Jonny and Paddy and back on the road again! Bringing their brand new show 'Dance Like it Never Happened' on tour. And they've missed you all! So what is this new hilarious show about? Grief. Its about Grief. In 2019, we lost another election, our place in Europe and, worst of all, a dearly beloved friend. We are no strangers to grief, but it hurt. Then in 2020, we all lost the world as we knew it. Our decades-long system of "dealing with emotions" (ignore them, drink heavily and make jokes) finally broke. We finally broke. In their most honest and personal show yet, Jonny & The Baptists learn to accept and engage with their grief, telling the story of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance through their trademark blend of silly, joyful songs, deadpan stand-up and riotous storytelling. Finding meaning, humour and beauty in the hardest part of life. So come and see us, have a laugh and maybe a cry - but definitely a laugh.

'It's like the sun casts a spell, some hypnotic solar shite, and suddenly ordinary people dae terrible things.' As PC Nicky McCreadie responds to a 'mass brawl' on The Meadows, it's not just the neds she has to worry about.

It's been a long time since things have been right between best pals Holly and Mikey, who all but disappeared during the pandemic. Holly still hasn't forgiven him for being AWOL when her mum was dying, so when Mikey demands she return the Maroon 5 CD he leant her over a decade ago, she's not best pleased. Anger turns into concern though when she finds out why Mikey has been hiding away. He's convinced he's a modern day Nostradamus. Holly thinks Mikey needs an urgent medical intervention but Mikey hasn't got time for that. He's seen a vision of a catastrophe worse that anything that's come before. and he needs Holly's help to stop it. Fruitcake is France Poet's romantic comedy for the existentially weary.

Be proud. Be who you are. Be more penguin. Here’s what you need to know… I am Hamzeh. My favourite shisha flavour is double apple. I love dancing. Here’s what’s going to happen… There will be loud music. A wedding. My first time on a plane. A lot of moonlight. This is the story of my life (so far). People have a lot of questions. The answer is “Yes. I can do anything.” Full of humour and beauty, Hamzeh Al Hussien’s extraordinary story takes you on a personal tour of the places he knows best. His village in the Syrian mountains, Za’atarirefugee camp in Jordan, Gateshead (UK) and inside his mind: a place full of music, dancing, fantasies and marbles. Hamzeh invites the audience to be his childhood friends, to hold up the moon to light his way, and into his dreams, brushing the dust from his clothes…and taking the stage.
