Performing to sell out venues for over 20 years, 'The Upbeat Beatles' have more than earned their reputation as the finest tribute to the music of the Beatles. Paying homage to the greatest band in history, 'The Upbeat Beatles' take you through the whole of the Beatles' career; from the early days of 'Beatlemania' (She Loves You, I Want To Hold Your Hand) across the Atlantic to conquer the USA (Help!, Ticket To Ride), through the 'Summer of Love' and Psychedelia (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Strawberry Fields Forever) then finally down the 'Long and Winding Road' to the end of the 1960's, for the Beatles' final live performance as a group (Get Back, Come Together). With authentic instruments, costume changes, multimedia, and featuring an ensemble cast of professional musicians with West End experience, this is a two-hour spectacular show not to be missed, for Beatles fans new and old!

In a world that’s imploding, an hour in the company of Allyson Smith is the only antidote you’ll ever need.  Brilliantly witty and wonderfully warm, she’ll guide you through her own personal Wonderland, down the rabbit hole of family foibles and the travelling tales of a people pleasing, polite but vicious Canadian. So if you hate infectious joy and razor sharp jokes, definitely don’t come. Otherwise, she’ll see you there!

At the start of the competition 3 cards are handed out to lucky members of the audience. Up to 10 acts then take to the stage and each try to do 5 minutes of material. If within the 5 minutes all 3 cards go up then the act has lost and must leave the stage. If the 3 cards stay down, that act has successfully ‘Beat The Frog’. They are then invited back to the stage for a clap off at the end of the night which will determine the overall winner. This is the most unpredictable comedy night in the north. The show where you are in control and you never know which future stars you will see!

The kids have gone, the house is quiet, and the spare bedroom has become a land grab. Freedom is scary, and Nina is quietly losing her mind while pretending everything is absolutely fine… until it isn’t. After a lemoncake incident, Nina is banned from using heavy machinery. What follows is flirting with priests, turning to witchcraft and recreational substances — and the realisation that empty nesting is less gentle clearing and more violent reinventing. Warm, sharp and self-aware, Nina Gilligan is back with a hilarious, unfiltered celebration of what it means to be a mature woman — standing in the wreckage of self-discovery and hoping there is a recipe that works. It’s not a breakdown. It’s a lemoncake moment.

An hour of stand-up about trying to make sense of things—family, belief, materialism, and whatever we’re all supposed to care about right now. My Way follows Emil Wakim as he circles questions of identity, guilt, and the quiet pressure of living in the 21st century, where everything feels urgent and nothing feels fully real. It’s about spirituality, an unraveling world, and the small, everyday things people do just to feel okay—shedding old beliefs, picking up new ones, and never quite trusting any of them.
