Witch Hunt @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 14 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Following their sell-out, award-winning show Enter The Dragons, A&E Comedy (Abigail Dooley and Emma Edwards, “a brilliant comedy coupling” Total Theatre) return with a spell-binding, surreal and darkly hilarious tale, directed by Cal McCrystal.

“I think they are amazing!!” Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Witch Hunt weaves a cautionary fairytale for our time. It celebrates the wisdom of the witch, unpacks the notion of predator and conjures a world of coven-ready weird sisters.

“Watch out, there are wild women about.  Knicker-Wettingly funny” Total Theatre

A ritualistic voodoo brouhaha designed to enchant and hex the pricks and predators; imagine Vic and Bob doing The Crucible.

Using buffoon, puppetry and magic and armed with a ‘wiccan’ sense of humour, A&E Comedy ask “can we use witchcraft to take down the Patriarchy?” Yes we can!

Night Light @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
May 30 @ 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm

Night Light is a 1-hour, 3-act, fast-paced, conversational comedy. 3 children in their mid-20s put off growing up until they’re forced to let go of each other’s hands and pass on the night light.

Our Irish duo Robyn and Rian take on the harsh realities of living in central London, Randy attempts to write his way out of his situation, and Laura tries to teach them all there is more to life than nerf gun fights, in-jokes and a mattress that wasn’t built for three.

Directed by Tom Chandler (Juliet & Romeo).

Laughter is the Best Medicine @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Nov 13 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Research suggests that laughter can offer stress relief, soothe tension, improve mood and even relieve pain. This charity comedy event will put that to the test, and endeavour to show case that Laughter is the Best Medicine.

With the genius comedy stylings of Ali Woods (“In a world of wannabes, Woods is the real deal” – The Evening Standard), Elf Lyons (“Praise her genius” – The Telegraph), Raj Poojara (BBC New Comedy Awards Regional Finalist, 2Northdown Comedian of the Year Finalist) and Markus Birdman (Britain’s Got Talent 2023 Semi-Finalist), the event promises to be a night of laughter and good deeds.

The evening event will be raising money for InspireUK – The Charity, a small charity which offers low-cost and accessible therapy for those who need it, with a particular focus on marginalised communities.

Running Time: TBC
