HOW TO WIN A PUB QUIZ

Join quick-witted comedian and quizmaster Alex Love as he educates and adjudicates, splitting the audience into teams to compete against each other for prizes in this highly interactive and often chaotic hour show.
Jacobs & Jones with Breadcrumbs
16 -18 October
A sketch show which embraces the daft and the dry in a world of corporate bullshit.
George Jacobs and Will Jones are in the back room. The scissor lift has sunk. The cellophane machine has eaten the forklift. And now there’s grease in their socks… It can only mean one thing. Sketches!
In a world of tinned laughter and processed jokes, where art is unceremoniously plopped into cans and wrapped in microplastics, Jacobs and Jones will fight against the system, breaking free from the shackles of involuntary sponsorship and poor product placement.
Experience the extraterrestrial magic of the ever-curious Gleebleebleebs.
Beware the man at the bus stop before he does something awful, like start talking.
Enjoy a luxury 8-course menu comprised of unfortunate spelling errors.
And much, much more!
Jacobs and Jones have been working together since 2021. From their debut sketch show, Fishing in Puddles, they have found joy in both dry cynicism and daft silliness, with a particular fondness for exploring the inner machinations of the human mind, a.k.a gaslighting their friend Joe until he gets a bit pissy. Don’t steal any of our jokes or we’ll tell on you. (No really. Don’t).
