Paul Kerensa, British Comedy Award nominee/BBC writer ('Not Going Out', 'Miranda') hilariously uncovers what every nation thinks of their neighbours. We know what Scots think of the English, and English think of the French... Well did you know Dutchmen think Germans are bicycle-thieves, Latvians swear in Russian, and Finns are apparently introverted sauna-lovers? Includes the end of the 'Pole, German and Russian' joke, and why Albanian travel adverts say: "Come travel to Albania, your car has already arrived." "Crams as many gags into the first five minutes as in whole hours at other shows... Wildly talented" Chortle |

Normal can be extraordinary. Look in detail at an everyday life and you can find art. There is beauty and inspiration right under the couch. Herald Angel Award winning performer Bob Karper has taken stories from the lives of his friends, his American family and strangers he’s met, and mixed them with film, slides and live original music, played on a self-built piano. Parka is a warm, funny, moving show about self-consciousness and the nature of love that makes audience members think, feel and leave delighted. “Karper’s show feels like a late-night chat with a stranger in a bar. He is a wistful yet unsentimental storyteller with a beguiling and idiosyncratic style… An engagingly intimate portrait of relationships that makes love seem a more complicated business than ever.” The Guardian |

A hard-edged but comic commentary on the American political machine, The Fix opens with the presidential candidate dying unexpectedly while with his mistress. At the funeral, his widow encourages her brother-in-law to mentor her son so that he might follow in his father's footsteps and make a run at the presidency. The scheming duo will stop at nothing to see him elected. The Fix will convince you of the power of spin in American politics past, present, and future. The Fix features a wonderful broadway score with rock and gospel influences, and comic lyrics from the writers of Witches Of Eastwick. |
