Zog and the Flying Doctors

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

THE CREW ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER ROAR-SOME ADVENTURE! Zog, super keen student turned air-ambulance, still lands with a bang-crash-thump. Together with his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, they tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with one too many horns and a lion with the flu. However, Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle back in a crown and a silly frilly dress! With a bit of help from some friends and half a pound of cheese, can Pearl make her uncle better and prove princesses can be doctors too? Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions (Zog, Stick Man, Tiddler & Other Terrific Tales) are back with music and lyrics by Joe Stilgoe (Zog) for this truly modern take on the classic fairy tale. Most suitable for ages 3+ but all ages welcome.

Matt Green: That Guy

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Debut national tour from that guy (@mattgreencomedy) you’ve seen on Twitter being funny about politics. A stand up show featuring jokes about politics and jokes not about politics. That probably covers it. Matt has achieved millions of views for his online satirical comedy videos since he started making them during lockdown. He’s also been performing stand up comedy for nearly 20 years, and this is his first show since the madness of Covid/Johnson/Truss/Lord-knows-what-else began. Watch him try to make sense of the world as we head into another year of elections, culture wars and who knows what else. Plus discover: exactly who is that guy behind the videos? May also feature an appearance from a Tory Minister – if Matt can afford his daily rate… As seen and heard on Late Night Mash, Avoidance, The Witchfinder, Mrs Sidhu Investigates, Times Radio, Oh God What Now? and many more.

Ania Magliano: I Can’t Believe You’ve Done This

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

To the hairdresser at Salon: You can take my money. You can take my dignity. You can take too much off the ends. But you cannot take my right to talk about it on stage.

Winner of Best New Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2022, Ania sold-out both runs of her critically acclaimed shows at the 2022 and 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her second show I Can’t Believe You’ve Done This was ranked #1 in Time Out’s The 11 best comedy shows at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 list. Ania has previously supported Marc Maron, Cat Cohen and Ed Gamble on tour, and writes for Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date.
