“Grown-up stand-up for adults with babies is B A C K at The Greenbank - and you're in for a treat. Park the buggy downstairs and come on up where there's softplay mats on the floor and a changing area so you can relax and enjoy the stellar comic talent in a baby safe space.”

“Non-TV famous, non-award-winning comic Amy Howerska returns with another show because she has not yet learnt her lesson. Through a series of errors (love), Howerska has accidentally found herself Californian. As her friends beg her “Not to get all American”, Howerska knows that she will never be that confident. But she’s made some loltastic stories out of it; you know, “American’s are like this and Brits are like ‘ello Governor” sort of comedy, but not rubbish. And while regular host, The Cranky Yank, Tony is away, she'll be free to proper take the piss out of the place. Yee-haw!”

“Cosmic jams, slow grooves, fluttering synths, hiphop drums, slick vocals, psychedelic effects, tape echo - the influences - Jan Hammer, early Stevie Wonder, Can, Herbie Hancock, Tangerine Dream are all there but they sound just like themselves.”

“The seven piece line-up is completed by a stellar second guitar player, bass and drums (a rhythm section that Mark E. Smith would be proud of), and two horn players. The result is “a mix of The Fall, Can, Sun Ra, Captain Beefheart, Public Image Ltd, King Tubby. I love this band”, said Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore.”
