Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle combines Mitch's Scouse upbringing, his love of music, and a lifelong obsession with Liverpool's most famous sons in one show.
Mitch Benn was born in Liverpool in January 1970. Three months later the Beatles broke up. Coincidence? Yes.
More than 60 years on from the release of Please Please Me, Mitch once again explores the enduring legacy of the Fab Four and shamelessly milks his own (incredibly tenuous) connection to them.
Adapted from Mitch's hit Edinburgh show, Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle is a glorious mix of spot-on Beatles parodies, trivia and an endearingly personal account of his own claim to the title of 'The Fifth Beatle'.
Absent by Betool Khedairi and Penny Black 22 - 26 January 2026

1990s Baghdad, Dalal is studying French at university and looking forward to her future. But then bombs start falling and sanctions turn neighbours into informants. All around is the wreckage of war. To survive, her uncle starts an apiary, soothsayer Umm Mazin flourishes, Saad opens a hair salon and introduces her to handsome Adel... but when people start disappearing, Dalal no longer knows who to trust.
Absent, adapted as a solo performance from the novel by Betool Khedairi, is a haunting portrait of life under restrictions written with biting Iraqi humour.
Written by Penny Black
Directed by Svetlana Dimcovic
