Geoff Norcott is a rarity - a working-class, right-leaning, well-meaning, leave voting stand-up comedian.
As seen on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week and Question Time, his "sharp take on modern politics" (Sunday Times) has seen him invited on to Question Time and a regular on The Mash Report (BBC).
His unique brand of provocative stand-up makes you feel like he's your laddish friend – regardless of which side you're on. He gently offends everyone equally so that we’re brought together and united in the stupidity of our own hangups.
"An absolute tonic" ★★★★ The Telegraph
"A right laugh...from the hitherto little-known loveable end of the conservative
spectrum." The Guardian
"Objectively funny regardless of your political leaning" ★★★★ Fest
"Master of anecdotal story-telling" ★★★★ Edinburgh Festival Magazine
"Genuinely has something original to say" ★★★★ The New European
"By comedy standards, Norcott is an out and out rebel." Daily Express |

Join us on a journey through the music of wartime Britain 1939-45. The Red Fez Orchestra take a trip down memory lane, celebrating 75 years since V.E. Day.
The evening will feature British jazz and dance band music from the likes of Al Bowlly, Jack Hylton, Vera Lynn and many more. Apparently the Americans have some music of their own, we might feature some of that too.

A powerful new play – a ghost story told with intriguing dialogue and well-known English folk songs – followed by a vibrant post-show discussion, and singalong of some of your favourite old tunes.
It’s a brilliant and touching story, set up a dead-end lane in deep woodland where something terrible happened a decade before. Every January, Lydia Peck – a young woman with the voice of an angel – comes with her mother to sit quietly and remember … This year, her mother is ill and she comes alone.
Perhaps that’s her mistake?
Other successful Gleadall & Mosse shows include ‘Lady of Jazz’, ‘Shakespeare’s Lost Women’, ‘Poisoned Beds’ and ‘The Highwayman’.

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! |

Dirt In The Gate Movies Proudly Presents -
"You've got red on you!"
It's often said that the true character of a man is revealed in times of crisis and for likable, lovelorn loser Shaun (Simon Pegg), that moment of reckoning comes when the dead rose from their slumber to feast on the flesh of the living.
A hapless electronics store employee who spends his spare time at the local pub with his roommate, Ed (Nick Frost), Shaun's life falls apart when he is dumped by his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield), and his obnoxious stepfather, Philip (Bill Nighy), berates him for not being more attentive to his mother Barbara (Penelope Wilton).
Things take a turn for the worse when the dead return to stake their claim on the Earth, and through the chaos that follows it's up to Shaun to keep his cool and prove himself once and for all by successfully rescuing Liz and his mother. |

Daphnes Flight are: Melanie Harrold * Chris While * Julie Matthews * Helen Watson * Christine Collister
It was 1995 and five friends found themselves at Cambridge Festival. They decided to sing some songs together ... magic happened and Daphne's Flight took off.
Now, two decades later, five of the best singer/songwriters of their generation are gathering again – older, wiser and twice as powerful.
In 2017 they released their new album on the Fledgling Label on CD and Vinyl 'Knows Time, Knows Change'. 2018 brought a sensational new live album.
Daphne's Flight will be playing the Shelley Theatre while touring the UK throughout in May 2020 with a stunning brand new album. |
