Chumps Comedy - Catherine Bohart: Again, With Feelings
Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Catherine Bohart's back and ready to talk about her feelings (again)… Join one of the UK and Ireland’s most-exciting comics for a hilariously twisted second coming-of-age saga as she reckons with death-obsessed parents, queer reproduction and how adulthood, frankly, isn’t living up to her expectations. Host of hit podcast Trusty Hogs. As seen and heard on Live at the Apollo, The Mash Report, Immaculate (Amazon Prime special), Mock the Week and The News Quiz. Nominee: Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024 Best Show Praise for Again, With Feelings: ‘Firecracker hour… her best yet’ ★★★★★ The Guardian ‘A very endearing hour of entertainment' ★★★★★ Reviews Hub ‘Hilarious… a funny and revealing show’ ★★★★ The Scotsman 'Naturally funny… utterly consumable' ★★★★ The Times ‘Blistering execution and rapid-fire gags… a gem’ ★★★★ The Age ‘A stand-up in such command of her material… a real delight’ ★★★★ Chortle ‘There's never a dull moment’ ★★★★ The Arts Desk

Whipped Up!
Whipped Up! follows Dottie, an eager-to-please 50’s-style diner server on their first day on the job – where the baby is the customer, and caregivers are along for the ride. As the server waits on their “demanding” clientele (imagine babies doing what babies do best – creating adorable chaos!) the server grows increasingly frazzled – and more and more entertaining! Stimulating for tiny audience members with sensory play served up throughout the show, and hilarious for parents/adults watching their loved ones take on roles in an unfolding comedy.

The Farmer and the Clown
An old hard-working farmer lives alone. A baby clown bounces off a passing circus train in the middle of nowhere, now separated from family and friends. Unsure what to do, the farmer takes the clown home. Can a friendship span the generations? Can old dogs learn new tricks? Can the young clown find its way home? The Farmer and The Clown is a story of an unexpected friendship for all ages, told through physical comedy and dance, and performed with an original live soundtrack by JOW. What Flibbertigibbet have created is a beautiful, simple, and charming piece of theatre, suitable for all.” Bristol 24/7 “...absolutely beautiful. I LOVED it! Beautiful performance and gorgeous music. Touched and delighted” Emma Rice, WISE CHILDREN

Granny's Attic
Granny’s Attic return to Margate in this collaboration between Rosslyn Court and ARK. With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021, they released The Brickfields, an instrumental collection that sees them reach new heights both as performers and composers. “Their high-octane take on English folk has brought a whole new audience to the genre” The Irish Times “A superb folk trio” RNR Magazine “Traditional folk music taken far beyond its parameters” Tykes News
