Nel

Event Date: 
12/05/2015 - 7:30pm to 16/05/2015 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
The BikeShed Theatre

Meet Nel; a quirky, shy foley artist, who, for the first time in her life finds herself completely alone. Her cat’s died and she accidentally poisoned her fish. She needs a friend. But she is afraid. And finding a friend in today’s world is more than a little stressful. Especially for someone who spends her day recording sounds with vegetables in a box. She needs help.

Struggling she starts to steal from her filmic world in a bid to connect with others. A world of car chases, explosions and dramatic underscoring. What could possibly go wrong?

Returning to The Barnfield Theatre following its hugely successful debut in October 2014, the show includes some new acts and never seen before collaborations. There are eleven performers in all for a ticket price of only £12.50. It’s a fast moving, unique show which is fun...

A Wee Ken to Remember

Versatile singer/organist, John Shuttleworth, has a dilemma: he wanted to tell the audience all about his most memorable weekends in his exciting new show – A Weekend to Remember. But next-door neighbour and sole agent, Ken Worthington has thwarted John’s plans, by cocking up the artwork of the show’s poster. ‘Weekend’ has become ‘Wee Ken’ and there’s nothing John can do about it. He is now duty-bound to steer the evening towards a celebration of the diminuitive impressario’s life in ‘A WEE KEN to Remember’.

And so we learn of Ken’s period as a beatnik...

“Russell Crowe may not be available and their budget is limited, but they are determined it will be a show you’ll never forget...”

This February South West based comedy duo Spitz & Co return to Exeter’s The Bike Shed Theatre for what the theatre’s co-founder David Lockwood has described as “the funniest thing he’s ever seen.” A big claim, but one that appears to be echoed by audiences and critics alike and culminating in the production winning the Critic’s Choice Award at the 2014 Exeter ignite Festival.

In 2000...

Richard Herring: Lord of the Dance Settee

Event Date: 
22/02/2015 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Northcott Theatre, Exeter

After covering weighty issues like death, love, religion and spam javelins, "The King of Edinburgh" (THE LIST) is in a frivolous mood with this show about daftness, whether the term "cool comedian" is an oxymoron, bouncing joyously on the sofa and how Herring's whole career is a failed attempt to top a piece of visual slapstick comedy he came up with at 16. Can he revisit the joke thirty years on or will it smash his old bones?
