SUMMARY:The Great Faversham Explosion 1916
DESCRIPTION:The Great Faversham Explosion\, 1916 \nAt 1.20pm on April 2\, 1916\, in the midst of the terrible carnage of the First World War\, a massive explosion ripped through the Explosives Works on the Uplees Marshes at Faversham. \nThis devastating event was not caused by enemy action or sabotage.

SUMMARY:Mark Watson: Before it overtakes us | St Mary’s Church
DESCRIPTION:Important Notice: Fire at the Alexander Centre\nOn New Year’s Eve\, a fire occurred at the rear of our Gatefield Hall\, The Alex’s main events space.

If you have any questions\, please get in contact via email at bookings@thealex.org.uk or by phone on 01795 591691. \nTo read more about the fire and its effects please click HERE \n\n20 years in stand-up for the ‘Taskmaster’ cheeky texts icon\, multi-award-winner\, YouTube cult figure\, Radio 4 favourite and recently ‘Baby Reindeer’ actor: Watson returns after seasons at the Adelaide\, Melbourne\, Sydney and Edinburgh comedy festivals. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. He explores this – along with equally pressing matters like the worst word he has ever said in public\, the current state of the UK sausage industry\, and much more – in a typically frantic and fun-packed new show. \n★★★★★ ‘A genius-level comic doing what he does best’ Time Out Melbourne\n★★★★★ ‘Quite unlike anything else I’ve seen in almost 20 years of covering the Fringe…witty\, warm\, perfectly judged’ Telegraph\n★★★★ ½ ‘An hour or two of our limited span on Earth in his uplifting\, witty company is time excellently spent’ Chortle\n★★★★ ‘One of the most genuinely joyous presences in comedy’ The Times\n★★★★ ‘This is a stand-up operating at the very top of his game’ Independent
