Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups, sketch acts and cabaret stars to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits! The show is family-friendly but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on during the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher-than-usual chance of the entire audience claiming to be called Bob.
Twenty years later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, even producing a book on how to write and perform stand-up, and hosting our own Radio Nonsense podcast to bring the sillies to families all over the world.

Featuring punchy horn lines and a swinging rhythm section, this soulful band delivers infectious, expressive jazz, capturing the feel of the classic soul-jazz era.
The group has performed widely across London over the past two years, bringing their deep grooves and vibrant energy to stages across the capital.

David Benson burst onto the theatre scene in 1996, taking the Edinburgh Fringe, the touring circuit and ultimately the West End by storm with Think No Evil Of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams. Critics, audiences and close friends of Williams were unanimous in their praise.
Thirty years on, and in celebration of Kenneth Williams’ 100th Birthday, David Benson revisits his now legendary portrait of the much-missed Carry On star in this new version of the show, exploring the astonishing connection that intertwined his life with that of Williams when Benson was still a schoolboy.
In a dazzling display of impeccably honed stage craft, David Benson brings Kenneth Williams roaring back to life in a portrayal of which the late Dame Maggie Smith wrote in a letter to Benson: “’You put the heart across me’, as the Irish say, for I thought it WAS Kenneth!”
David Benson has most recently been seen touring nationwide with Jack Lane in their acclaimed Dad’s Army Radio Show.

João Gilberto, the great pioneer and father of Bossa Nova in Brazil in the late fifties, is the focus of this special concert performed by Mario Bakuna on guitar and vocals. Featuring reinterpretations alongside Bakuna’s own compositions, the performance invites the audience into the traditional world of samba, the subtle syncopation of João’s plucked-chord style, and the colours of contemporary jazz. With expressive vocals and his signature acoustic guitar, Bakuna brings these timeless pieces to life with warmth, swing, and a modern sensibility. It’s a heartfelt celebration of one of the greatest Brazilian musicians of all time!
