Rosie Holt: That’s Politainment!

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

The worse the political career, the more lucrative the subsequent entertainment opportunities. Matt Hancock may have slaughtered millions but now he’s making a killing. So can Rosie Holt‘s viral hit MP follow “politainers” Dorries, Farage and Rees-Mogg and leap from the pages of Hansard to Heat? Following a hugely successful Edinburgh Fringe season, Rosie takes this brand-new show on the road, to tightrope the thin line between politics and entertainment. Rosie is an acclaimed comedian, actor and satirist, whose popular videos on social media have achieved more than 6.5 million views. She is the host of the podcast Noncensored, and has been seen/heard on The Russell Howard Hour (Sky Max), and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, DM’s Are Open, and Ashley Blaker: 6.5 Children, among many other credits.

Punt And Dennis

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt are back on tour for the first time in 10 years. Older but not really much wiser, they are returning to what they do best; sitting in traffic jams wondering if a different route would have been better, and then in the evening, presenting their new live show. What have they learned from a decade of following the news for Mock The Week and The Now Show?  What wisdom has experience taught them?  And have they learned any new jokes?  Let’s hope so. They promise they have.

The Mikado – Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Group

The Old Savoy - The home of The Deco Theatre Abington Square, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 4AE

“In our 70th anniversary year the Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Group are thrilled to be returning to the stage with a brand-new production of The Mikado. This perennial family favourite was the group’s first production, and it seems only fitting for us to be starting our next 70 years with the same show. The Mikado is, without doubt, the most popular of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operettas, and it is no wonder as the story skilfully combines colourful characters, memorable music, with an underlying tale of power, corruption, love, betrothal and sycophancy……

Ray Bradshaw: Doppelginger

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Multi award winning comedian Ray Bradshaw is forever being told “you look just like my mate…” where ever he goes.  It’s been happening for years and he’s worried about it.  Either someone is cloning generic bald men or, there’s a ginger bearded bald man out there who’s doing a bad job of stalking Ray.  In his brand-new show Doppelginger, Ray is going to use the latest in genetic research (the internet) to try and put an end to this once and for all.  He’s on a quest to find the person who looks most like him. Doppelginger is a funny heartwarming comedy show about a silly search for a man with an orange beard who’s follicly challenged.  If you have a bald, ginger bearded friend in their 30s (true at time of writing), then bring them along.  You never know – they could be The One. Ray’s last show Deaf Com One was a huge success and sold out theatres across the world. The show was all about growing up with deaf parents and as a result every show of Doppelginger will have a BSL interpreter. Ray has previously supported John Bishop on his UK arena tour after John described him as ‘one of the best...
