CRYING INTO BINS
Sunday 6th September 7:30 pm

Tonight's the night!!

20 years in hospitality – a cathartically funny poetical memoir

From the food waste bin into which her friend had a nervous breakdown, Lia tries to make sense of the twenty years she spent serving food and drink. Crying into Bins chronicles tales collected over two decades and takes shape as a long-form spoken word poem. But expect a little more than one woman and a microphone. This is a fast-paced and funny poetical exploration of mental health, societal structures, terrible rage and bittersweet acceptance.

Hudson & Hudson: Married at First Sleight
Saturday 3rd October 8:00 pm

The couple that tricks together, sticks together! Hudson & Hudson are on tour with their amazing magic. They said marriage was magical — these two took it literally.

Married at First Sleight is the hilarious, feel-good magic show from a real-life couple who mix marriage, magic and mind-reading. Think tricks, twists, and the occasional tiff as this dynamic duo saw through illusions (and maybe each other) in a night of jaw-dropping magic and side-splitting comedy.
