Join Peter Bleksley, a founding member of Scotland Yard’s undercover unit and former star of Channel 4’s Hunted, as he lifts the lid on the most dangerous and hidden aspects of murder investigations. From the gritty realities of infiltrating criminal gangs to his own terrifying experience of becoming the target of a murder plot, Peter shares the untold stories of the most high-stakes cases. For over a decade, Peter worked undercover, posing as everything from drug dealers to contract killers. His double life gave him access to the darkest corners of humanity, uncovering secrets that would save lives - but at the cost of his own safety. Forced into witness protection by an FBI-uncovered assassination plot, his career as a detective came to an abrupt end, leaving him with chilling memories of murderers and the justice system that hunts them. Prepare for an unforgettable evening of true crime as Peter Bleksley reveals the harrowing reality behind solving murders and battling the criminal underworld. This is crime-fighting as you’ve never seen it before.

Piff & Pop's Magic Shoppe

This unique show is the result of the pairing of legendary magician Penn Jillette, of world-renowned duo Penn & Teller, (who will tour the UK for the first time without his 50-year companion Teller) teaming up with comedy-magician phenomenon Piff the Magic Dragon, star and fan-favourite from America’s Got Talent. These shows will also be London born Piff The Magic Dragon’s (John van der Put) first UK shows in over a decade since he moved from his birthplace in Forest Hill southeast London to Las Vegas. Their brand-new show, Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe, promises a night of jaw-dropping magic, side-splitting comedy, and unforgettable showmanship. Split in two halves, Act one will feature a solo act from both Pop (Penn Jillette) and Piff The Magic Dragon along with Mr Piffles – the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua. Each will take to the stage to showcase their signature styles of magic, wit and wonder from Penn’s sharp storytelling and world-class sleight of hand to Piff’s eccentric comedy and offbeat illusions. Act two will see the pair return to the stage as a duo, blending their unique talents into a one-of-a-kind double act. Expect the unexpected as the ‘Dragons’ combine forces into a larger-than-life finale.

It's Not Where You Start By Scott Kyle

It's Not Where You Start By Scott Kyle

Based on the award-winning bestselling memoir of the same name, the It’s Not Where You Start live show is a powerful, uplifting, and deeply personal storytelling experience that blends theatre, autobiography, and live performance with projected animation and film. It tells the extraordinary true story of award-winning actor Scott Kyle’s journey from foster care to foster carer, from Glasgow’s back streets to award-winning stages and Hollywood film sets — including the rise, fall, and return of Singin’ I’m No a Billy, He’s a Tim, and the moment Scott almost turned down the chance to work with Harrison Ford. At its heart, It’s Not Where You Start explores resilience, identity, second chances, and the courage it takes to begin again — all delivered with warmth, humour, and emotional honesty. The show has proven particularly effective with venues that engage with community groups, care-experienced audiences, and those interested in real-life storytelling, theatre, and film. - “If it’s only one memoir of second chances you read/see/listen to this year, I highly recommend It’s Not Where You Start.” - Louise Cannon - Bookmarks and Stages - “An amazing story and well worth your time, superb animations.” – Nicola McCartney, award-winning playwright & director - “A really well-told TED Talk with beautiful animations… such an engaging, humble, and honest performer.” — Cora Bissett
