Following a very successful event last year, the fourth annual 'Grand Rock Out' sees local bands take to the stage to raise funds for the New Spaces Appeal.

A real showcase for local talent.

Who's the comic with an ear for dialogue and a bod for sin? Triple Perrier award nominee, veteran fringe sell out and winner of the 2009 Dave Award for the 'Funniest Joke of the Fringe', Dan Antopolski presents his seventh solo stand-up show.

Jokes? Yes sir! Raps? Almost certainly. Fun? you bet your mum.

With Dan are Domestic Goddi Wonderland

In a brand new sketch show, Yummy Mummy Rosie Wilkinson weans her baby on sashimim and udon noodles, whilst running over pensioners with her 4x4 buggy; clinically single Helen O'Brien reminisces about assinated presidents and guerilla sales shopping; borderline homeowner Genevieve Swallow studies for a PhD in game show formats with good bacteria. Weak, limp, lifeless? Domestic Goddi Wonderland will restore your healthy shine!

After 22 years of successful seasons at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Ken Webster finally brings to us his outrageous sense of humour.

This show is an adults only assault on the senses. Described as a cross between Darren Brown and Chubby Brown, Ken will take you on a hilarious journey into the human mind.

See your friends on stage as you have never seen them before. Described by many as 'The best Hypnotist you will ever see' prepare yourself for an evening of laughter, plain, simple PURE LAUGHTER.

They say all political careers end in tears. In Gyles Brandreth's case it's tears of laughter as the actor, author, One Show reporter, former MP and government whip turns stand-up. This is Brandreth unleashed on the stars he's known (one to one) and the wicked ways of Westminster (no expenses spared). Without hesitation or repetition (and just a touch of deviation), 'Just a Minute' regular, Gyles delivers a dazzling evening of wit, wordplay and hilarious name dropping.

Merseymania originated from the most famous club in the world - The Cavern in Liverpool. Within minutes of the start of the show you'll understand why the musical craze swept across the globe so quickly.

Fronted by Scouser Steve Quillion, Merseymania recartures the exciting times of 1965 and 1969. Featuring great songs by the Beatles, Searchers, Stones, Driftersd, The Who ... etc.

With a stage set to help recreate the club's atmosphere, the show features pulsating live music, Scouce humour, choreography and audience participation.

Some surprise guests may 'pop-in' too!

Emma Hornet, a domestic tyrant, continuously bullies her ferret-fancier husband Henry and his sister, Edie. She is not amused when her precious daughter chooses orphan sailor Albert Tufnell as a prospective husband. Further complications arise for Albert, when due to a misunderstanding, Shirley suspects him of flirting with her bridesmaid and poor Albert becomes aware that there is a good deal of her mother in his bride. Sparks fly and worms turn as they battle it out in this classic comedy.

Hilarious by Name      Hilarious by Nature

The superstars of slapstick once again create madness and mayhem with their zany humour and slapstick comedy.

Together with Mick Potts' Clownforce, Surprise international artistes and the stunning Hilarious Dancers.

Prepare to laugh your socks off!
