In 2019 if you want to be a ‘successful independent woman person’ you better have something to say and you better be wearing a Serious Black Jumper™. ‘Britain’s funniest woman comic’ (Daily Mail) has put the sequins in a box (for now), because it’s time to get serious. If pop stars, razors and even sausage rolls can attach themselves to important movements, why can’t Jayde Adams?

Join Lucy McCormick and her ‘friends with benefits’ for her work-in-progress version of Post-Popular, which is heading to Edinburgh Fringe this August. Following her genre-defying smash-hit, Triple Threat, Lucy McCormick is back to crawl through the annals of history in this enthusiastically humiliating exploration of power and purpose. Lucy will workshop her trademark concoction of dance, song, absurdist art and minor breakdowns, and she needs your help!
Family Friendly Workshops include mbira singing, learning to play the shakers and Zimbabwean dancing.
Anna Mudeka brings a vibrant workshop on the Kure Kure tour, learn Zimbabwean mbira music of the
ancestors, learn clapping mbira rhythms, songs, ululating and dance: all the things that bring the Bira
Shona celebrations to life! An uplifting, re-energising and soul fulfilling experience suitable for all ages and
abilities.
The multi-media one-woman theatre show KURE KURE/FARAWAY includes traditional and contemporary
music, projected visuals, soothing song, energetic dance and spoken word. An epic presentation of
migration, atavism, DNA and the ancestors’ origins through a story of the huge migration from Central Africa
(5000 years ago), the migration of the Bantu Tribe from the Tanganyika and Baka regions all the way to
Zimbabwe to build the biggest kingdom in Africa (1200 AD) and Anna’s own migration to the western
hemisphere some 800 years later
The multi-talented Anna Mudeka takes audiences on an exhilarating, inspiring and thought provoking
journey to ancient and modern-day Zimbabwe, and speaks of the challenges and opportunities of starting a
new life in a different country.

Hello, so if you’re watching this then I’m already dead.
To clarify, Jan should have been an architect but instead she has found herself in the centre of an open plan office at the handrail manufacturing company she works for, beating her colleague Sandra with a bonsai tree she won in a competition in April 2015.
Jan’s life didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to. It has just been one fundamental error after another. But before it ends she has some questions to answer.
How was she supposed to know dating the chief of police’s son would get her framed for pushing a herd of sheep off a cliff? Who knew she would accidentally disable her dog because she won a competition run by Ferrero Rocher? Why would you deliver a year’s supply of hazelnut chocolatey balls all at once? Who has that kind of space? Why is there such a craze for magnetic teeth?
Hurricane Force Jan is a surreal and darkly comic collaboration between playwright Serafina Cusack (Royal Court, Kings Head, SYC) and comedian Arianna Beadie (NYT Rep Company, SYC, Almeida Young Company.) and is being produced by Pigs In Residence (The Miller, The Albany, Star of Kings).
“Serafina Cusack is a highly distinctive writer” – Lyn Gardner
★★★★★“Whatever you do, look out for more from playwright Serafina Cusack, whose prose is itself, kind of like a drug.” – The Blogging Sheriff
★★★★“Cusack’s clever writing smacks the audience in the face.” – Within Her Words
“Serafina Cusack has delivered a strong piece of writing, from a perspective not easily achieved let alone tackled.”

Politics is boring. Politics is complicated. Politics is for adults.
Rubbish! Politics is actually super important and can be made really fun, if you know how. Luckily Tatton Spiller (Simple Politics) and Tiernan Douieb (Comedy Club 4 Kids, CBBC’s The Slammer) know exactly how and will show you over 60 minutes just how to make sense of it all.
You might not be able to vote yet. You do have opinions, though. You know the world you want to see. You know what’s right and what’s wrong. Also, you want to have a fun. Comedy Club 4 Kids specialise in making children laugh & Simple Politics specialise in making them understand how politics works in a clear, informative and fun way. So we’ve teamed up for a show that keeps you entertained, engaged and informed so you can also shout at the telly along with your parents during Question Time!
And Kate Cross, Director of the egg, Bath said:
‘Our audiences came to see something a bit different and to introduce their children to the funny side of politics, in this otherwise drab world, and hence left comments such as:
“Thank you for putting that on, it was amazing and should be toured to schools. Delightful.”
“Really funny, and also educational for the kids great, and inclusive.”‘
