One hundred voices. Two choirs. One powerful night.
Directed by folk duo Suthering, Wheelhouse Folk Choir and The Great Sea Choir join together for a raw and moving performance rooted in folk music but spanning a wide range of genres. A show that urges us all to look for hope and unity during dark times.
"In a world which feels as if it's slowly growing darker, these small yet beautifully crafted musical gems are the glimmer of light we all need." — Sam Blackledge, ITV

This Friday! A hilarious, demented hour of family, fresh starts and questionable decisions.
After just four months of dating her new boyfriend, Tamsyn Kelly blew up her life to be with him. Leaving sunshine Penzance and Cornish coastlines, for dark and rainy Glasgow. With family and friends doubting her decision, Tamsyn struggles to fit into her new life.
Has she made a mistake? Or will they walk hand in hand into the sunset? Even if it is at 2.36pm…
Expect tales of adult friendship disasters, psychic relationship advice, and the peculiar economics of Vinted.
As seen on ITV2, Comedy Central, BBC One, BBC Three, and BBC Radio 4.Winner: Comedy Awards Panel Prize, Best in Class (2022).

First up tonight we have A WAY WITH WORDS
A WAY WITH WORDS
Beneath The Tracksuit
A Way With Words is a spoken word show that blends poetry, storytelling and lived experience, delivered with warmth, humour and honesty. The performance moves between light, relatable moments and deeper reflections on mental health, disability and everyday struggles, creating space for both laughter and silence. It’s conversational rather than theatrical, focused on connection over perfection. Each piece stands alone, but together they form a journey that’s raw, human and accessible. This is poetry without pretence real words, real stories, and a performer inviting the audience to meet him where he is, beneath the tracksuit.

Britain didn't collapse overnight. It just slowly came apart.
Five strangers. A system designed to keep them apart. And the quiet cost of feeling in a world that tells you not to. Touched is bold, timely and hits close to home.
