QUEER AF  6 April

‘‘Who murdered Straight Sam?!’’

Queer AF, written and performed by Rah Ford, is a murder mystery musical comedy about the journey towards celebrating being queer. 

Queer Sam and Detective Sam set out to solve the murder of Straight Sam. With musical numbers and a murder board, their hopes of solving this case are high. Until they start looking into motives.

‘‘These investigations are never easy. The more you find, the messier it gets.’’ 

Their digging around leads them to exploring themes of religion, getting outed and gatekeeping within the LGBTQIA+ community. With the help of the audience, can they figure out who did it?

Directed by Annalena Lipinski, this one-person show takes the audience on a ride, leaving them gayer than when they first came in.

Courtney’s +1 – because comedy is better with company (and because Courtney cannot stand to be alone with her thoughts).
Award-winning comedian Courtney (BBC Creator Lab, 30M+ views online, 4-star sold-out EdFringe debut, Best of Comedy winner @ Fuse Festival) is back with a brand-new show. But this time, she’s not coming alone.
Each show, Courtney invites an incredibly talented comedy star to the stage, giving them 30 minutes to test out their freshest, funniest material. Meanwhile, Courtney will be doing the same as she’s on a mission to generate 24 brand-new stories for her next absurd instalment of: I Wrote This Show Last Night.
A night of bold risks, brilliant stand-up and some of the most talented comedians around. Come for the chaos and be a part of the creation of both comedian’s newest shows.​

This April Courtney is BEYOND thrilled to be joined by Sophie Garrad.  

Sophie Garrad has been commanding the stage with her high-status humour for the last three years. She was a finalist at the prestigious So You Think You're Funny competition and marked as Funny Women's 'one to watch'. She has quickly been gaining success online, with her videos and sketches amassing over 70 million views across Instagram and TikTok.

SIDE QUEST

4th May, 29th June & 3rd August

TICKETS

A hilarious fantasy tale where you choose the adventure!

Come merry folk from yonder to craft an original tale with aid from your 'Story Master' and a sprinkle of imagination. Fill in a character sheet, then watch your creations spring to life as they embark on an epic quest… or go way off track. Will they fight a dragon? Save a village of pixies? Or get stuck in a dungeon and eat their shoes? Anything can happen! Your characters, your locations, their fate is in your hands. Come and roll the dice. A fantasy fun filled show for all.

The Dirty 20 are a theatrical comedy group based in Sheffield. A band of improvisers, comedians, musicians and actors. They have been performing together in various shows for over 5 years.

Their latest and most successful show is Side Quest. It is the brainchild of Terri Silver. A comedian and writer who plays the role of the story master. A narrator and helpful guide for the audience, who is a hilarious character themselves. The unscripted show immediately became popular in Sheffield and they soon began performing sell out shows across Yorkshire. A combination of fantasy, tabletop roleplay games and an improvised narrative comedy show.

Before the show, audiences fill out character sheets which the performers then embody. These costumed, larger than life characters then go on a unique journey. The audience gets to control the direction of the story in the style of a 'choose your own adventure'. We have a giant dice for people to roll to determine the outcome of the protagonist's decisions and the very fate of the story. Side Quest has struck a chord with people as they indulge in this whimsical journey of silliness. They are now touring around the UK and have played gaming conventions and festivals. 

Side Quest brings in people of all backgrounds and the introverted out of their caves. If you love RPG’s and fantasy then this will not disappoint, but the silliness of Side Quest is infectious to everyone.

“The whole cancer thing is shit. People never say that to you, you want them to but they don’t”.
A muddy football pitch under a hungover council sky somewhere in the North of England; two old friends meet to play the national sport and talk . A bad day in goal is one thing a bad result from the cancer specialist is another. A story told all too often of cancer and it’s often tragic consequences. Darkly comedic and poignant this heartwarming moment of genuine connection unfolds; leading to a touching reminder that even in our darkest hours the bonds of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit bring hope.
FUFC speaks to the challenges that unite us all.
