If you like food, you’ll love this…
Internationally acclaimed comedian George Egg is also a rather fanatical self-taught cook with a somewhat anarchic approach to making meals. As obsessed with culinary matters as he is with comedic ones, and finding himself dissatisfied with the quality and cost of takeaways and room-service meals while touring the stand-up comedy clubs of the world, George embarks on a project to take matters into his own surprisingly capable hands.
A surreal and absurd mix of stand-up comedy and striking innovation – in the words of Jay Rayner – “You’ll never look at a Corby trouser press in the same way again”
“It’s an hilarious show, with surprisingly good food.” The Times
“It is refreshing to encounter a performer who really is unique.” The Telegraph
“Absolutely glorious.” The Scotsman

Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.
Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.
There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.
