Editors Pick May – June
Drama, laughter, and great sounds… There is something for everyone here; it’s just a matter of choosing what suits you.
Greenroom, west walls 25 – 26 May 2023
Dead Funny. It sounds hilarious to us.
Terry Johnson’s painfully funny play comes to the West Walls Theatre for a limited run. Brought to you by the Off West Award-winning Northern Comedy Theatre.
Let us take you back to April 1992. Eleanor desperately wants to have a baby, but her unwilling husband, Richard, is too busy running the Dead Funny Society to care. In the week when British comedy heroes Frankie Howerd and Benny Hill both kick the bucket, members of the society gather for a fun evening of tribute and celebration. But as the drinks and innuendos flow, life-changing secrets are revealed and various skeletons are let out of the cupboard, meaning life for the group of friends will never be the same again.
Dead Funny will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.

An Evening and a Little Bit of a Morning with Mark Steel, Carnegie Theatre, June 16
Observational comedy at its best. Sharp and dry, he will take the mick out of your town, and you will laugh out loud as he pours scorn upon you. One funny man and guaranteed to have you howling, at your expense.
Whatever has happened in the room, in the town, or in the world that day will almost certainly be in the show.
