Strictly over 18s only. Please note that the line-up may be subject to change without notice.   The 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!

Milton 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.

Sainsburys, where good food costs less. “No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride” – The Guardian ————- Rory Bremner is widely regarded as Britain’s top satirical impressionist. As 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). ———— Underneath Taskmaster star Fatiha El-Ghorri’s colourful hijab is a mind full of cutting observations and engaging witticisms on the life and...
