SUMMARY:The Anglia Comedy Allstars – April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Strictly over 18s only.\nPlease note that the line-up may be subject to change without notice. \n  \nThe Anglia Comedy Allstars return to The Old Savoy – Home of The Deco Theatre in April 2026\, with an amazing line-up featuring the hilarious Milton Jones\, Rory Bremner\, Fatiha El-Ghorri & Darren Harriott! \nMilton Jones: Him with the shirts from Mock the Week\, Live at the Apollo and Radio 4.\nMilton reveals the truth about being an international spy\, before being given a disappointing new identity which forced him to appear on Mock the Week & Live at the Apollo. \nJust gloriously daft nonsense or is there a deeper meaning? Every man has his price. Sainsburys\, where good food costs less. \n“No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride” – The Guardian\n————-\nRory Bremner is widely regarded as Britain’s top satirical impressionist. \nAs a mimic\, he’s provided definitive impersonations of PMs and Presidents from Major to Mandela\, Blair to Brown\, Clinton to Cameron and Bush to Trump. As himself\, he’s been presenter\, writer\, quiz-show host\, actor\, translator and even (briefly) ballroom dancer (Strictly).\n————\nUnderneath Taskmaster star Fatiha El-Ghorri’s colourful hijab is a mind full of cutting observations and engaging witticisms on the life and times of a British Muslim woman. Already racking up a score of on-screen credits\, Fatiha has made appearances on The Jonathan Ross Show\, The Russell Howard Hour\, Outsiders\, Stand Up Sketch Show & Big Zuu’s Big Eats.\n————- \nDarren Harriott is one of the most exciting comedians on the circuit. Over the last few years\, he has hosted Live at the Apollo\, and appeared on panel shows such Mock the Week\, as well as giving his viewpoint on popular reality shows; The Apprentice: Your Fired and The Great British Bake Off: Extra Slice. He has recently been a contestant on the latest series of ITV’s Dancing on Ice. \n★★★★ “Passionate\, articulate & witty” – Evening Standard \nThis show is not to be missed! \n  \n\nAny customers continually disrupting the show\, using their mobile phones\, heckling\, shouting out or talking WILL be asked to leave.\nLine-ups are correct at time of purchase\, but may be subject to change. No refunds will be offered for changes to the line-up but we will always endeavour to replace with like for like performers. Customers may not be notified of any changes made to shows with multiple comedians performing.\nTickets are non-refundable\, barring a full show cancellation. If a show is cancelled all tickets will be refunded in full.\nTicket holders consent to the recording and filming of themselves as members of the audience.

SUMMARY:Rude Science
DESCRIPTION:The naughtiest\, funniest\, most revolting science show in the world. \nBrace yourselves for BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary\, high-tech\, highly-explosive new show\, packed with outrageous science stunts. On the surface it’s a riot of disgusting experiments built to delight young audiences but under the bonnet it’s a brilliantly-constructed curriculum-driven adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science. \nExpect enormous bottoms\, f*rt machines\, snot cocktails\, vast whoopee cushions\, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins in this celebration of the fascinating bodily science essential to life. The show transforms complex biology\, physics and chemistry into educational hilarity using Stef’s signature stunts and encyclopaedic science knowledge. \nStefan Gates is an award-winning presenter of 20 TV series (including five for CBBC including Incredible Edibles\, Gastrolab and Gastronuts)\,and a STEM author of 12 books (including Fartology and Science You Can Eat)\, and he’s internationally renowned for his clever\, high-octane\, highly-educational stage shows that inspire young audiences to fall in love with science. \n\nBoth shows are followed by a 40mins post-show meet and greet and photo opportunity with Stefan \nContent Warning:\nLoud bangs\, audience participation\, latex balloons\, stage fog.

SUMMARY:Mythos: Ragnarök
