SUNDAY 28TH JULY

The Zap Show

Following last year’s successful Fringe show the Zap team bring you The Zap Show – a variety show in the best tradition of Saturday evening TV light entertainment. With sketches, stand-up, slapstick and a host of special guest stars…

Friendliness

Henry is a gifted young musician/lyricist. Performing mostly his own songs, mostly on guitar, he persuades you to traverse your emotions, visiting surprise, love, fear, anger and joy, with maybe a little detour via shame and envy. As the show ends, you’re left feeling shamelessly but enviably invigorated.

£8 Tickets available now.

Doors at 4.30pm, show starts 5pm.
