Suitcase Circus
Location
Suitcase Circus is a delightfully heart-warming and interactive family-friendly spectacular.
Meet Wobulous Discombobulous, the anarchic sock as he presents a line up of extraordinarily talented performing objects, all with their own unique and captivating storylines. Suitcase Circus features the most unlikely of performers including the world's only acrobatic potato sack, a daredevil ski glove, an incredible dancing milkshake straw, the hypnotic tie snake Windsor Knot, and the lovable yet bizarre magical Mexican hat Timrek. As with all quality circuses there is wonderful musical accompaniment.

Stalag Happy
Location
Stalag Happy is the award winning play based on the true story of the artists Sir Terry Frost and Adrian Heath whilst interned in the WWII PoW Camp Stalag 383. Stalag Happy is a real-life tale of the human spirit’s ability to find art and beauty in the most terrible and unlikely of conditions.
This remarkable journey is portrayed through the use of sharp, comic, often touching dialogue - imaginative and inventive design - and a suitably nostalgic 1940s soundtrack. Devised and performed by Edward Elks and Dan Frost (Grandson of the late Sir Terry Frost).
Bought to you by the fantastic team behind Botallack O'Clock, which was awarded 5* in Time Out, this little gem of a play is making it's return to London with two nights at our little venue.

George Keeler.....The Satyr
Marcel Lucont....Laconic Frenchman flâneur, raconteur, bon-viveur and easily the greatest UK-based French comedian around.
CHARLIE CHUCK
Charlie Chuck's act and catchphrases are legendary after stints on Vic & Bob's 'The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer' as Uncle Peter, and The James Whale Radio & TV Show's. A manic and sometimes bewildering stage presence make him one of the most remarkable performers working the circuit, with an array of one liners, catchphrases and mannerisms that defy belief.

John Otway + Flameproof Moth + Liz Bentley @ The Goose Is Out!
Location
John Otway + Flameproof Moth + Liz Bentley. @ The Goose Is Out! Saturday 3rd December. The Ivy House, Stuart Road. SE15 3BE. Ticket info below. Doors 7pm.
A manic presence, and a true "one-off", John first became notorious back in 1977 after an appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test with his former partner Wild Willy Barrett.
He had leapt astride Wild Willy's amplifier, and lost his footing. One leg slipped on one side of the sturdy wooden piece of musical equipment, and the other leg down the other. The whole weight of Otway's body crashed down on the most delicate parts of his body.
This sort of behaviour went down exceedingly well with the punk audiences of the time, and Otway was rewarded with his first hit "Cor Baby, That's Really Free", a recording contract worth a million in today's money, and a sizeable live audience.
