Julian Clary - The Joy of Mincing

Event Date: 
15/04/2016 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

Julian Clary, national trinket, author, TV and radio star is coming up your way...

The Joy of Mincing is Julian Clary's celebration of 30 years as a camp comedian. There is so much to tell you; the ups and downs of his sordid love life, the true and heart stopping account of how he saved Dame Joan Collins' life, and don't start him on the perils of his DIY electrical home enema kit.

On stage Julian will proudly wear his well-deserved M.B.E (Mincer of the British Empire). It was the last thing he expected to receive when he knelt down in front of Prince Charles in the...

Otway & Barrett

Event Date: 
13/04/2016 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

The partnership of John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett was never going to be smooth. Willy was a musical prodigy having learned to play at the age of four and mastering the guitar, piano, banjo and fiddle by the time Otway gave his first performance - drinking a bottle of ink in-one in the school playground, to an audience of 100 fellow school-children who did not believe anyone would go to such ridiculous extremes just to get attention.

It was only because they lived a hundred yards apart and that a fortune-teller (at the local Red-Cross bazaar in Aylesbury ) had told Otway that...

Mark Watson: I'm Not Here

Event Date: 
10/04/2016 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

Mark Watson (multi-award-winning star of numerous TV shows and his own cult Radio 4 series) returns with the follow-up show to his highly celebrated and successful 'Flaws'.

A seemingly minor problem at an airport is the starting point for a spiralling examination of identity in the digital age. But with an enormous number of jokes, luckily, as well as Watson's customary flailing, chaotic audience interactions and all sorts of other fun.

In short: if you like comedy, but you don't come and see this, you're acting very oddly.

Sorry 14+ only

Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

Feast of Fiddles embarks on its 23rd annual spring tour in 2016 and the band that has been variously likened to a "group of geography teachers" or "Bellowhead with bus passes!" doesn't seem to be slowing down any.

A band of musical friends that puts on a show of huge dynamic range performed with passion, joy and a liberal dose of fun. It all started at a folk club but has become a folk-rock institution with six CDs to their name, several festival appearances and sell out shows up and down the UK.

Typically, fiddlers Peter Knight (Steeleye Span), Chris Leslie (Fairport...

Jac van Steen, conductor

Quirine Viersen, cello

The Second Symphony, from its first performance to today, remains one of Sibelius’ most popular works. Its importance at the time was also due to the Finnish struggle for independence and early reactions to the work included some efforts to read into it an overtly nationalistic, patriotic programme. Much attention was focused on the heroic finale, of course, but also on the long, anguished slow movement, music of great passion and pain, surging along in dramatic waves toward a grim conclusion.
