It’s a night of Old Skool disco! with Bernie Keith – Handbag Heaven – Doors 7pm fun starts 7.30pm

An hilarious evening of world-class stand-up from live comedy’s internationally acclaimed Irish master! You’ve seen him on The Royal Variety Performance, Live At The Apollo, Sunday Night At The Palladium, Conan O’Brien or perhaps online where he has clocked up hundreds of millions of views of his comedy clips… but NOTHING beats seeing Jimeoin live. Award-winning, with a wide appeal and a cheeky, no-gimmicks and superbly observed sense of humour, Jimeoin has audiences in stitches across the UK, Europe, USA and of his adopted homeland of Australia. Catch his brilliant smash-hit Jimeoin: The Craic! show on tour at Royal & Derngate. The press say that he’s at the very top of the game – and we absolutely agree! It’s a great fun night out and we recommend you book fast.

Oxymoron* Luverly! Stephen K Amos is back with a brand new show, after treading the boards of London’s West End in the smash hit musical My Fair Lady, playing the iconic role of Alfred P. Doolittle. What a mad couple of years it’s been! How did you get through it all? Stephen’s solution… find the funny. The opportunity in the crisis, the joy in the sadness, the wisdom of fools, after all comedy equals tragedy. Join him for an hour of solid jokes and guaranteed belly laughs. Fresh from a sell-out tour in Australia and the US and as seen on QI and Pilgrimage: The Road To Rome, The Project and Live At The Apollo. So what are you waiting for? He’s awfully good! *A serious comedian
