At the age of eight Jools Holland could play the piano fluently by ear, and by the time he reached his early teens he was proficient and confident enough to be appearing regularly in many of the pubs in South East London and the East End Docks. At the age of 15, Jools was introduced to Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford he joined Squeeze, followed by Gilson Lavis shortly afterwards (Gilson had already played with, among others, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, and Max Wall) - who was Jools’ drummer until he retired in 2024. Up The Junction and Cool For Cats gave Squeeze meteoric success and their popularity rapidly extended to America, where their tour included performances at New York's Madison Square Garden. In 1987, Jools formed The Jools Holland Big Band - comprising himself and now retired drummer Gilson Lavis. This has gradually metamorphosed into the current 19-piece Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, which consists of pianist, organist, drummer, three female vocals, guitar, bass guitar, two tenor saxophones, two alto saxophones, baritone saxophone, three trumpets, and three trombones. They have been touring annually for over 3 decades. Jools was asked in 1992 to host a new music programme for BBC2, which combined his talent and experience as a musician with his skills as a TV presenter. This was Later... with Jools Holland. The show has reawakened the innovative spirit of The Tube and will soon be embarking on its 67th series, whilst Jools’ Annual Hootenanny will celebrate its 33rd year. Fans will be thrilled to hear that the shows will once again feature the incredible Ruby Turner, the Boogie Woogie Queen, as well as the outstanding vocals of Louise Marshall, and Sumudu Jayatilaka. Featuring special guest appearance from Pauline Black from the Selecter. Pauline has been described as the ""Queen of Ska"" and has recently been awarded the Outstanding Contribution To Music Award at the 2026 Association of Independent Music Awards. Together with the skilful musicianship of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Jools Holland will be performing songs from throughout his career.

Vasily Petrenko, ConductorIsata Kanneh-Mason, Piano Tchaikovsky Francesca da Rimini Mozart Piano Concerto No.27 Walton Symphony No.1 If you love Tchaikovsky’s passionate, ravishing writing, then his illustration of Francesca da Rimini from Dante’s Inferno is a must-hear. His hellish textures are chilling, the fiendish tarantella is captivating, and Francesca’s love theme is one of Tchaikovsky’s most gorgeous melodies. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.27 in B flat was written shortly before the composer’s untimely death. Predominantly major keys are subtly coloured with minor to create an extraordinary sense of poignancy, and the music’s skipping rhythms are tinged with a wistful intensity which suggests Mozart somehow knew his end was in sight. It will be a moving showcase for acclaimed pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. Rounding out the concert is Walton’s Symphony No.1; he wanted to blow his contemporaries out of the symphonic water, and with this volcanic eruption of dark, sensual power, he did just that.

Please note: this show was originally announced to take place at South Street Arts Centre, but will now happen at the new Hexagon Studio. Sofie won Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival in 2015 and she thinks you all stopped talking about it too soon. Remember TV? Yeah, she did that too. You may know her from that, but it's more likely you know her from the internet, where she's been both funny and angry at times. Sofie is from Denmark, but learned English at the age of 4, just so she could go to the UK in 2027 and do stand-up. Anyways, despite being constantly online from 2016-2024, she never saw it coming that the fascists would be taking over. She did so many feminist tweets to prevent it. How can this be happening? Sofie has always tried to do the right thing, but now she has to ask herself: Did she do the right thing? And what will she say, with her last remaining freedom of speech? It better be good. She better be good. Age guidance: 16+Running time: 65-75 mins / interval / 30-40 mins approx.

Are you ready for some filth? Good! I’m going to be talking about things on this tour that would get me flogged in Dubai. And pointed at in Peckham. I have decided to open up to the public and reveal all. No more hiding behind a stage persona – I’m going to be myself. The question is will you be able to tell the difference? In this show I will reveal intimate secrets of my life and share the traumas that have led me to lead the life of a camp comic and renowned homosexual.

Count Arthur Strong continues on for one last time, as he says what just might be his final goodbye, to whoever’s listening. Don’t miss this potentially wonderful event.

The time has come for critically acclaimed musical comedy duo Flo & Joan to write another bio as they extend their 2026 tour ‘With Feeling’ into 2027. “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 ‘is comedy?’ in the sharp-tongued, deadpan way they have become accustomed to. As 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.

In comedy, ‘killing’ is a good thing. Everywhere else, it’s frowned upon.Jimmy has confirmed kills in over 50 countries and on 13 specials. Eyewitnesses describe it as ‘a brutal, hilarious, life affirming night out’. The brand-new show is packed with fast, dark one-liners about all kinds of terrible things. But they are just jokes. They’re not the terrible things.Jokes are like magnets. They attract some people and repel others. You can joke about anything, but not with anyone. If you’re attracted to Jimmy’s brand of comedy and think you can take the jokes, then by all means come out and play. If you think you’d be offended, then stay away. At this point, being offended at a Jimmy Carr show is like buying a ticket to a horror movie and complaining you got scared. Don’t be a dummy. Look, if you’ve read this far, we know you want to come. So hurry up and buy a ticket. It’ll sell out, so don’t miss out.Please note, a £3 ticket commission fee is included in the price of the ticket.

Chewing the fat with smarter laughter in a jolly, jovial, joyous, jape jamboree (there I said it. Can you?), Stephen K Amos finds the funny in how simple misunderstandings can lead to unexpected consequences, the good, the bad and the outright hilarious. And how some people might just need a pie to the face. An hour of guaranteed side-splitting belly laughs to give your abs a workout. How could you hate it?
