Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy that started with the multi award winning shows Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.
Mark returns to the place where he first started to perform in public, a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour Club, to celebrate the club’s 50th birthday.
Interviewing old friends and comrades Mark pieces together the club’s history and works with the club to campaign with some of the poorest workers in the country for their rights.
It is the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community in a small wooden shed.
It is part theatre, part stand up, part journalism, part activism and returns to Mark’s obsessions of community and struggle.
The show will involve the audience (in a nice way) to help recreate the shed and its inhabitants.

Jonathan Pie is a respected News reporter for a respected News broadcaster but he has a problem. He has several problems. He hates his job. He hates his colleagues. But mainly he hates the f**king News.
Join him for this live show where he hilariously reveals the truth behind recent News events both home and abroad. He’ll also be discussing his own meteoric rise to mediocrity…and one imagines he’ll be venting plenty of spleen in the process.*
*Warning: may contain some f**king strong language.
Ages 14+

karen lane presents the music of nancy wilson & cannonball adderley
thursday 4 may
With Martin Hathaway | alto, Steve Fishwick | trumpet
Graham Harvey |piano, Simon Woolf | bass, Matt Fishwick | drums
Arriving from Australia in 2000 after performing at many of the big Asian Festivals, Karen has released five albums to critical acclaim. She’s worked with some of our finest musicians including Tom Cawley, Andy Hamill and Robin Aspland and has found herself performing in exotic places she’d never imagined she’d see including Sicily, Portafino, Nice, Monte Carlo, Berlin, Cape Town and Bucharest.
Her visit to Lauderdale House will be a unique date on the London scene when she recreates the music of Nancy Wilson. Had she not coincided with the advent of rock and soul, Nancy Wilson would have been considered one of the greatest female jazz singers of them all. Luckily she did record a number of albums with one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, Cannonball Adderley and Karen thinks it’s high time Nancy’s music was reassessed. This is going to be a concert you should not miss!
“.. a fine and distinctive singer” Dave Gelly, The Observer
“.. as accomplished.. as I have heard this year” Peter Quinn, Jazzwise
