NORMAN LOVETT: ENTERTAINING MOANER<br />
Maybe best known for his role as Holly on Red Dwarf, Norman Lovett is a peerless stand up comedian who inspired the likes of<br />
Stewart Lee. “A true master of his craft, genuinely brilliant.” Chortle. Tonight he might talk about Elvis? He might not? He will be hilarious.<br />

OF, OR AT A FAIRLY LOW TEMPERATURE<br />
How much denim do I wear? How many beards do I grow? Does my mum think I’m ‘cool’? Is there literally anything else that matters in life?<br />
Are acronyms still ‘in’? OOAAFLT is a performance project that examines what is meant by being ‘cool’. It mixes contemporary dance with<br />
storytelling and comedy to question what is ‘cool’ these days.<br />
