Keep Your Sunny Side Up: The Gracie Fields Story
Keep Your Sunny Side Up! tells the 'rags to riches' story of Dame Gracie Fields who in the mid-1930's was Britain's most successful female variety artist and the highest-earning female performer in the world.

Featuring 15 songs from Gracie's career including ‘Sally’, ‘Sing As We Go’, ‘The Isle of Capri’ and ‘Wish Me Luck (As You Wave Me Goodbye’) Keep Your Sunny Side Up! paints an intimate portrait of a big-hearted, no nonsense woman who made a lasting impact both on British culture and on the people she encountered in her extraordinary life.

James Campbell’s Comedy 4 Kids: Reducks
James invented the idea of proper stand-up for children in 2001. Since then he has been travelling the world, bringing high-quality laughter to children in thousands of schools, libraries, theatres, festivals anywhere that will have him really. For the last ten years he has mainly been concentrating on writing funny books and parenting his own children. But now he is bored of all that and returns to the world of festivals to reboot comedy for kids with a face full of wrinkles and a reconstructed show that may include exploding penguins; seventeen ways to eat jam; and songs to sing to the worms in your dog’s bottom. This show is twice as funny as anything you’ve seen before so cover yourself in glue, roll around in glitter for five minutes and then come to the show shouting, “I’m a massive disco maggot!” until someone asks you to leave. ★★★★★ "A hit not to be missed” - Three Weeks ★★★★★ “I should have given him six stars – just too brilliant“ – The Sunday Herald "There were children laughing so hard they were struggling to sit up straight" - One4Review "Has achieved almost holy status - don't miss" - The Sunday Times
Tommy Cooper: I Didn’t Let You Down, Did I?
The “Hilarious and heartbreaking” story of Tommy Cooper! This show explores the life of the British comedian and magician Tommy Cooper, who won the hearts of a nation in a career spanning more than 30 years before his untimely death, live on stage and broadcast live on television during "Live at Her Majesty's" in 1984, to raucous laughter and rapturous applause. The perfect send off for a comedian who lived to make people smile. This show uses some of Cooper’s classic performances and tricks, while also diving deep into the heart of a man who battled many demons. A chronic alcoholic who was equally in love with two women, his wife and his stage manager, we see him wrestle with his choices and mistakes as the walls close in on him on all sides, the brandy runs dry, and the final curtain approaches. How could such an intrinsically funny man be so fearful that the magic would leave him? Why did Tommy (and a whole host of comedians before and since) have these doubts, and how did he cope with them and his crippling addiction in order to be funny every single day, until it killed him?
