Vinnie Monks in Eastenders.
