Enjoy an evening on the Tea Lawn with one of the world’s leading harpists and award winning sax: ‘Ukraine meets West Africa’ an evening on the Tea Lawn.
Harpist Alina Bzhezhinska joins tenor saxophonist Tony Kofi in a duo that unites the music styles of the Ukraine and West Africa and celebrates the harmony between the harp and the saxophone.
Undoubtedly one of the leading harpists in the world today, Alina Bzhezhinska (a.k.a. AlinaHipHarp) is a one-woman powerhouse on a mission to bring harp to the forefront of contemporary sound. Bzhezhinska is the creator of HipHarpCollective, who recently won the Parliamentary Jazz Award’s Best Ensemble of the Year 2024. The group’s double LP “Reflections” (BBE Music) won best album of the year 2023 by Preston Music and Alina Bzhezhinska’s Quartet was nominated for Best Live Act of the Year at JazzFM Awards 2017.
Tony Kofi is a multi award winning saxophonists, a recording career that has seen collaborations with Donald Byrd, Eddie Henderson, Abdullah Ibrahim and Ornette Coleman to name a few. Kofi’s solowork, in particular his 2020 album ‘A Different Kind Of Soul’ and his recently reissued ‘Plays Monk’ cement his reputation as one of the UK’s most accomplished saxophonists.
‘…Bzhezhinska shares with Alice (Coltrane) a mastery of the jazz harp.’ ★★★★★ The Times

“Masterful physical comedy.”
— Ed Spotlight
★★★★★ “Funny, emotional, and intelligent.”
— Arts Awards Voice
From the creators of Boris & Sergey comes a one-hour, one-man show brimming with puppetry, physical comedy, and mime. Hilarious, absurd, and often magical, this captivating performance juxtaposes themes of loneliness and belonging with pure joy and exhilaration. With pathos, dark humour, and Victorian aesthetics, it creates a wonderfully mysterious backdrop for a poetic and surreal journey – all with a generous sprinkle of silliness.
★★★★★
“The perfect musical comedy act – it should not be missed.”
— Broadway Baby
Taylor Swift had Eras. Otto & Astrid go through Stages.
Fresh from Glastonbury Festival, Berlin’s Prince and Princess of Art Rock and Europop—Otto & Astrid of Die Roten Punkte—blast through a blisteringly hilarious set of songs from (almost) all of their albums.
The utterly dysfunctional siblings are a lipstick-smeared sonic collision of The B-52s, The Pixies, Kraftwerk, and early Ramones.
This multi-award-winning duo has taken the stage everywhere from Soho Theatre in London to Joe’s Pub in New York and The Roxy in Los Angeles.
One of the most irreverently side-splitting gigs you’ll ever see, packed with ridiculously infectious songs.
★★★★★
“Theatre of Cruelty, Grand Guignol and Grotesque, performed magnificently”
– Artshub
★★★★
“A suffocating yet hopeful piece of must-see physical theatre”

Symbolically based on true events, The Weight of Shadow explores mental health deterioration through dance, mime, and aerial acrobatics. Inspired by Sasha’s partner, Ciana Fitzgerald, it reflects the enigmatic language of the psyche.
Immersing audiences in a psychiatric patient’s 24-hour struggle to grasp reality, the show offers a poignant exploration of resilience, inner turmoil, and the complexities of mental illness.
★★★★

“Pick of the Fringe”
— Ian Rankin
Spurs and Scotland star John White was one of the best footballers of the 1960s. However, in July 1964, he was struck by lightning and killed at just 27 years old. From humble beginnings outside Edinburgh to football fame and his tragic death, the play captures John’s cheeky humour and follows the journey of his son, Rob White, who was only five months old when his father died.
The Ghost of White Hart Lane premiered at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in July 2024 — the first live play performed at the venue — before a sell-out month-long run at Underbelly, Edinburgh Fringe last summer.
Based on the Sunday Times bestseller by Rob White and Julie Welch, the play was commissioned to mark 60 years since John White’s passing. This deeply personal and nostalgic story offers a fresh perspective on grief, growing up without a father, and male mental health.
Loved by audiences and critics alike, The Ghost of White Hart Lane returns to North London by popular demand this summer

“One of Britain’s outstanding poets”
— Sir Paul McCartney
“Fantastically entertaining. As a writer of comic prose Clarke is the match of anyone alive, and his turns of phrase are as sharp as his suits”
— The Times
A literary phenomenon and ‘Godfather of Punk Poetry‘, John Cooper Clarke has shaped music, literature, and fashion. From his iconic poem I Wanna Be Yours — a global hit with the Arctic Monkeys — to Evidently Chickentown featuring in The Sopranos, his influence is undeniable.
Rising from Salford’s working men’s clubs to sharing stages with Joy Division, The Clash, and the Sex Pistols, John became one of punk’s most important figures. His sharp-witted performances blend classic verse, new material, and hilarious riffs on modern life.
With a 2025 tour set for major venues like the London Palladium and Co-op Live, this is a rare chance to see a living legend up close at Jacksons Lane.
