Since they teamed up as a cabaret duo a couple of years ago, Kit Hesketh Harvey (Just A Minute, Kit and the Widow) and his new fella, pianist, composer and Hugh Grantalike James McConnel have stormed in cabaret, from the Edinburgh and Aldeburgh Festivals to international tours as paid escorts to Joan Rivers.

As a songwriting partnership they won the Vivian Ellis Award and went on to study under Stephen Sondheim. They have written cabaret songs for the likes of Barry Humphries, Mary Archer and Janie Dee. Having enjoyed sell-out seasons in the burgeoning cabaret scene in the West End...

Methane bubbles are set alight to make fireballs, hydrogen balloons explode and rockets are fired into the audience. Stand back and cover your ears – theatre just got dangerously exciting!

I have this little sister Lola. She is funny…

Don’t miss everyone’s favourite brother and sister, Charlie and Lola, in their extremely everso wonderful stage show! The stars of the hit BBC TV series and books by Lauren Child are brought to life by a magical mix of puppets, live action and music.

Pam has sold millions of books, CDs, and DVDs over the years, and she is still a regular on TV and Radio, on programmes such as Just A Minute,...

One of the most popular G&S operas, dealing with the age old conundrum of love between social classes, HMS Pinafore has infectious tunes and a beautifully constructed libretto – a perfect match for Sasha Regan's inimitable style, fresh, fast, inventive and fun.

Performances 7.30pm daily with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30pm.

Tickets: £11.50-£21.50
