Featuring Joanna Eden (vocals) and the Chris Ingham Quartet 

A fixture of the Ronnie Scotts programme for over a decade, and a festive hit at the Jubilee Hall last year, this is the perfect way to swing into the holiday season.  It’s an ever-changing set-list packed full of festive favourites made famous by jazz greats and Hollywood stars such as Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day and Bing Crosby.  Star vocalist Joanna Eden and the sophisticated swing of the Chris Ingham quartet is a Christmas combination to savour in a show that celebrates the best of jazz on the silver screen. 

“One of the finest combos in the country and a seriously talented vocalist..a great evening that satisfied both jazz and movie buffs. Quite a trick.” Jazz Journal

Renowned amateur sleuth and part-time dog trainer Miss Jean Mimple is on a hiking tour of the Italian alps, sightseeing and collecting the odd alpine to take back to her garden in St Mary Mirkin. In a remote hostelry, she meets Dr Bridges, assistant to the mysterious Professor Ramekin, who lives in nearby Castle Pandoro.

The body of one of the servants at the Castle has been found torn into fettuccine, and  Dr Bridges invites Miss Mimple to help with the investigation. The locals at the inn warn her of The Ice Wolf, or “Bestia Gelato” – half man, half wolf, half frozen dessert – which has terrorised the region for several months. Undeterred, the plucky Miss Mimple sets off to investigate. 

Could the terrifying Ice Wolf be linked to Professor Ramekin’s experiments? (Spoiler: Of course it is!)  Will Miss Mimple ever return to sleepy St Mary Mirkin, and will the odd alpine be happy there or will he miss his Italian roots. 

A festive comedy with songs. 

The performance lasts for approx two hours including an interval.

David Eagle is a comedian and musician. Adored as a member of three-time BBC Radio 2 folk award-winning band The Young ‘Uns, David has branched out into stand-up comedy.   

It’s a natural progression; David’s darkly comic introductions and spontaneous interaction with his bandmates and the audience at folk gigs have become legendary.  Here he riffs on his disability (he is blind) and how it turns commonplace events into surreal and convoluted dramas.  He is a brilliantly gifted and hilarious storyteller, with sharply-drawn observations that joyously embrace the absurd and the unpredictable.  Occasionally he dons his accordion (often as a spiteful repost to hecklers) and performs comedy songs, his George Formby parody was described by the Guardian as “a comic tour de force.” 

He was crowned New Comedian Of The Year at Nottingham Comedy Festival, Bath Comedy Festival and Leicester Square Theatre and recently featured on BBC Radio 4/s flagship comedy The Now Show. 

David Eagle is a genuine stand-up rookie phenomenon! Looking forward to hearing more.” Reginald D Hunter 

“Just seen the future of stand up comedy and his name is David Eagle” Boothby Graffoe

A broadcasting legend in his own words. Adored as the unmistakable voice of English cricket for nearly half a century, ‘Blowers’ brings his wit and wisdom to the stage.  It’s not all about cricket – “if you think you’re going to learn the forward defensive, you’ll be sadly disappointed” he quips.  This is the story of a long and colourful life well lived, told in his own inimitable style. As bubbly and irrepressible onstage as he was behind the mic, there are enough irreverent anecdotes and meandering digressions to fill many a Test Match Special rain break.  A special evening to banish the midwinter off-season blues in the company of an authoritative broadcaster and one of the great raconteurs.  

The evening lasts approximately two hours including an interval.

Media executive turned stand-up comedian, Cally Beaton is now a favourite on BBC Two’s QI, and regular contributor to The Apprentice: You’re Fired, as well as Radio 4’s The Now Show, The Unbelievable Truth and Saturday Live. She’s an eloquent natural story-teller – a rollercoaster ride of anecdotes, observations and stuff even your best mate wouldn’t admit to –  majoring on the life, loves and trials of a 50-something woman.  And it’s quite a life.  She didn’t take to the stage until her mid-40s, inspired by a chance encounter with the late, great Joan Rivers, having been a high-flying media executive including a stint as Senior Vice-President at the US Studio giant CBSViacom (if you want someone to blame for bringing South Park and SpongeBobSquarePants into the world then look no further…). 

She’s also a writer and podcaster (creating Namaste, Motherf***ers, an unlikely but hilarious collision of self-help, business and comedy) and her regular TikTok on-location mini-confessionals are a delight.  And who wouldn’t love a character who named her 2017 debut Edinburgh show Super Cally Fragile Lipstick… 

Packing a support act, Louis Green as compere and sets from rising stars into the evening, the first Aldeburgh Comedy Club of the year is full of the joys of Spring. 

“A comedy queen – fiery, intelligent and totally original” Sara Pascoe, Comedian & Actor

Based in the shadow of Hadrian’s Wall yet reaching out to the wider world, Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening explore the connecting threads of music, landscape and people over a period of almost 2000 years. Songs range from themes of freedom, nature and venturing out into the world after times of darkness, to a Roman inscription with links to Libya and Syria magnetically pulled into the 21st century with glorious vocal harmonies and the wildest of piping. 

Kathryn Tickell is the foremost exponent of the Northumbrian pipes; a composer, performer, educator and successful recording artist “No one has evoked the landscape and traditions of Northumbria more affectingly than Kathryn Tickell” wrote The Observer…”she is steeped in the songs and mythology of the north-east.”  

Named after the old Northumbrian word for twilight, The Darkening is made up of four North-East England-based members: Kathryn (Northumbrian smallpipes, fiddle, vocals), Amy Thatcher (accordion, synth, clogs, vocals), Kieran Szifris (octave mandolin), Joe Truswell (drums, percussion);  with Josie Duncan from the Isle of Lewis (vocals, clarsach).

If there is one musician who embodies the dynamism and vitality of the English folk scene, it’s Eliza Carthy MBE.  Beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza’s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. Whether solo or fronting a big band, performing a centuries-old ballad or a self-written song, have influenced a whole generation of young musicians. 

The daughter of folk legends Martin Carthy & Norma Waterson, Eliza was championed from an early age by John Peel, Andy Kershaw and Billy Bragg. Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize, and winner of innumerable other accolades over her thirty-year career, Eliza has performed and recorded around the world with a diverse array of artists including, Paul Weller, Rufus & Martha Wainwright, Patrick Wolf, and Jarvis Cocker. 

Tonight she goes solo, showcasing her powerful, nuanced voice, fiercely beautiful fiddle-playing and effervescent on-stage presence.  Describing herself simply as a modern English musician, she is one of the most impressive, engaging, and important performers of her generation. 

‘Unarguably the queen of English Folk’

‘Not the Messiah, but a very naughty girl’
