An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman got trapped in a joke…
‘How do we get out?’ Said the Englishman.
‘Just stop telling it’ said the Irishman.
‘But we’re too far in!’ said the Scotsman.
All three checked their phones for reception.
The Joke is a new play from comedy award winner Will Adamsdale – and company – exploring jokes and why we tell them, countries and why we need (and despair of) them, and life and why we bother. And tic tacs.
A woman takes to the stage. A man watches from the wings. They both wonder if their love will survive what’s about to happen.
Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me is an arresting physical endurance act that crashes headfirst into an impossibly true love story – and out the other side. It exposes how we perform our relationships amidst a reality that just won’t live up to what the movies promised.
Disarmingly honest and comically imagined, Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me pierces the bloody heart of our obsession with outlasting hardship. Intimate and startlingly immediate, it...

A founder member of Public Image Limited, Jah Wobble’s heavy, hypnotic bass lines defined the post punk era and have influenced many musicians over the last 30 years.
John Wardle met John Lydon, John Grey and Sid Vicious at Kingsway College, London, in 1973. It was Vicious who originally nicknamed John Jah Wobble” after a drunken binge, and would also loan him his first bass guitar.
During the heyday of punk rock in the mid to late 70s, Wardle earned himself the reputation of being something of a wildman. His original introduction to the bass stemmed from his long-term...
Blues is the teacher. Punk is the preacher. It’s all about emotion and energy, experience and raw talent, spirit and intellect.
Exciting things happen when these things collide. Bob Vennum and Lisa Kekaula made the BellRays happen in 1991 in East LA but they weren’t really thinking about any of this then. They wanted to play music and they wanted it to feel good. They wanted people to want to get up, to need to get up and check out what was going on. Form an opinion. React. So they took everything they knew about; the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, the Who, the Ramones, Billie Holiday,...

Playing ‘bourbon soaked gypsy blues bop ‘n’ stroll’, Urban Voodoo Machine are a seven to ten-piece band hailing from Dalston, East London.
In 2002 Paul-Ronney Angel had an idea. He’d lead a band. They’d dress in black and red. There would be a LOT of them. And their music would sound like a great night out in a dangerous part of town. From the get-go, The UVM fused junkyard blues and stinging rockabilly with mariachi horns, fiddles, sinister cabaret and punk rock tangos. ‘I wanted to play rock’n’roll music with a different instrumentation,’ says Angel, ‘taking inspiration from...
