Extended following two sold out runs! Dave Gorman, the man behind Dave TV’s hit show Modern Life Is Goodish as well as Are You Dave Gorman? and Googlewhack Adventure, announces the final leg of his hit show, Powerpoint To The People. The ‘high priest of the comedy Powerpoint talk’ (The Times) is touring again – as much as anything to demonstrate that a powerpoint presentation doesn’t have to involve a man in a grey suit standing behind a lectern and saying ‘next slide please’. We’ve all had enough of that, so let’s put it all behind us and never speak of it again – there are far more important things to analyse. Well… they’re more important in Dave’s head anyway.
Endorsed by Rod’s own family, Some Guys Have All The Luck – The Rod Stewart Story is back in theatres in 2023 with its hotly anticipated new production. Direct from the West End, the show brings to the stage an incredible live concert celebrating one of rock music’s most influential icons, Rod Stewart, and takes you on a musical journey that spans six decades from humble beginnings in the R ‘n’ B clubs of the 1960s to world-famous rock sensation. Widely acknowledged as the UK’s best, frontman Paul Metcalfe is breath-taking as Rod and captures all the excitement, energy and charisma of the legendary performer including the phenomenal vocals, infamous moves and swaggering showmanship that have made Rod one of the most successful artists of all time. 2023’s new production showcases a brand-new set list, a new stage set, an even bigger light show and a world class live band.
The legendary Canadian superstar returns with a killer new hour! A master of his craft; unabashed and mischievous with an inate ability to connect to audiences. This is a a show for iGens, Millennials, Gen X’s, Baby Boomers and beyond. Join Tom Stade as he toys with the complexities of our ever-changing world; muses on societal conundrums and navigates his way around progressiveness and pronouns – not to mention 27 years of marriage and adult kids who refuse to respect him (and like to remind him just how dumb they think he is). Serially hilarious, he’s wowed sell-out audiences across the UK for the past two decades and remains one of the most compelling and instinctive stand-ups around. Ladies, gentlemen, and non-binaries, please welcome to the stage, the one and only Tom Stade.
After dismantling a barge, doxxing himself in the Doubletree, and blanking on the 1992 Ipswich Town crest (Taskmaster, Off Menu, University Challenge), Ivo Graham ropes his audience into more chaos against the clock. “Humiliation’s your thing, right?” his brother asked him at Christmas, and, with the full existential ramifications of that still being processed, he’s lining up a show with more risk than ever before (NB: previous shows have broadly been quite low risk). Expect quizzes, tangents, and fluster. Best Show/Joke nominee 2019.

Lilies on the Land is an extraordinary piece of theatre telling the story of Britain’s Women’s Land Army of World War II. Based on hundreds of actual letters with Original Land Girls, the play focuses on four very different women who all come together during Britain’s darkest hour determined to “do their bit” for King and Country. Working long hours, in clothes full of mice, the bonds formed during the war would last a lifetime as women’s stories unfold. Not only do they have to learn the ways of working on the land the hard way, but they have to deal with being far from home and their loved ones, as outsiders in unfamiliar circumstances. At times hilarious, at times heartbreaking, this story of some of the country’s unsung heroes is a wonderfully rich piece of theatre.

Phil McIntyre Live proudly presents Markus Birdman: Platinum – Star of Britain’s Got Talent 2023 June 5th 2021, I had a stroke. It was my second. I found myself in hospital, mid lockdown, with no visitors allowed. I’ve permanently lost half my eyesight. One night I went to the toilet and sat down on another naked blind man, already there. I was too blind to see him. He was too blind to stop me! So it’s not ALL doom! I’d like to tell you about it. Not to create feelings of pity toward me, more a sense of awe & fawning admiration. I have had a unique experience about a topic, often sniggered over, but I’m keen to make you laugh, but also to raise a little awareness. Well done me! (Ahem!) Markus Birdman has thundered back into comedy with his Edinburgh Fringe show earning him a nomination for the 2023 Chortle Awards. He has also recently written for Jayde Adams and supported Jason Manford at the Palladium.
