The Glummer Twins, David Harmer and Ray Globe, recently turned 60. It’s just a number, though. Right? They celebrate the joys, absurdities and indignities of getting older.

In You, Me and Godzilla Too, Jowanna Rose plays a woman who returns home after a nightmare party and attempts to scramble through a series of life labels, Ikea furniture, failures and reconciliations, all with the help of her chair!

Sheffield improv troupe Stürike Comedy present fast-paced storytelling, created from audience suggestions.

Desmond’s Republic looks back to floods that hit Lancaster in December 2015. Callum Berridge met with friends and they made a pot of stew over a gas camping stove. In the show, Callum weaves together truth and fiction as he and the audience make a pot of stew to share together in the darkness.
