| Our TV headliner this month is the sensational Sean Collins, a Canadian comic who performs all over the world, and headlines the biggest clubs in the UK. You'll recognise him from the telly!
Sean honed his unique, storytelling style over 18 years. In 2000, his hard work and determination led to his receiving two prestigious Canadian Comedy Award nominations for 'Best Male Stand Up' and for his half hour 'Comic's Comedy Special' on CBC.
Fuelled by the desire to play to a more international audience, Sean left Canada for the UK and, within the five years that he has resided in Britain, he has written and performed three highly successful Edinburgh Festival shows, receiving rare, five star reviews and one of only a few ‘Best of Fest’ accolades.
Opening the show is loveable welsh man David Arnold. An act who never fails to deliver a well-rounded and polished performance that has his audience laughing throughout and is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting new acts on the comedy circuit, with his enthusiastic, engaging and endearing style.
Sean is also supported by the sensational Linda Larkin too! Funny’s Funny Female Comedian of the Year 2012; and runner-up in the NATY New Act Of The Year competition in 2013, and third placed in the Leicester Square Old Comedian Of The Year competition in 2015,

| A touching tribute to the late, lovely Joyce Grenfell – comedienne and people observer extraordinaire. Bournemouth based actor Trisha Lewis has ‘been’ Joyce for 2 decades and received brilliant reviews! ‘Thank you for bringing Joyce into the room’ being a recent heartfelt reaction to the show. Whether you recall Joyce or know Trisha, you will love these funny, touching observations and the way they are delivered – especially the nursery school teacher – ‘don’t do that George’. Returning after her last near sell out of this show - A delight not to be missed. |

| Martin Hudson, Master of Wine, will take you on a tasting of the different wines, why particular wines match certain food groups and an appreciation of what makes a good quality wine. There is not a requirement of prior knowledge all we ask is for you to come and learn and enjoy the evening. It will start with a glass of fizz and then move onto a tutored tasting of four pairs of wines to highlight key elements in the wine and finishing with a sweet or fortified wine.
All profits from this evening will go towards a defibrillator at Shelley Theatre. |
