Event: Rich Lansley: A Hundred Small Things - 8pm - A show for people who appreciate the small things in life Following the success from his previous solo shows - The Wait (2019), Leaves Waves Sky (2022) and The Ground The Sky (2024) Rich Lansley presents A Hundred Small Things. A comedy/theatre/spoken-word show celebrating the overlooked, the ordinary, and the tiny miracles hiding in plain sight. It's about zooming in on life's details. The mundane objects, fleeting moments, and quiet joys that hold unexpected depth. The show is a mix of humour, whimsy, and heartfelt reflection, aiming to turn the audience's perspective on the everyday into something extraordinary. "The goal here is to explore the small, quiet moments in modern life. To capture the magic in the mundane." Written to charm and sooth. Rich Lansley's words are calm but strong, like waves of an ocean just willing you to dip a little deeper. Described as "poetry of kindness", his performance is one of humour and heart exploring human nature and the world surrounding us. Rich has performed all over the country at festivals and shows and notably supported Harry Baker.

Event: Ardal O'Hanlon: Not Himself - 7.30pm - After an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal reflects on who he is as a man and a comedian. He examines his own ethnic and religious background. And thinks twice about the very core of his identity as a voice of reason. Is everything a big lie? With no major trauma of his own to draw on for material, apart from the drag of getting older, he also turns his gaze outwards at the joys and follies of contemporary life. Towel Animals? A.I.? Chair Yoga? Cauliflower as a main course? Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes. No current idiocy is left un-examined. With a highly developed sense of the ridiculous, and proper comedy bones, Not Himself, is a testament to the healing power of humour. And the joy of jokes.

Event: Ross Noble: Cranium of Curiosities - 7.30pm - Roll up, roll up! Or use a more conventional form of transport to get to the show. It's entirely your choice. Unless you accidentally become trapped in a barrel*. Should that happen, then just find an incline and start rolling to see the one and only Ross Noble! He is the Wizard of Waffle, The Rambler Royale, The Noodlers' Noodler, and he's back live on stage to tour a tornado of tangents. What the show will be about is anybody's guess, but that's all part of the fun when you look inside his Cranium of Curiosities. *We strongly advise trying not to get trapped in a barrel before or during the performance. Despite the expression "barrel of laughs", it may impede your enjoyment of the show.
