First-class comedian with a string of accolades. He was a finalist in the Channel 4 'So You Think You're Funny' Competition 2002. He then graduated to being the winner of the Gift Of The Gag 2003 and BBC Comedy Awards 2003 competitions. In recent times he's been seen on TV's 'Mock The Week'. A surefire star of the future.

In an amazing display of virtuosic skill, Arturo Brachetti brings over one hundred characters to the stage in a unique and spectacular show that simply has to be seen to be believed. From James Bond to the Queen via Johnny Rotten, he transforms between characters in the blink of an eye in an astonishing display of the time-honoured art of quick change. Arturo's own distinct brands of humour and charm combine with eye-popping illusions in a show that tells the story of a famed entertainer whose memories of his illustrious career come to life.

A theatrical phenomenon, Arturo Brachetti has almost single-handedly revived the lost art of quick change (practiced in Italy since the sixteenth century) with his vast repertoire of characters. In his new show, CHANGE, Brachetti tells the story of a legendary artiste of the Golden Age of cabaret, an unparalleled theatre magician, who, after a career that has taken him to some of the greatest theatres in the world, will finally take his place on the stage of London's West End.

Arturo Brachetti has amazed worldwide audiences with his performances as an actor, comedian and illusionist on television and film as well as in the theatre. In 1999, he created his signature show A Man with a Thousand Faces which has been seen by over 1,250,000 people all over the world and has won the Molière Award in Paris (equivalent to Britain's Olivier Award) and Quebec's Olivier Award.

A brand new stand-up show for 2009/2010!

Critically acclaimed BAFTA-winning comedian Lee Mack returns to the live stage with a hotly anticipated new show.  Lee will be bringing his trademark brand of high energy banter, well crafted gags and sharp one-liners to venues across the country on his biggest ever live stand-up tour.   

Lee is best known to BBC One viewers as the star of multi-award winning Not Going Out and as team captain on Would I Lie To You?

The hilarious follow-up to last year's hit, Boys Of The Empire! We go aboard Imperial Airways with four intrepid English boy scouts who are on their way to British India for a jamboree with scouts from all over the globe (most of which is owned by us, anyway).  Naturally, villainy is afoot - again.  They crash land in Afghanistan, a dangerous wilderness where outlaws of the east plot against the white races and threaten the stability of the Raj.  Can these strong, brave and honest boys defeat the Afghan hordes and make it a country safe to camp in - rather like England!

You'll just have to wait and see in a ripping story of bare knees, young pluck and stern endeavour.

Swedish company Cirkus Cirkör has developed a cult following around the world with its spectacular blend of acrobatics and storytelling, laced with style and humour.

The company's latest show, Inside Out is a celebration of circus - its technical skillfulness, enduring magic and refreshing outlook on life. Inspired by the mysteries of the human body, a cast of eight multi-skilled performers balance on knife edges and challenge gravity as they tell the story of two very different characters, whose worlds are quite literally twisted upside down when they come into contact with a circus company of bizarre, magical oddballs.
