SUMMARY:A Very Kentish Murder II
DESCRIPTION:A Very Kentish Murder II: The Man in the Woods \n“I am terribly sorry – it is a diabolical thing.” \nBack by popular demand after his hit 2025 evening at The Alex\, join local historian Graham Birrell for another interactive evening of true crime and tragedy\, examining a long-forgotten murder investigation in Kent. Once again\, the audience becomes the jury for the night to analyse the same evidence presented at the original trial…but will you find the prime suspect guilty or not guilty? \nIt was a perfect summer’s day for a drive through the Kent countryside. Three women leave a country pub to return one of them to their now famous coastal home – but a picnic stop ends in utter disaster. The prime suspect had left a trail of mayhem around the world\, all centring on an obsession with one thing….guns. But was he bad\, or simply very\, very\, mad?

SUMMARY:Daniel Kitson – Work In Progress | Faversham Assembly Rooms
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Kitson is working on a new show. \nHe’s hoping\, once again\, to make something better than before: Hopefully funny\, maybe a bit sad\, intermittently thought provoking\, slightly audacious and\, ideally\, completely unfathomable. \nHe started properly thinking about it in the middle of January and it needs to be finished by August. So. That should give you a sense of how far through the process\, these particular shows are likely to be in terms of the lump of stone to finished sculpture ratio. \nOn the upside\, they’ve been priced accordingly and will last no more than 90 minutes. \nPlease note: All copy provided by Daniel Kitson.

SUMMARY:Becky Umbers & Eli Matthewson – Edinburgh warm ups
DESCRIPTION:Two multi-award-winning\, 5-star comedians from New Zealand warm up for the Edinburgh Festival. \nBecky Umbers – Tell That Horse To Keep His Mouth Shut\nIn a world overflowing with misinformation\, is the only way to get the truth to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth?\nBut what if that horse disagrees with me?\nWhat if that horse is lying?\nWhat if that horse… is part of the cover-up? \nWe all have that person in the family. The aunt who’s convinced the Earth is flat. The cousin who’s pretty sure the world is secretly run by lizards in human suits. In this show\, Becky dives headfirst into the weird\, wonderful world of conspiracy theories — including a few of her own. \nWhy do people believe these theories? Are they onto something? Are you a conspiracy theorist? Are you a lizard? (Blink twice if yes. Wait\, can lizards blink?) \nTell That Horse To Keep His Mouth Shut is a fun\, silly comedy show that aims to question\, understand— but mostly entertain— at a time when reality itself sounds made up. \nIf you’re hoping for definitive proof the moon landing was fake\, this is not the show for you.But if you’ve ever argued with someone whose theory makes no sense and thought\, “How did we get here?” — welcome. \nEli Matthewson: Youth Mobility \nEli Matthewson is the first ever New Zealander to move to London and he has done it right on time for the end of the world. Just as life was starting to feel safe and secure\, he has thrown it all away and scraped into the UK on the last possible week he could qualify for the youth mobility visa. A show about doing everything you can to make something of yourself before society completely crumbles. \n“Punchlines that whip back around like a tossed ponytail” – Theatreview\n“That most generous of comedy things: a personal show that feels inclusive\, offering a series of vignettes that invite introspection without ever getting preachy.” ★★★★  – The Recs\n“Smart\, silly\, and thoroughly entertaining.”  ★★★★ – EdFest Mag\n★★★★ – Three Weeks\n★★★★ Scotsman\n★★★★ Chortle\n★★★★ Voice Mag
