A sparkling new version of everyone�s favourite love story.

In the village of Granderriere, Belle has been captured by the Beast and is locked up in his castle.

Belle has a tough job ahead of her but the evil Madame de Spicable is there to thwart her every move. Luckily she has her friend Bibi on her side, ably abetted (but sometimes hindered) by Dame Betty Bouffant, owner of some of the most outrageous hairdos Yorkshire has ever seen!

Can Belle prove to the Beast that beauty is not just skin deep?

Can she ensure that true love finally wins through?

Marvellous music, a cracking cast, stunning scenery and a huge dollop of fun make Beauty and the Beast the perfect present for the whole family!

Friday 3rd October - First Birthday Special!

CHARLIE CHUCK: 'A bona fide comedy cult legend' - Daily Mail

He lives on a farm with One Eyed Dog, a Cakey Pig and a Donkey! Welcome to the fantastic world of Charlie Chuck, a true living legend of comedy.

Charlie's act and catchphrases are legendary after stints on Vic & Bob's The Smell of Reeves &
Mortimer as Uncle Peter, The James Whale radio & TV shows and most recently ITV2’s Comedy Cuts. A manic and sometimes bewildering stage presence make him one of the most remarkable performers working the circuit, with an array of one liners, catchphrases and mannerisms that genuinely defy belief yet consistently tickle the funny bone.

A cult following that's not confined to the UK means Charlie Chuck always draws a crowd wherever he performs. He has even performed at a birthday party as a special guest of Sir Paul McCartney.

SULLY O’SULLIVAN

“A blast of hilarity...I gasp with laughter and a small amount of beer tries to escape through my nose.” - Manchester Evening News

Improviser and multiple award winning exponent of interactive standup New Zealand native Sully
O’Sullivan has performed professionally all over the world, from Ohio to Oman. However far that is. A four season veteran of New Zealand’s award winning TV standup showcase ‘Pulp Comedy’, he’s been nominated for the Kiwi Comedy Industry's supreme award by the NZ Comedy Trust, and by his fellow performers for the title of NZ's Best MC.

Friday 7 November

TOM PRICE

‘Hilarious’ – Daily Mirror.

Eloquent storytelling wit as seen on Channel 5's 'Swinging', presenting MTV’s ‘Senseless’ and as PC Andy Davidson in BBC’s ‘Torchwood’. He looks like he’s just come straight off Country File; with his foppish quiffed, blonde hair, rustic brown jacket, wide-eyed, toothy smile and terribly posh dialect. He could probably only be more so if he carried a hunting stick and had Ben Fogle on a lead.

And that’s the point of view for his material (not Ben Fogle); his boarding school upbringing, class culture clashes, a genial naivety concerning life issues and transposing subculture clichés into his ‘upper class’ bubble.

His delivery is calm, confident and easy-going; his clean cut, youthful appearance makes him pleasant to watch and he does not employ any kind of physical comedy or eccentric mannerisms to distract from his material or compensate for the lack thereof.

MICHAEL FABBRI

‘A brilliant new talent’ Ed Byrne

Looking like a long lost member of Blur Michael started performing as a stand up five years ago and in 2003 reached the final of Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny? He is now appearing regularly at many of the major comedy venues across the UK. He has a dark and honest approach to some of life’s more touchy subjects, yet his ability to effortlessly slip from
some harsh controversial topics to light-hearted silliness makes for a refreshingly eclectic act.


Friday 5 December

ROB AND SKATZ

‘Undoubtedly the funniest songs on the comedy circuit. Jaw-droppingly good’- The Stage

Rising from open-spots to national headliners in just a year, renowned award-winning performer Rob Gee and highly respected musician (albeit with a silly name) Skatz have pooled their collective writing and musical talents with a storming set of songs on the slightly seedy side of life. As seen on ITV’s ‘Comedy Café’, their infectious onstage antics generates more energy in a room than a warehouse full of Duracell batteries. And with better punchlines.

KEVIN BLAND

""A good humoured, relaxed comic..Twenty minutes in his company is effortlessly enjoyable."" - Chortle

Winner - Three Minute Warning ""Hardcore Legends"", Limelight, Crewe 2005

Kevin is a writer and stand up comedian who is, quite frankly, old enough to know better.

Living proof that a mid life crisis can swiftly escalate into a full blown disaster if left unattended; he stumbled onto a stage in June 2005 to tell some jokes. He never looked back. Which was a good thing. No audience back there.

Following this first performance, in which his ability to face the correct way was enthusiastically received, Kevin was smitten by the business of show and proved his love for his new mistress by rattling up a succession of gigs at the alarmingly pedestrian rate of 1.42 a month, or nearly a third of a gig a week.

However, with the New Year came a new determination to 'up his game' and the gigs have been coming thick and fast. He is also, quite possibly, the only onomatopoeic comedian on the circuit, blessed as he is with a name that suits him just fine.

He has been variously described as being slightly dull, a little grumpy and quite laid back. At various times, some or all of these descriptions are correct.
