Saturday 7 June - Comedy Club. Noel James
'Liberates the lunatic side to our personalities - brilliantly!' - Time Out
'Stands out like a droll giant in a comedy land of trite dwarfs' - The Independent
'His act is gag, gag, gag all the way - though some of it consists of non-baby-talk. Above all, his act is highly original; the guy who wrote it assured him of this.
Surreal, bizarre, absurd, intelligent, and yet, strangely attractive. Seriously a very accessible act who always goes down well.'
Also Vladimir MacTavish and Neil McFarlane
Saturday 14 June - Comedy Club. Cole Parker
A very dark physical blend of satire and surreal observation, punctuated with topical humour.

Everyone Says I Love You - Sunday Brunch event

"I feel my soul heavy with love untold..."
This is the tale of two men and the woman they both treasure,
But will physical charm and youthfulness win the ladies pleasure?
Or will the man whose words set worlds on fire,
But whose nose puts one in mind of a cathedral spire,
The one who fights for love and glory
Will his be the victory at the end of our story?
To find out join us this summer for an unforgettable evening's entertainment.
Bring your own chair or rug (some seating available)
Picnics & full range of drinks available on the night
