Oli Riordan has spent a decade studying Catholic theology, confounding lecturers and missionaries alike with questions such as “As a carpenter, what did Jesus think of the workmanship of the crucifix?” and “Was Noah’s ark the first redemption arc?”.
Join Oli as he takes you through a very brief history of Christianity in this debut comedy show, pausing only to point out the absurd, interesting and thoroughly human aspects of the world's largest religion.
Oli Riordan is not a theologian. He is a theologist.

In this captivating magic and mind-reading spectacle, prepare to be spellbound as the enigmatic magician, Chris Dodd, delves into the depths of fear itself. "F.E.A.R" stands for Fabulous, Enchanting, Astonishing, Risky, and this show lives up to every letter of its name.
Audiences are taken on a mesmerising journey through the realms of both rational and irrational fears. From the fear of spiders to the terror of heights, and even the peculiar dread of the color yellow (xanthophobia), each phobia becomes a gateway to wonder and mystery. With each flick of the wrist and each mind-bending illusion, Chris not only captivates but also educates, showing that fear can be conquered and even celebrated.
Through a blend of theatrical magic and mind-reading feats, "F.E.A.R" transcends mere entertainment, offering a profound exploration of human emotion and psychology. As illusions unfold seamlessly, fear itself seems to melt away, leaving the audience awestruck and inspired.
Prepare to confront your fears in the most enchanting way possible, as "F.E.A.R" promises an evening where the impossible becomes possible, and fear itself becomes a thrilling adventure into the unknown.
Chris Dodd has performed worldwide for well over twenty years. He performs regularly for high profile guests and executives at corporate events, weddings and private parties. He is a member of the world-renowned Magic Circle, and one trick you will see tonight was broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Magic on the radio? You have to hear it to believe it!

Medicine is an absurdist comedy that reflects on how we treat those we call “mentally ill”.
It follows the two Mary’s as they help John Kane deal with his memories and past trauma through the medium of Drama Therapy.

The 2 Mary’s take different approaches towards helping John, both fighting for their way to help him and it ends with John breaking down at the hand of Mary 2.

Standup Comedian Matt Price spent 18 months training to win a trophy to honour the memory of his Grandad – Raging Bill Price - after he found some boxing trophies in his Grandad’s attic. As Kate Copstick from the Scotsman said of the show when she reviewed it at the Edinburgh Festival, “It is a story-telling, grandad-loving, face-punching, gangster-reminiscing, nursery-rhyme-singing, tear in yer eye, laugh out loud joy of an hour…”
She also described Matt’s interaction with the crowd as “beyond impressive.”
The show isn’t actually about boxing, there is a lot more to it than that. But you will definitely want to know what happens next. Most amateur fighters have their first fight within a few months. It took Matt 18 months before he was “ready.” So how and why does a painfully shy 21 year old go to a boxing gym and spend so long pursuing a sport he has zero talent for? Why does he hate Humpty Dumpty but love karaoke?
When you look at the screenshot from his fight, you might also be wondering. Which one is Matt? (It’s okay. Everyone asks that!)
This is a very funny show about getting back up when life has hit you hard. Years later and having been through some ups and downs, Matt learns something about himself that you’ll not forget! But you will love it.

Boris has been passionate about painting since childhood, and as a young adult, he is now obsessed with the idea of surpassing his lifelong idol, Jean Michel Basquiat. A strange idea that was instilled in him by his father who forced him to devote his life to art in order to exist and be recognized by his peers. One day, Boris decides to participate in a painting competition that will designate the best representation of a work by Basquiat and which could earn him the Shener Prize, a recognition he has been waiting for a long time. For 99 days and 99 nights, Boris will stubbornly paint in his studio without eating or drinking, completely cutting himself off from the outside world. Fortunately, Nina, his friend, will arrive in time before the young painter, overcome by madness and hallucinations, decides to end his life. This one-act play addresses sensitive topics such as suicide among young artists, obsession and the unhealthy side of idol worshipping, the thirst for fame, mental illness and its domino effect.
