Lloyd is back on the road for his third UK stand up tour. It’s been a busy few years for Grimsby’s favourite (for now, anyway) comedian/choirboy. He’s recently been supporting Jack Whitehall on tour, and you may have also seen him in on 8 out of 10 cats (Channel 4), Can You Beat The Bookies? (BBC), Soccer AM (Sky One), Flinch (Netflix), Live At The Comedy Store (Comedy Central), Roast Battle (Comedy Central), Songs of Praise (BBC2) ((lol)).
'This is an hour of uplifting stand-up that’ll have you smiling for days. A warm, relatable and hilarious show' - The Sunday Post
'Disarmingly good’ - Dominic Maxwell, The Times
‘Lloyd Griffith has to be my favourite find from this show. It's not often you get a comic and a choirboy rolled into one, and he's seriously talented in both areas’ - Leicester Mercury
Catch Lloyd at the Shelley Theatre on Thurs 27th & Fri 28th February, and 2nd April.

From a conventional upbringing to global notoriety via The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp was one of the most memorable figures of the twentieth century. Openly gay as early as the 1930s, Quentin spent decades being beaten up on London’s streets for his refusal to be anything less than himself.
Packed with witty gems on everything from cleaning to marriage, Naked Hope is a glorious, uplifting celebration of the urgent necessity to be your true self.
Mark Farrelly’s West End credits include Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opposite Matthew Kelly.
Directed by EastEnders star Linda Marlowe.

Let the beaky boy from Friday Night Dinner (Channel 4) and Plebs (ITV2) tell you the story of how he spent his life trying to avenge the theft of his foreskin.

'A striking show, raising questions and laughter in equal measure.' (Guardian).”
'A thoughtful and often hilarious take on a disturbing subject.' (List).”
‘This is essentially an hour’s worth of dick jokes. It is funny, though.’ (Metro).”
As seen as the drunkest guy on Drunk History (Comedy Central), sassing Chris Ramsey on Roast Battle (Comedy Central) and getting overly competitive in the pub quiz (The Alwyne Castle).

Two out-of-work actors - the anxious, luckless Marwood (Paul McGann) and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail (Richard E. Grant) - spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty (Richard Griffiths), they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.
We are delighted to bring Withnail & I to The Shelley Theatre from an original theatrical 35mm print.
A vast array of beverages will be available at the well-stocked Shelley Theatre Bar! |

Buddy Holly & The Crickets are brought back to life as they looked and sounded on
their first tour of the UK in 1958, by the outstanding Spencer J & the Copy-Cat
Crickets. Taking you back to the age of the soda shop, the drive through diner, and the
record hop, this is a non-stop rock 'n' roll concert straight from the fifties.
Playing the songs that Buddy recorded such as 'Peggy Sue', 'That'll Be The Day', 'Oh Boy' and
'Heartbeat', and also other rock n roll hits such as 'La Bamba', 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Rip
It Up' and 'Shake Rattle & Roll' which Buddy performed time and again.
This isn't just a great night, it's 'Buddy' brilliant!

The remarkable intimate solo performances Martin gives go from strength to strength - every gig
is a masterclass. He travels throughout the UK and beyond, giving audiences
passion, sorrow, love, beauty and tragedy through his playing.
Equally at home playing English traditional folk, American folk and blues and his own compositions, Martin is acclaimed as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players, and a fine banjo-picker to boot, his solo shows bear witness to an artist at the very top of his game.
Whether interpreting material from tradition or singing his own potent self-penned songs,
Simpson is a remarkable storyteller: captivating and profoundly moving. His own songwriting
produced the poignant ‘Never Any Good’, from Prodigal Son - 2007’s Folk Album of the Year. |
