Events on Sunday 20th January

“Come join us for our first show of the year, when our theme is going to be 'New Year, New Me'! Stories about renewal, new beginnings and new adventures. Makeovers, refurbishments and a fresh lick of paint. New goals, new achievements and new hopes and dreams. Out with the old and in the new. Stories of trashing everything and starting over. Stories of redemption, reconciliation and responsibility. Evolving, morphing and changing. Who are you? And what's new?”
From: Story Slam: New Year, New Me

“In 2014, Olga Koch’s father got stopped by authorities on the Russian border, which resulted in the most surreal year of her family’s life. In her debut show, the Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee 2018 will try to dissect this real-life spy drama with nothing but a projector and a ‘unique voiced surely destined for stardom’ (British Comedy Guide). As heard on The Now Show and seen on BBC3.”
From: Olga Koch: Fight

“A barnstorming night of comedy bought to you by special guest MC Louise Leigh!! Kitson is away pretending to be a comedian in Cardiff but Louise is an absolute bloody powerhouse/delight and she’s bringing more than ample support with her!”
From: This Next Act

“Spiro’s demon mandolinist Alex Vann, Welsh musick mistress Madame Ceski and Ron ‘No Fit State’ Phelan on bass combine their deep knowledge of folk music and the free spirit of improvisation with spellbinding results.”
From: Rock of Eye

“hese are just some of the seminal roots and unique cultural and social circumstances which contributed to and then helped to define the great national folk tradition that is American Country Music. It’s music that relates the stories of real people who lived and laughed and loved through both difficult and adventurous times. It recounts the adolescence of a Brave New World, it describes the growing pains of a vast new continent.”
From: Ponchartrain
