SUMMARY:Mitch Benn: The Lehrer Effect | The Alex
DESCRIPTION:Important Notice: Fire at the Alexander Centre\nThis event is still going ahead. Following a fire in our main hall on New Year’s Eve\, this space is currently unavailable and the event has therefore been relocated to our Bar area. \nWe apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. \nTo read more about the fire and its effects\, please click HERE \n\nMitch Benn: The Lehrer Effect \nWhen\, years ago\, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer\, the course of his life was changed forever. Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer\, the creative debt he\, and all those who mix humour and melody\, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs. Since Mr. Lehrer placed his entire catalogue in public domain\, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.\n​\nTom Lehrer died at the age of 97\, immediately before the premiere of the show in Edinburgh\, which means that the show became a heart-felt eulogy rather than a living tribute to the artist.

SUMMARY:Daliso Chaponda: Topical Storm – The Faversham Assembly Rooms
DESCRIPTION:Important Notice: Fire at the Alexander Centre\nThis event was originally scheduled to take place at the Alexander Centre\, Faversham. Following a fire on New Year’s Eve\, this venue is currently out of action and the event has therefore been relocated to The Faversham Assembly Rooms\, Preston Street\, Faversham\, Kent\, ME13 8PG. \nFor venue-related enquiries (including access\, accessibility\, and parking)\, please contact The Faversham Assembly Rooms on 01795 503286. \nFor a location map for The Faversham Assembly Rooms\, please click HERE \nWe apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. \nTo read more about the fire and its effects\, please click HERE \n\nDaliso Chaponda has been writing jokes about the news for over a decade – on Have I Got News for You\, Radio 4’s News Quiz\, Australia’s Good News Week and many more besides. (In fact he’s seen the news from both sides\, having been in the tabloids himself.) But recently the news has been so absurd\, chaotic and overwhelming that it more or less mocks itself. Where do we go from here? \nTopical Storm is Daliso’s response. A show not about THE news but about news itself. Journalists\, bloggers\, fake news\, satirical news: have we lost the thread of it all? Is the reporting of news endlessly polarising us as a society rather than educating us? Would we be better off going right back to the first ever news bulletin – the original caveman drawing on a wall – and starting from scratch? Daliso does just that in this explosive new standup show. \n★★★★ ‘Full of sharp one-liners and well crafted gags…a real talent’ Metro\n‘Gets laughs out of topics other comedians shun’ The Guardian\n‘Brilliantly bold\, thoroughly engaging and provocative’ Wee Review

SUMMARY:Susan Harrison: Should I Still Be Doing This?
DESCRIPTION:Following a smash hit Edinburgh Fringe run\, award-winning character comedian Susan Harrison brings her latest collection of joyfully bizarre alter-egos to her home town of Faversham. Come to this special preview date before she heads to Soho Theatre! Is it ok to still be dressing up as weird characters as you get older? Susan might not be sure\, but a life size Sindy doll\, a panda from Chester Zoo in the 90’s and a woman who’s swallowed a small girl in a well will have plenty to say about it. Some others might turn up too. \n“A gloriously absurd\, laugh-out-loud show… as inventive as it is deliriously funny **** The List.\n‘Original\, joyful… unadulterated fun’ **** Broadway Baby\n‘Unique and hilarious’ **** Midlothian View\n‘A brilliant showcase of modern character comedy… I could’ve watched her for hours’ **** Lisa In The Theatre\n“First class coming acting” (The Guardian)\n\nAs seen/heard in: Showstopper! The Improvised Musical\, BBC Radio 4\, The Comedy Store Players\, Mischief Movie Night\, Paul Merton and Suki Webster’s Improv show.
