Scott Bennett: Great Scott! Special Live Taping

Another chance to see his incredible greatest hits show "Great Scott" which is being recorded at the legendary Chorley Theatre for a special!

Recently described by the Evening Standard as “Live Comedy’s best kept secret” Scott Bennett has been blazing a trail through the stand-up circuit for the best part of a decade. He’s written for many high profile acts such as Chris Ramsey and Jason Manford, and recently recorded his debut on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo. In massive demand as a comedy writer and with regular appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and The Now Show, and his recent stand up special about consumerism and design, Stuff, Scott is an act on the verge of breaking through into the big time.

Ray Bradshaw: Doppelginger
From:26-04-2024
To:26-04-2024
+ More Info +

Multi award winning comedian Ray Bradshaw is forever being told “you look just like my mate…” where ever he goes. It’s been happening for years and he’s worried about it. Either someone is cloning generic bald men or, there’s a ginger bearded bald man out there who’s doing a bad job of stalking Ray. In his brand-new show Doppelginger, Ray is going to use the latest in genetic research (the internet) to try and put an end to this once and for all. He’s on a quest to find the person who looks most like him.

Doppelginger is a funny heartwarming comedy show about a silly search for a man with an orange beard who’s follicly challenged. If you have a bald, ginger bearded friend in their 30s (true at time of writing), then bring them along. You never know – they could be The One.

Constellations

Written by Nick Payne
Directed by Alan Levesley

Imagine we live in a multiverse, a set of parallel existences containing infinite possibilities. Every possible event could happen, and every romance, every heartbreak, every happy ending is in one universe or another. If two people meet, they could fall in love or go their separate ways, marry other people, or spend their lifetimes together.

Marianne and Roland meet at a party. They hit it off, or they don’t. He breaks her heart, or she breaks his. Their love blossoms, or withers.

This spellbing play about a possible romance between a beekeeper and a physicist explores how even the smallest change makes a difference and decides the course our lives take.

A play about free will and friendship; it's about quantum multiverse theory, love and honey.

One relationship. Infinite possibilities.
