THURSDAY 28TH MAY – A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER – acclaimed play by Marie Jones, brought to life by actor Matthew Forsythe (who you might remember singing as part of The Soda Pops – one of our LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM series).
This iconic story about nation and identity was revived and performed on stage by Soda Bread Theatre in 2019.

Brought to you on Facebook in three evening installments (THURSDAY 28th, FRIDAY 29th and SUNDAY 31st at 8:30 PM)
FRIDAY 29TH MAY – ESSENTIALS: A wry, new, six-part radio drama from John Godber, which takes place over breakfast in the kitchen of a Yorkshire family. Tension, comedy, and burnt toast whilst they wrestle with the realities of Lockdown UK.

Jo Caulfield & Simon Evans: Live From Their Living Rooms
Join two of Radio 4’s most popular comedy broadcasters, and two of the country’s most consistently brilliant live performers, Jo Caulfield and Simon Evans, for a FREE live streamed show hosted by resident Your Place Comedy compere, Tim FitzHigham.
Both Jo and Simon have been seen on BBC2’s Mock the Week and Live At The Apollo, as well as, between them, starring on BBC1’s Have I Got News For You and Question Time, BBC2’s Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Channel 4’s Stand Up For The Week. Each is a regular on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth and Just A Minute, while Jo has starred in three series of her own show, It’s That Jo Caulfield Again, and Simon has written and presented five series of Simon Evans Goes To Market.
Hosted by Tim FitzHigham (writer and star of Radio 4’s The Gambler, presenter of CBBC’s Super Human Challenge and Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee), this is the third show in a brand new initiative from a group of small, independent theatres and arts centres in northern England to both support performers and continue bringing live entertainment to their audiences during these difficult times.
The event is FREE to watch but there will be an option to donate if you have enjoyed the broadcast, with all money raised being distributed equally among the supporting venues (including this one!), each of whom are navigating their way through some challenging financial times.
To watch the show, and for more information, please visit www.yourplacecomedy.co.uk
‘Doors’ open at 7:45pm on Sunday 7th June, so grab a drink and secure your seat on the front row!
May contain adult themes and language.
