“The “ultimate comedy show” from the outrageous comedian as Jimmy collates the very best jokes from his nine sell-out tours for a night of near-the-knuckle entertainment. Jimmy has been a stand-up regular for 15 years, playing nearly 2,000 shows to two million people across four continents. “Carr’s a skilled provocateur and ad libber, and the next cracking one-liner is never far away” (The Guardian).”

“MaMa AFR!KA  Think the kind of patchanka mash-up party music that sent Manu Chao and Mano Negro storming round the world, give it an Italian flavour and - presto! - you have Bologna’s livewire collective MaMaAFR!KA. These boys have been playing ‘music that connects people to source energy, magic and love’ all around Europe for three years and it’s about time you heard them here.”
