Sarah Millican – Late Bloomer
2024-01-25 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
When Sarah Millican was a bairn, she wouldn’t say boo to a goose. Quiet at school, not many friends, no boobs til she was sixteen.
Now? NOW she is loud, with good friends, a cracking rack and goose booing all over the shop.
In Late Bloomer, Sarah’s brand-new stand-up show, she explores how one became the other. Plus, lots of stuff about dinners and lady gardens.
Come along, laugh at her, with her, beside her.

Spymonkey’s tragically funny attempt to pull off a classic Greek comedy
Written by Carl Grose and Spymonkey, with massive apologies to Aristophanes
Spymonkey’s Toby Park and Aitor Basauri are at the end of the road. The other Spymonkeys have taken themselves off to a better place, and they’re about to call it a day.
To their rescue rides mega-rich philanthropist Patty Getty and her theatrically ambitious niece Jacoba with an offer they can’t refuse! But does this beleaguered comedy duo have what it takes to perform the classic Greek comedy The Frogs at Patty’s legendary amphitheatre in Hollywood?
Shot through with Spymonkey’s uniquely surreal comedy, The Frogs is a delirious trip through Greek theatre, a monster-filled Underworld and classic vaudeville double acts but with existential angst, bronzed oiled torsos and a jumping chorus of tap-dancing frogs!
What are you waiting for? Hop to it!
A Royal & Derngate and Spymonkey co-production
