After selling out more than 10 comedy nights in Bristol, What The Frock! is coming to Exeter! Headlined by the inimitable Jayde Adams (Time Out award nominee), the line-up also includes Alice Frick (‘exuberant and perfectly pitched’ – Three Weeks), Viv Groskop (‘my god girl, you’ve got some guts’ – Dame Judi Dench), and Laura Lexx (‘next generation Lucy Porter’ – Chortle).

Medicine is jolly serious, life and death, pain and suffering, pills and needles. But wouldn’t a trip to the doctor or a rush up to A+E be much more fun if it was a game? In his BRAND NEW show, Dr Phil turns the whole of medicine into a succession of games for you to play with your doctor.
Learn how to sing your symptoms, sniff a thermometer, diagnose your doctor, arm wrestle for drugs, get passed the bearded receptionist and get out of the NHS alive – all through Dr Phil’s highly subversive guerrilla tactics, some of which may be counter-productive. But at least they’re not boring...
Drunk folk singer, barefoot troubadour and cult legend Beans on Toast is about to embark on his biggest tour to date. Spanning from Aberdeen to Brighton and hitting as many places as possible on the way.

Fossil Collective, a two-piece from Leeds, consists of multi instrumentalists David Fendick and Jonny Hooker. Their first recordings saw them taking inspiration from classic albums by Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkel and suggested comparisons with more contemporary artists such as Fleet Foxes, Midlake and Bon Iver. But in truth their exquisitely structured songs and glorious, rich harmonies owe as much, if not more, to a solid English song tradition, and their material holds that distinct English quality that many North American artists hanker after.
Instrumental in kick-starting the original punk rock scene, The Damned have never been afraid to push themselves musically and throughout their years together have cruised through whatever areas of progressive, psychedelic, goth and pop rock that take their fancy. Smash it up with the original gothic punks – back with original members Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible.
