Amanda and Elyot are charming, rich, utterly reckless – and divorced. When they meet unexpectedly on the first night of their honeymoons with new partners, in the balmy moonlight of the French Riviera, old flames re-ignite, and impulsive love takes hold. But they divorced for a reason, and their fiery romance soon spirals into a chaotic riot of passionate desire, slanging matches and outrageous battles. Set against a backdrop of 1930s glamour, Noël Coward’s Private Lives is a sparkling comedy of manners – hilarious, stylish, and a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with razor-sharp wit, sizzling chemistry, and timeless sophistication.
Mr Blackpool’s Seaside Spectacular is an end of the pier show at the end of the world from performance artist and theatre maker Harry Clayton-Wright. Set in the not too distant future against the decimated backdrop of climate collapse or late stage capitalism – you decide, could be both – four Blackpool performers embed the history of ‘end of the pier’ entertainment, cabaret, variety, drag and dance into a series of turns inspired by conversations and autobiographical references to the performers, their lives and relationships to this iconic seaside town. Remember your first time being led astray by a Liza Minnelli tribute act? Thought not. Ever starred as a high kicking leading lady of a drag show while still a teenager? Didn’t think so. Been rugby tackled by stag and hen parties whilst dressed in a mascot costume on Blackpool’s Golden Mile? Perhaps you just had a paper round. These are all just quotidian tales from the life of a Blackpool entertainer and in this show we bring these inspirational stories to life in lurid technicolor and garish spectacle. But who is this haunted impresario leading you through the night? What is beyond the feathers and rhinestones? The smiles covered in petroleum jelly? The sparkle and shine of the seafront? Don’t worry about that, you’re on holiday. The evening awaits you at Mr Blackpool’s Seaside Spectacular… Twice nightly. Mr Blackpool’s Seaside Spectacular is created and performed in collaboration with Oliver Gregory, aka Miss Titty Kaka, an international showgirl sensation who started their performance career at Blackpool drag institution Funny Girls when they were 18 years old. Also featuring Aysh De Belle and Sam De Belle, a married dancing duo from Blackpool whose work has been seen on stage and screen.

Namaste Motherf*ckers?is the new show from Cally Beaton (QI, Live at the Apollo) – a quick-witted, unexpected and unapologetic insight into life in midlife. Combining Cally’s comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention – taking her from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers. A funny show about a deadly serious subject, ?Namaste Motherf*ckers?is a celebration of and for the female of the species. Invisible no more. The show includes a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may even be there too).
