Jimmy Carr's Funny Business

The man described as ‘the hardest working man in comedy’ is to appear in Exeter.

Jimmy Carr brings his new show ‘Funny Business’ to the Riverside Leisure Centre on Saturday 22 August.

His long tours are legendary and each new tour is greeted with critical acclaim as he appears live throughout the UK. This Riverside show is being promoted by the team at Exeter Corn Exchange because they couldn’t fit Jimmy’s audience into their own venue.

Granny Eyeball

Venue: 
Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

Granny Eyeball doesn’t like people. Generally speaking, people don’t like her back.

(Actually, they’re not too keen on her front, sides or top either... and definitely not her bottom!)

Locked away in a ramshackle farmhouse on the outskirts of Ballskirk Joanna Gormley dreams of a better life, free from the clutches of her wicked guardian - the dreaded Granny Eyeball.

Wandering Tiger presents a riotous, anarchic show that is guaranteed to appeal to the whole family, complete with singing dinner ladies and white knuckle car chases.
