Wednesday, 15th November 2023 at Bush Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman ‘Anyone else ever c*m blood during sex and feel like you’re going to die?... No?...

Tuesday, 19th September 2023 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Murder in the Dark is a trippy thriller from writer Torben Betts that takes its own sweet time to lay foundations before unleashing a pretty gripping final segment.

Friday, 15th September 2023 at York Theatre Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ian Stroughair once more takes to the York Theatre Royal stage as alter ego Velma Celli - this time with a show celebrating “pop royalty”: God Save the Queens.

Saturday, 9th September 2023 at York Theatre Royal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Described as “Doctor Faustus cosmically collides with Deal or No Deal”, Cosmic Collective’s Edmonds is a whacky show which marries improv with the absurd to take audiences through Noel Edmonds’ life and career.
