The Scousewives are back!

This hilarious hit comedy play tells the tale of four ordinary scouse women living in four terraced house’s in the back streets of Liverpool, we are given an insight into the lives and trials of some of the occupants in the days leading up to and following the wedding of Vanessa (Charlie Griffiths), but this is no ordinary wedding, the big day will take place in Walton Jail... to a prisoner she has never met!

Newcomer to the terrace, Clumsy Trisha (Jodie Nesbitt), tries desperately to fit-in with her new neighbours.

Meanwhile, resident at number 2, Lily (Lynn Francis), is currently in an abusive relationship, when she accidentally kills her husband, a whole string of hilarious co-incidences conspire to divert suspicion away from this down-trodden character.

In ‘GEORGE EGG: DIY CHEF’ a health scare sees George banned him from the family kitchen, but relocated to the garden shed his imagination and resourcefulness lead him to build an improvised kitchen there instead.

Jason Manford: Muddle Class

He’s back! It’s been a busy few years for Jason since his last smash-hit stand up show but fans of his Absolute Radio show will know this nationally acclaimed comedian hasn’t changed a bit. 'Muddle Class' promises to feature a wealth of new material about Jason growing up ‘working class’ then finding, over the years, that part of him has become ‘middle class’ - causing much confusion! Delivered with Jason’s amiable charm and captivating wit, this is a show not to be missed.

Jason said: “Somebody said to me on my Facebook fan page, 'it's been ages since you've toured'. I thought 'no way, it was last year wasn't it? Anyway, long story short, they were right, it was years ago! I just got fooled cos I've been on tour doing musicals and the last tour is repeated on Dave ja Vu 13 times a day! So I’ve been putting some stuff together, looking at my life and how it's changed over the years, how the world has changed and how my parents haven't changed a bit! It's going to be a great tour and I can't wait to see you there.”

‘8 out of 10 Cats’ (Channel 4), ‘The Nightly Show’ (ITV1), ‘Sunday Night at the Palladium’ (ITV1), ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC One), ‘Have I Got News For You’, (BBC One), QI (BBC Two) and ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ (ITV1) have all helped establish Jason as a nationally known comic.

“Effortlessly entertaining” **** Evening Standard

“He's blessed with the sort of laid-back charm and sharp turn of phrase you can't manufacture” **** Daily Telegraph

“Anyone who has never experienced Jasper Carrott, either live or on television will not be disappointed by this show. Complete with his guitar, this Carrott is certainly not past his sell-by date, Alistair McGowan’s performance towards the end of his set in which he displayed linguistic genius as the multi-lingual ‘Roger Federer’ is superb” The Reviews Hub

“Jasper has this knack of being able to continue – and add to – a sketch so that it gets funnier by the second….my head felt like it was going to burst and I was laughing so much that, once again, I could hardly breathe.” Kevin Gover Winchester Today

“I desperately wanted to see Alistair McGowan do his impressions…..He’s one of my favourite comedians – and he didn’t disappoint.” Kevin Gover Winchester Today

Interactive Theatre's globetrotting show is truly quite legendary, selling out at venues like Edinburgh Fringe, Raffles Singapore and Sydney Opera House. It returns to the Floral Pavilion in 2018, but be warned: it'll sell out here too, so early booking is essential!

When the audience become diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant and are served by Basil, Sybil and Manuel, pretty much anything can happen – especially with two-thirds of the show improvised.

The fun starts as guests wait to be seated, then hurtles along in a tour de force of gags, shambolic service and a ‘70s-style 3-course meal. Expect the unexpected in this ‘two-hour eat, drink and laugh sensation!’ (Daily Telegraph).

Born in 1997, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a fully immersive, highly improvised and site-specific piece of comedy theatre that continues to be acclaimed around the world by audiences and critics alike. It opened a residency in London’s West End in 2012 and continues there still, ranking consistently high in TripAdvisor’s top London theatre listings.Ten teams of cast now tour the world virtually non-stop.
