Edinburgh Fringe Preview Night

We’re excited to bring you not one but TWO fringe previews on the same night. First up Jon Hipkiss will return to Edinburgh with his show, The Wild One, that was nominated for the Audience Choice Award at the Leicester Comedy Festival. Featuring no agenda, no theme and politics, the show will deliver nothing more than a night of laughter. Rising to become one of the UK’s most hyperkinetic and crowd-pleasing performers, Jon’s performances have seen sold out shows across Edinburgh and beyond. His other touring show, a one-man improvised comedy, is currently trailing the UK in theatres and has seen sold out shows in Newcastle, Birmingham and London. The Wild One also took to the main house stage at The Norbury Theatre for the legendary Rik Mayall Comedy Festival in the summer of 2025. “His set was on fire – 4 Stars” – The National (Scotland). “Hilarious” – Larry Dean”. “Laugh out loud funny,” Jon Richardson. Support for Jack Whitehall. After a break to top up your glasses we welcome the return of Dave Chawner, a number 1 best selling author, award winning stand up, presenter & mental heath campaigner. Entitled Dave Chawner; Dry Humour……..Dave’s given up booze…but does that make him sober? A sharp, self-deprecating look at ageing, changing & identity. As seen on BBC, ITV & Channel 5. Heard on Radio 1, Radio 2 & Radio 4. “Hilariously entertaining” – Mail On Sunday. He’s truly one of the best comics in the country and a great supporter of Live Comedy across the UK.

Evesham Comedy Club with Matt Richardson & Angela Barnes

Join us as our resident host, TV’s Matt Richardson, introduces some of the finest comedy talent in the land! Headlining is the wonderful Angela Barnes. Direct from her latest UK Tour – Angst, Angela is a firm favourite on the comedy scene. Before becoming a comedian, Angela worked in health and social care. In 2011, she won the BBC New Comedy Award and became a finalist at the 2011 Latitude Festival New Act of the Year competition. Since then Angela has become a regular on BBC’s The News Quiz, Newsjack and Mock The Week. She has also appeared on BBC Three’s Russell Howard’s Good News, Russell Kane’s Whistle Stop Tour (BBC Radio 2), and BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show. “Feels like a sure-fire bet the instant she utters her opening lines.” (The Scotsman). “The pace is fast, the material strong and the delivery perfect” (Chortle). “She’s just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight-talking and extremely funny comic” (The Guardian). Supporting Angela are two other great comics: Kate Martin – At 6ft 1, with the longest wingspan in comedy (*probably), Kate’s a naturally engaging, energetic performer with effortlessly tight gags to match. Kate was a finalist of the Funny Women Stage Awards 2022, runner-up in the finals of the WDCF New Comedian of the Year competition 2021, and in 2021 won the Comedy Store’s King Gong, Up the Creeks Blackout, and the Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog.

Volante Strings

Programme to include: Bach Double Violin Concerto BWV 1043 Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings Op.48 Respilghi Ancient Airs and Dances Based in Worcestershire, Volante Strings was formed in 1999 by Megan Webb and the late Angela Richey. Angela led the orchestra and was passionate in her championing of string music. The group generally play chamber style without a conductor which means working very closely with each other in rehearsal in order to achieve a high standard of concert performance. The programmes encompass a varied and challenging range of styles, from classical, through contemporary to light and the repertoire covers music from as far back as the sixteenth century right up to the present day. Victoria Lee is the leader, musical director and occasional soloist; at this concert she will be joined by player Sarah Vernon in Bach’s Double Violin Concerto.
