“I could have listened for hours” ***** (The Independent)
“One of the loveliest things you’ll see all year” (The Herald)
BBC Slam Champion, Jess Green joined the Labour Party at university in 2007, since then she’s stuck by them through the downfall of Tony Blair, the disappointment of Gordon Brown and the monolith of Ed Miliband. And now after a decade of keeping her membership card firmly at the back of her wallet she’s fallen head over heels in love with Jeremy Corbyn and his raw socialist magnetism but if only everyone else agreed.
Following the success of her first show, Burning Books, Jess returns with a rousing, lyrical and humorous look at modern politics.
The show has had a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year, with even the Jeremy Corbyn himself describing it as ‘Fantastic’, and can be performed either solo or with Jess’ band ‘The Mischief Thieves’ consisting of guitar, trumpet, drums and melodica.
Here are a couple of quotes about Jess’ work;
‘An internet Sensation’ – The Independent
‘Green has struck a chord’ – The Guardian
“A writer who is tackling such an important subject, with assurance, intelligence and brio. The writing is intelligent, ambitious, poetic and feels incredibly political, without being didactic.” – Nikolai Foster, Artistic Director, Curve Theatre
‘The poetry is whip-smart, insightful and riotously entertaining…a genuine piece of political theatre’ – Neil Reading, Producer at Arena Theatre

Chris Moreton – guitar
Dick Embury – upright bass
Hilary Gowan -banjo
Jeremy Cozens – mandolin

A queer fairy-tale.
A one-person musical.
A personal story of showbiz, booze and leggings.
Award-winning performer and TV talent show judge, Paul L Martin sets loose his alter-ego on an unsuspecting public in a waspish, highly theatrical and emotionally charged blend of cabaret and theatre from a master storyteller. A unique and intimate portrait from a ‘British Cabaret Icon’ and his superb three-piece band.
Charlie Hannah is co-frontman of psych-pop band Itchy Teeth and one half of the surreal duo Starfish Men.
This is the launch night for his third solo album, ’Standing on the Verge of Getting a Cold’, released on Margate-based label ‘M8’s Records’.
As a ‘singer’-songwriter, he is noted for his impressive one and a half octave vocal range, and the micro-genre he coined, called ‘Domestica’. He describes it as ‘music made at home about subjects such as hobbies, housework and the human condition’.
The new album is a sprawling mass of different musical styles, with lyrical subject matters such as being ill, washing up, television, book keeping, love, life and the human psyche.
His live band comprises some local Kent musical legends: Flo and Nou a.k.a. The Selkies, Luke Menniss from Lapis Lazuli, Chris Brown from Lazy Pilgrims, and Oli Booker from Itchy Teeth.
Album artwork is by Jordan Gray :-)

Little Red Riding Hood is 66 years old and looking for love.In this fantastical one-woman show, poet/performer Gus Watcham turns the fairy tale upside down and shakes out all the bits to create a disturbed and darkly humorous psychodrama for our times.
Gus Watcham was a RADA student in 1969. She spent twenty years on the London Fringe and touring the UK in a van. She has a degree in painting and ceramics from Camberwell and a fine art MA from Brighton. She has worked here and there in many capacities, as artist, support worker, bartender, civil servant and the front end of a pantomime horse.
