Improv Banana – Kids Comedy

Interactive improv show with Roy The Boy Allaway. Learn Yes and... and how you can never be wrong. You will laugh. A lot. Come up and play or just watch. We will do some warm-ups; adults can jump in if they like. Then we will play some games to learn techniques and finally scenes. All of that splattered with the quick witted host @royallaway. Should a child not want to play, Roy will sensitively navigate this. Ideal age range 8-14 years but we won't turn anyone away.

Blackbox

A play disguised as a magic show where history and illusion intertwine. Enslaved in America, Henry 'Box' Brown conjures his life and reenacts his daring 1849 escape when he shipped himself to freedom inside a wooden crate. Each illusion mirrors a chapter of his journey: love, loss, confinement, faith and defiance. Gospel-infused soundscapes and stagecraft transform the theatre into a site of both sanctuary and reckoning. As boxes appear, vanish and break apart, Henry's story becomes more than spectacle – it becomes testimony, inviting audiences to witness liberation not as legend but as lived and embodied resistance.

You sit on your front porch at 3am, a gun in one hand, a guitar in the other: what song do you play?

Jane Eyre Convention

Jane Eyre Convention. At the world's first ever Jane Eyre Convention, slightly neurotic aficionados gather to reenact their favourite novel. They squabble and fight over the best bits, correct interpretation etc. Real emotions are experienced as they follow Jane on her journey, including running wailing across the moors. They also attempt to rescue shackled Bertha in the attic. Finally they gain new insights and generally feel better. Show contains unrealistic violence, bonnets and minimal raunch. It may be mildly therapeutic and audience participation is optional. Double Fringe First winners.

Troy Hawke: Never Stop, Never Change!

Following last year’s sell-out world tour, Troy Hawke is back to his globe sweeping in 2026 with new show Never Stop, Never Change! Angry security guards, barked compliments and crossed wires abound, as Troy navigates various conversational minefields, both online and in real life. 'I like the videos but how does it translate to the stage?' Come and find out for yourself. 'Riotously funny hour’ ***** (Chortle.co.uk).

An IQ137 Cheerio (Work in Progress)

Bilee returns with her unique, gentle, surreal humour! From the East to Edinburgh, she left a global carbon footprint, hopping on random trains of thought. 'Our job is to observe, not to interrupt,' her Oxbridge professor once said, which interrupts here to suggest something lives just behind her gorgeous, sad eyes. An IQ of 137 made her life... her life, clouding her doubts about ways of living. This year, she finally reaches 160. Pounds. As you can tell from this uninvited self-revelation, she is genius, or genuine, or at least gentle. Come chill, cheerio!

JOSIAH

Based on the autobiography of Josiah Henson. Born into slavery in Maryland, enduring 41 years of unimaginable brutality and persecution before escaping to Canada. The play dramatises his unwavering resilience, determination and faith; the indomitable spirit which led him to become a respected leader, minister and teacher. His story inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to create Uncle Tom in the seminal novel of the 19th Century – Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This is a story that matters today in a time when histories are being erased and challenged. It is a compelling true Canadian story of triumph over adversity.
