PREMIER
An absurd work in progress hour of one liners and flights of fancy from surrealist fool Paul F Taylor “Paul F Taylor is going to rear a cult following of
those with refined senses of humour & you should join us.” Three Weeks “A welter of daft, Harry Hill-like ideas and diversions & chucks characters around
with the agility of the Pajama Men.” The Independent

THE KNOWING SMIRK COMEDY SHOW
Cheltenham based sketch and improv group Knowing Smirk perform a wide range of material. From speculations about the love life
of vegetables to the political opinions of goldfish. A Broadway Baby review of their Fringe show assured that “warm mirth resonates in the room”.
So come along and get toasty, and maybe even win a badge!

THE ORDER OF THE SILLY BILLIES
The Order of the Silly Billies (as heard on BBC’s Jesting About) are a strange and psychedelic, comedy trip. Straight from their Newcastle
monthly night (“the best alternative comedy the North East has to offer... a cult” - Narc magazine) they are here to present an anarchic cocktail
of sketches, surrealism and farting about. Pay What you want on exit or buy a ticket in advance to guarantee a seat.
