Monday 8th December 2025 at York Theatre Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Panto season is back, and it’s the timeless classic Sleeping Beauty at York Theatre Royal this year, directed by Juliet Forster. Paul Hendy’s take on the tale is typically not-so-classic, adding a good dose of local references and zingers alongside panto staples like the spooks dance,... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 19th November 2025 at the Grand Theatre and Opera House, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Slava’s Snow Show is quite simply a joy. It’s an experience, celebrating all the best that theatre can be when it’s at its most free and expressive. Possibly best described as being enveloped in a dream world of surreal creativity, the show... Continue Reading →

Tuesday 21st October 2025 at York Theatre Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Torben Betts’ latest play is a companion piece to Murder at Midnight - this time taking comic embellishments and centring them to present a whacky hybrid of violent whodunnit and bedroom farce.

Thursday 10th July 2025 at Theatre 41, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emmy Happisburgh’s lively, buoyant play - presented by Contentment Productions and apparently inspired by STERNS nightclub in Worthing- is an entertaining take on getting older and reflecting on our former, care-free selves. In Louise’s case, recognising her well-behaved, middle-class, middle-age self as being a million miles... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 10th June 2025 at the Grand Opera House York The Last Laugh is a new play by Paul Hendy celebrating the legacy of three comedy legends: Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper and Bob Monkhouse.

Sunday, 1st June 2025 at Theatre 41, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The works of Edgar Allan Poe are works of dark and twisted genius. They generally don’t get enough attention these days for my liking, so I was chuffed to be able to see a selection of his tales performed by the very talented Stephen Smith (who... Continue Reading →
Friday, 30th May 2025 at the Grand Opera House, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This improv show created by Degrees of Error sees a brand new murder mystery spontaneously take shape each night.
