Returning from his critically acclaimed, sell-out Edinburgh 2014 show, Andrew Lawrence, heads back onto the road with Reasons To Kill Yourself.

Exeter Northcott Theatre has launched a club for people who’d love to go the theatre if they had someone to go with.
The Go Together Club is free to join and makes the whole experience of a theatre trip more enjoyable than going alone.
The club is the idea of the Northcott’s Development Committee, on which Tricia Cotton and Michael Terry serve as volunteers. It was trialled with a limited number of performances last autumn and proved so successful that the number of shows is being increased for the Spring 2015 Season.
Michael Terry says, “People are often reluctant...
