Jimmy Carr – Terribly Funny
2022-07-12 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
Jimmy’s latest show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things. Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love. But they’re just jokes – they are not the terrible things.
Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.
Now you’ve been warned, buy a ticket.

The Caucasian Chalk Circle
2022-07-15 19:30 - 21:30 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
Our very own The Actors Company takes on one of the giants of modern classic theatre, directed by Scott Bradley. Bertolt Brecht’s epic play is vast in its scope, yet human at its heart, setting the grotesque against the hilarious, with a backdrop of war and revolution.
Featuring live and looped soundscapes using the incredible skills of spoken word poet and musician David Bowden (Word Guerrilla) this exciting and dynamic production explores themes of justice, motherhood and social corruption through the medium of a distant fairy tale, the ‘play within the play’.
