Attention All Shipping: A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast
The Victoria Theatre
Wednesday 30 September, 7.30pm
As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.

How did a weather forecast for mariners capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?

Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what all those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.

Tickets from £22.50

Introduce your offspring to the wonderful world of stand up comedy with The Comedy Club 4 Kids at The Victoria Theatre - Saturday 18 July at 2pm.

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children and their families… but without the rude bits!

It's just like a normal comedy club, but it's on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like "why is that your face!?"

In 2025 Comedy Club 4 Kids were awarded the Victoria Wood Award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards as a recognition of the work they've done over the past 20 years!

Line-up includes Paul 'Silky' White MC, improvisers Anything Could Happen and stand-up Nick Doody.

‘A highlight for children... giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club.’ The Guardian
