MY MATE DAVE 20 - 21 Nov 7pm
Everyone loves a 'Dave' right? Rightly so! We're the best! Good listeners, loyal, affectionate, house trained ... for the most part. Everyone needs a 'Dave' in their life and if you don't have one I highly suggest you get one. Maybe I could be that Dave?
I should say that if you've already got a 'Dave' in your life, maybe I'm not for you. There can never be two Dave's ... ask your Dave. He'll know what I'm talking about.
Mind you a few people have lost this 'Dave' along the way. Or did I lose them.In this new show David Ellis takes a good look at himself and the company he keeps. Friends have always been one of the most important things in his life but as you get older and circumstances change ... maybe some friendships just aren't made to last.
David is a Jewish actor, comedian and award-winning writer originally from Bedford. He's played to sold out crowds in London, Edinburgh, Off-Broadway, Toronto and across Australia. He's performed with long running comedy shows NewsRevue, Shit-faced Shakespeare, Potted Potter and The Reduced Shakespeare Company. As a comedian he was a semi-finalist of the Max Turner Prize and is a graduate of the Royal Court Writer's Programme.
At the Edinburgh Fringe 2023 and '24 David played to full houses and his show 'The Worst Jew' received fantastic reviews.
"Delivered in an erratic outpouring of amusing anecdotes, Ellis proceeds to weave a personal history ... It’s quick, it’s funny and whatever you consider Ellis’s Jewish credentials to be, The Worst Jew is certainly worth an hour of your time" Jewish Renaissance ★★★★

Courtney’s +1 – because comedy is better with company (and because Courtney cannot stand to be alone with her thoughts).
Award-winning comedian Courtney (as seen on BBC, 60M+ views online, 5-star sold-out EdFringe stand up show, Best of Comedy winner @ Fuse Festival) is back with a brand-new show. But this time, she’s not coming alone.
Each show, Courtney and an incredibly talented comedy star will bring their freshest, funniest material! Some of the material will have never been seen before and depending on your reactions…might never be seen again.
A night of bold risks, brilliant stand-up and some of the most talented comedians around. Come for the chaos and be a part of the creation of both comedian’s newest shows.
25 - 29 November'
Tanked' explores the love and fear within a relationship, with an anthropomorphic approach and clowning style. Playing off of the concept of looking at a relationship through a fishbowl. All of which is captured through a documentarian lense in the form of a live feed camera!
'Tanked' is fresh off the back of a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, with co-performers Isaac Morris and Maddie Maycock having initially created the piece in 2024.
THE BOLINE INN 2nd - 13th December 7PM
Welcome to the Boline Inn, where you can escape from the modern world of cassette tapes, shoulder pads and perms. Within its walls, a warm welcome, and the whispers of the women who came before you.
This winter, join Jane on the search to find her missing uncle - a search that leads her to The Boline Inn where she is welcomed by the weird and wonderful women who keep the place running. However, beneath her calm demeanour, Jane has a disquiet within her. Will her stay at the Inn turn the heat down, or bring her to boiling point?
Meadow Report is an all-female theatre company founded in Liverpool, making their London debut with The Boline Inn
