Tim Peake: Astronauts

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

The Quest to Explore Space Tour With fewer than 650 people having reached Earth’s orbit, nobody is more qualified than Tim to celebrate the historic achievements and human endeavours of space exploration. Up until now, Tim has brought his own incredible journey to life through unparalleled storytelling and extraordinary archive footage. In this new show, Tim will share the remarkable stories of some of his fellow astronauts and explore the spectacular evolution of space travel. From the first forays into space in the 1950s, to the first human missions destined for Mars, Tim will traverse the final frontier. As he recounts the awe-inspiring endeavours of astronauts across the ages, Tim will reveal what spaceflight is truly like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and psychological and physical pressures that an astronaut has to take on. The journey has only just begun…come and join Tim for this one-of-a-kind show!

From the team behind the sell-out show Uncanny: I Know What I Saw Uncanny: Fear Of The Dark The first Uncanny live stage show I Know What I Saw was one of the best-selling paranormal shows in theatre history. Now, Danny Robins and his team of experts are back with a brand-new show for 2025, with even more terrifying real-life stories and witness accounts that will have you gripped from the very beginning. This is not an ordinary podcast show. This is story-telling and paranormal investigation at its peak. Using a unique mix of sound, projection and stagecraft, recollections of hauntings, apparitions and events that seem to defy logical explanation are examined by Danny, Ciarán O’Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow, with input from you, the audience, as you get the chance to share your theories and your own experiences. As always, whether you are team sceptic, team believer or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome. The only question to ask before you come is; do you have a fear of the dark? Pre-Show Meet & Greet Opportunity available to add at checkout. Places are limited.

Alan Davies

He thinks he’s Marty McFly but he’s older than Doc Brown. He spends more time in the pharmacy than the gym. Subject to relentless eye rolls from his kids. What is he?

He is a staple of British television, known for his performance as the eponymous hero of David Renwick’s hugely popular, long-running TV series Jonathan Creek, and as a permanent panelist on QI. His talk show, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, recently reached its seventh season. He is also one of the UK’s best-loved comedians. His stand-up show Urban Trauma ran in London’s West End and Life is Pain and Little Victories sold out in venues across the UK. His second memoir, Just Ignore Him was published in 2020 and the third instalment will be published later this year.
