Two absurd Gladiators worship an onstage Amazon Alexa, their all-powerful overlord, who commands them to battle each other, perform ridiculous feats, or invite the audience into increasingly silly games. The crowd is split in two, each side backing their Champion.
Audience members can even take to the stage in games that decide the Gladiators’ fate. Between contests (games), expect highly choreographed slapstick fight sequences, with the audience controlling the soundtrack via Alexa, from Eye of the Tiger to Kpop demon hunters Golden. It’s ridiculous, competitive, and entirely in your hands.

Age range & Trigger warnings:
We recommend 5+ but down to parental discretion.
Audience shouting and performers can be too loud for younger ones.
Comedy violence, slapstick
Children must be accompanied by an adult and remain in their care throughout the performance. 😀

Joe’s Story, the exhibition of works by Briony Hallas, will now be showing in our Bridge Gallery until 31st July.
The exhibition tells a very personal story which encourages everyone to speak out after abuse and to seek and accept help.
Please remember:

It’s ok to not be ok
It’s ok to talk
It’s ok to ask for, and accept, help. 😀

The 4 Johns bring you their difficult second show.
"Frank Sidebottom Callling" is a brilliant spoken word comedy show. Funny, satirical, original, challenging, innovative and unique. With sketches, comedy and relevant and engaging poetry, the show is highly original, anarchic, fast-paced, relentless and very entertaining throughout.
The show takes a sledgehammer to the myth of celebrity, hero worship and fame in a way that will make you laugh out loud, chuckle under your breath and groan in shameful self-acknowledgement.
The 4 Johns are known for their hilarious and innovative shows which often explore the struggle between grand ambitions and mundane tasks. Their performances typically blend humour, irreverence and poignant moments making them a unique and entertaining act.
Reviews
“This show is brilliant and a definite must-see! ”
“Amazing, funny, sidesplitting. I've not laughed so much in a long time.”
“Brilliant night, haven’t laughed so much in ages”
"It’s a good show where I laughed involuntarily at quite a few points plus chuckles and groans at others"
The evening includes performances from 2 amazing special guests - the fantastic Jacob Davies and the brilliant Jimmy Andrex.
