A KIND OF MAGIC hosted by MAGICAL BONES

Just because you’re stuck at home doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a bit of magic! Your sofa is the best seat in the house for this very special live and interactive magic experience.

Join your host, internationally acclaimed magician Magical Bones, fresh from his hugely successful Britain’s Got Talent appearance, as he invites you to not just watch but to take part this is truly unique show live via Zoom.  Plus if that wasn’t enough we’ll bring special guest appearances with exclusive draw dropping performances from some of the hottest names in contemporary magic and circus. 

What do I need to take part?
• You will need to have registered with Zoom and have a username that matches the name under which your ticket was purchased (for this reason please do not buy multiple tickets under the same name).  Registration with Zoom is free and you can login to the show using the unique ID and password which we will issue on the day of the show.
• An e-package which we will send you on the day along with an ID – this contains features which will assist in your taking part in certain elements of the show.
• A pack of playing cards – this is for one of the items in the show we invite you to join us to take part in. 

Just one ticket for all the household?
Yes that’s right, each ticket entitles you to watch on one screen – phone, tablet, or laptop - regardless of how many people are watching that screen. Please note we do admit people using their user name and password, so if you have friends planning to watch on a separate screen they will need to buy a separate ticket. 

Will everyone be able to see/hear me? 
You have the ability to disable your own camera and microphone in the app and on the website. At certain point of the show the host will invite people to take part in certain elements of the show, and by making your camera live you give your consent to us ‘spotlighting’ you, meaning you will be seen/heard by other people watching the show.  If you don’t want to do this then there is plenty of other stuff you can still take part in, but obviously it adds to the experience if you have the opportunity to talk to the host directly if invited.  Recording of the show is strictly prohibited, however by having your microphone and camera live you indemnify the producers, performers and venues against any liability whatsoever in the event your likeness, name (which may show on screen) or voice are recorded by a third party. 

Duration: 45 minutes approx

‘The year is 1544 and King Henry, the Eighth of that name, is engaged upon Royal Progress about his Realm; and has halted here to afford his Loyal Subjects the opportunity to have 'audience' with their Sovereign Lord and King.

The King, recently married to his new, and sixth, wife, Queen Catherine Parr, is in poor health; his leg continues to cause him considerable pain and he is often in a poor humour!

In the course of the 'audience', His Majesty will recount the events of his long reign; telling of his wives and his children, and His Majesty will invite his Loyal Subjects to Petition him or question him on ANY related subject : there may be some surprising answers - a lively Q&A is assured!’

Funny things happen all the time. Normal events don’t catch the eye but Dave’s special radar instinctively draws him to the small out-of-the-ordinary events and conversations that wash over most of us and pass us by. Once identified, he applies his unique style of exaggerating and elaborating them whilst reminding us that we too have not only witnessed them, it’s probably happened to us! It’s this added dimension, this comedy of association that elevates the event to laugh-out-loud funny.

No wonder Time Out magazine said of him, “Not only a very funny comedian but one of the finest raconteurs around.”

Following on from the success of Britain’s Got Talent 2018, and his debut comedy Tour ‘The Tank Top Tour - 2019’, unique and hilarious musical comedian, Robert White, brings you more, but this time with a little of his personal journey, life ups and downs and some quirky tales into the bargain.
 
Tank Top Tour: Take Two - 'Troubles and Treats'
 
Robert White, that gay autistic keyboard-wielding comedian who you've almost forgotten [from Britain's Got Talent 2018], fresh off the heels of his debut tour last year, brings you his unique form of musical stand-up in a laugh packed hour, but this time with a little more edge, a little more personal revelation and a whole new tank top. Just him, some jokes, some songs, a keyboard and maybe a personal trouble or comedic treat, or two.
 
Robert is probably the only Asperger, dyslexic, cross lateral, gay, quarter-Welsh, webbed-toed comedian on the circuit...probably. This Edfringe White brings you more of the fun you saw on telly.... plus lots of extra naughty bits.

Grace Campbell is a force to be reckoned with. From a very young age, Grace has been taking on powerful men. She started with her father Alastair Campbell and his ex-boss Tony Blair, when she was growing up in and around Westminster.  Since then Grace has challenged the patriarchy with her feminist collective The Pink Protest. And now, she wants to have a friendly fight with the world she grew up in; politics.

In Grace’s debut stand-up show, you can expect vagina jokes, why she thinks she caused Brexit, anecdotes of hanging out with Putin’s kids, plus trying (and failing) to bring the Labour Party back together Grace is rude, laugh-out-loud funny and wildly outspoken.

As seen on Channel 4 & BBC Politics Live.

Off The Kerb Productions Present:
Jon Richardson: The Knitwit

Will the recycling be put out on the right day? Who is going to smooth over the top of the margarine? How many lights are on upstairs when everybody is downstairs?
Watch Jon pretend that these aren't his foremost concerns as he leaves home on his first tour since the last one.

Best known as a team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Cats Countdown (Channel 4), host of Dave’s Ultimate Worrier, and upcoming sitcom Meet the Richardsons. As well as Would I Lie To You (BBC One), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One), and Taskmaster (Dave).

STRICTLY 14+ Likely to be swearing and Adult content

If you went to Norris Bank or Stockport Grammar, or you're a Stockport County fan, you'll probably know Des.

If you went to Sams Bar, Brannigans, Squares, Cobdens or Heaven And Hell in the glory days of the noughties, you've probably bumped into Des, had a pint with Des, or even had a cheeky kiss and cuddle with Des.

And even if you don't know who Des is, it's still definitely worth a tenner to come and support the debut stand-up show of a Stockport lad who's been on Countdown (which was quite funny), once took all his clothes off during a best man speech (which was even funnier) and lasted just eight days in a temporary job at Tesco during the Coronavirus outbreak before getting sacked for writing a comedy diary which went viral on Facebook (which tickled the nation).

If you're lucky, Des might even sing and dance for you as well, plus there's the small matter of the funniest quote a sexual partner has ever said in the history of the modern world.

Age Guidance: Adults Only - 18+

Birthing her vision of the future before your eyes, how she hopes it will be... free from class war, poverty and consent issues.

Also dragging the overdue spectre of what it is more likely to be: t-shirt feminism, Jordan Peterson and corporate wokeness from her loins.

All without an epidural.

Rob Beckett is back on tour with a brand-new stand-up show. It’s been a busy few years for the Mouth of the South and he’s coming to see you to fill you in and make you laugh.

One man. One Mission. Is it possible? No, not really.
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.
