Robin Ince's School for Gifted Children Holiday Special

29 Mar 2010

Robin Ince

Sold Out.

The best lecture you ever had, but all splintered and haphazard, like the popular children’s magazine of knowledge, Look and Learn. Like a Show and Tell, with less dinosaurs and more words. And some of those Words will be songs. A whole curriculum of wit and accidental profundity.

Zoe Lyons - Miss Machismo

If.Comedy Best Newcomer nominee Zoe Lyons brings her all new show to The Bloomsbury Theatre for one night only.

In 2008 Zoe was awarded the inaugural DAVE award for Best Joke at the Fringe for a gag that Germaine Greer described as 'astonishingly vicious'. Zoe is, of course, grateful for the compliment and has since appeared on Mock The Week (BBC2), Four Stands Up (Radio 4), Clive Anderson's Chatroom (BBC2) and PMQ with Andy Parsons (Radio Five Live).

Lucy Porter - Fool's Gold

9 Apr 2010

Lucy Porter - Fool's Gold

Lucy Porter's latest solo show is a witty romp through the history of gold. In these times of recession, gold is prized more highly than ever, as other forms of currency grow worthless. What's so special about gold, and why is it that human beings have long been obsessed with the yellow, shiny stuff? The show will feature live alchemy, a tribute to Mr T. and a very valuable, big gold thing with security guards and everything!

Sold Out. Additional show on the 24th May.

It's been a great 18 months for Micky - he appeared in BBC 1's Michael McIntyre's Road Show, his Radio 4 series What Chance Change? was a hit with listeners and critics alike and he is one of a handful of comics to perform their own Comedy Central special. So now it's time for Micky to hit the road performing the best of his last two Edinburgh shows. It’s not just time to go out, it’s time to go Out Out
