FRIDAY OCTOBER 16th
Sorry, SOLD OUT
Apology – Sadly, because of a family bereavement, Omid is unable to appear on Friday 16th October. We will announce a rescheduled date soon. At very short notice, we are pleased to announce he will be replaced by the extraordinary Boothby Graffoe and Antonio Forcione. Fresh from the Leicester Square theatre the night before, this is musical comedy of the highest order.
BOOTHBY GRAFFOE & ANTONIO FORCIONE
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of music, comedy, and charm as award-winning comedian and singer-songwriter Boothby Graffoe teams up with internationally acclaimed Italian guitarist Antonio Forcione. “Wot Italian?” Is a hilarious and heartfelt collision of Graffoe’s sharp wit and whimsical storytelling with Forcione’s virtuosic guitar mastery.
This show promises a mix of brilliantly crafted songs, laugh-out-loud banter, and jaw-dropping musical skill—all served with a side of Mediterranean flair. From tender ballads to toe-tapping tunes, expect an eclectic mix of genres and an atmosphere that’s as warm and inviting as a Tuscan summer evening.
Whether you’re here for the laughs, the tunes, or a little bit of both, "Wot Italian?" is a show that will leave your heart lighter and your spirits soaring. Don’t miss this unique collaboration—an evening of joy, artistry and laughter awaits!
ANDRÉ VINCENT
Gumph, fahroar & Balderdash...
André Vincent is one of those rare entertainers who does it all. Comedian, actor, writer, director, presenter, singer, circus boy…a born show-off. This lay-by on the information superhighway hopes to explain why he has spent his life facing the opposite direction to everyone else in the room.
DON BISWAS
Don Biswas is one of the gems of the circuit. A politically charged gag merchant who likes to cover a wide range of subjects including his Asian upbringing, his neurodiversity as someone with dyspraxia, ADHD, and ASD as well as the hot political issues of the day.
Don is now a regular face in comedy clubs across the UK. Alongside that Don recently recorded a comedy special for BBC Radio 4 entitled ‘Neurotopical’ and has appeared on Radio 4’s 13 Million Club, Rosie Jones’s Boxticker as well as UKTV Digitals Rosie Jones’s Disabled Comedy Extravaganza BBC Onlines Future Food Stars and BBC Asian Network Comedy night.
His unique style has seen him support John Williams on tour, perform in the USA (Silicon Valley & New York) & Switzerland and also win 2023: Don Biswas Actually Autistic Award from the Neurodiverse Review for his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe show “The Revolution will be Disorganised”.
