Mike Bubbins, star of hit podcast The Socially Distant Sports Bar, and of BBC television comedies Mammoth, Tourist Trap and The Unexplainers, unleashes Throwback, his first ever solo UK stand-up tour. And things may never be the same again.

Throwback is a powerful, thought-provoking, unapologetically visceral hour of stand-up comedy that pushes boundaries, defies neat descriptions and challenges audience and performer alike to question the very nature of their existence. In Throwback, Bubbins lays himself bare, describing his torment over his sexuality, his struggles with his many demons and his journey to find his inner truth.

It’s actually an hour and a half of really funny stories, pretty impressive characterisations, possibly a song (we’ll see how that goes), and Mike (me) getting very annoyed by berks, having a laugh about life and generally not taking himself (myself) too seriously.

Throwback is a comedy show about me bringing to life the stuff that I find funny. Pretty straightforward, really.

MARTIN KEMP
BACK TO THE 80s DJ SET

IS THIS TOO GOOD TO BE ‘TRUE’?!

The hottest 80s club night is returning to Bolton - when actor, TV personality and star of Spandau Ballet Martin Kemp will be spinning the biggest and best hits of that decade!

Currently selling-out venues across the UK, early booking is essential for what promises to be a pure ‘Gold’ night!

Here he comes again, trotting on to the stage with all of the misplaced confidence of a waiter with no pad. There'll be lots of talking, some apologising and some songs on a glued together plastic keyboard from 1986.  

As seen on Channel 4's Along for the Ride with David O'Doherty, '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' and BBC's 'Live At the Apollo.'

One man, one microphone, and one microphone in the wings in case the one on stage breaks. Pure. Simple. Classic. Basic Lee. “The world’s greatest living stand-up” (Times)

Adapted from Helen Forrester’s million-selling book, By The Waters Of Liverpool is a stunning period drama set in the 1930s. The story opens in 1935. Helen is sixteen years old and fighting a bitter battle with her parents for the right to educate herself and go out to work. During the Great Depression, Helen’s father lost his fortune when the stock market crashed and the family were suddenly thrown into poverty. Leaving behind the nannies, servants and comfortable middle-class life in the South West of England, the Forrester’s chose Liverpool as the place to start over. They were in for a terrible shock. Taken out of school to care for her younger brothers and sisters while her parents struggled to re-build their shattered lives, Helen is treated as an unpaid slave and desperate to escape. By 1939, now aged twenty and with Britain on the brink of war, she has still never been kissed by a man. But things start looking up for Helen when she meets a tall strong seaman and falls in love.

“By The Waters Of Liverpool also features flashbacks to Helen’s earlier books Liverpool Miss and Twopence To Cross The Mersey. I’ve even weaved in a storyline from Helen’s fourth autobiography, Lime Street At Two. That way those unfamiliar with Helen’s work still get a complete picture of her life”.
