SUMMARY:Ross Noble - Jibber Jabber Jamboree
DESCRIPTION:Ross Noble – Jibber Jabber Jamboree at New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ross Noble – Jibber Jabber Jamboree\n\n\n\nFollowing his enormously successful previous tour of Humournoid\, the much-loved British comic will be bringing his inimitable train-of-thought comedy and randomist wit back to UK stages from 25 October 2023 to 17 March 2024\, stopping off for a night at New Theatre Oxford on 02 November 2023. \n\n\n\nJibber Jabber Jamboree marks Ross Noble’s 21st solo stand-up tour. To celebrate this milestone\, Ross invites audiences to join him for an evening of the sort of inspired nonsense that has cemented his place as the supreme master of stream-of-conscious freewheeling stand-up. This is a chance to see Noble live on stage in his natural habitat. \n\n\n\nEarning mainstream popularity through his appearances on shows like Have I Got News For You\, Ross Noble’s own stand-up specials have also earned him critical acclaim. The biggest-selling act at the Edinburgh and Melbourne comedy festivals\, his stand-up routines are mostly improvised and often incorporate audience participation. \n\n\n\nOutside of the comedy circuit\, Noble has made his film debut in the comedy horror film Stitches. He’s also taken to the musical theatre stage in his debut role in The Producers and in Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein musical on the West End – a role that earned him an Olivier Award nomination. \n\n\n\nOn what audiences can expect from his new tour\, Ross Noble says: “It will be a playful experience for young and old. Imagine watching someone create a magic carpet on an enchanted loom. Oh\, hang on… magic carpets fly\, that would smash the loom as it took flight. I haven’t thought that through… That’s what people can expect. Razor-sharp observations on things I haven’t thought through.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important ticketing information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrices:From £34.07Tickets are subject to a transaction fee. \n\n\n\nAge guidance:15+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

SUMMARY:Into Battle: The Art of British War Comics
DESCRIPTION:Into Battle: The Art of British War Comics. Images: (Left) Bulldog Breed (1965) – ‘Battle Drill’ original artwork by Jordi Penalva. (Right) ‘Pegasus Bridge’ from Battle Picture Weekly No 2 (1975)\, uncredited artist and writer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Into Battle: The Art of British War Comics\n\n\n\nThe county’s military history museum is collaborating with Oxford-based Rebellion Publishing on the new exhibition that will offer visitors a chance to explore the history of British war comics through the archives of classic comic titles such as War Picture Library and Battle Action. \n\n\n\nHugely popular today\, Britain has been publishing comics continuously for over 130 years. During that time\, conflict has remained a staple of comic book storytelling\, and by the 1960s and 1970s\, war stories were the most popular genre. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition\, featuring original comic artwork on public display for the first time\, tells the story of war comics decade by decade – From satirical comic strips and patriotic illustrated story papers of 19th Century and early 20th Century to the revolutionary comics of the 1970s\, which presented much more gritty\, authentic and emotionally-charged stories. \n\n\n\nLong-time readers of comics will be given a nostalgic look back at some of their favourites\, while younger and more recent fans will gain an insight into how their favourite medium has developed over the years. \n\n\n\nDrawing on Rebellion’s extensive archives\, the exhibition features artwork from the very best of British comics – taking in spectacular covers and action-packed panels from the War Picture Library\, Battle Picture Weekly and Battle Action. \n\n\n\nBattle Action\, which Rebellion have recently revived with the work of renowned comic writers and artists such as Garth Ennis (Preacher\, The Boys)\, Keith Burns (Commando Comics\, Johnny Red) and Dab Abnett (Warhammer 40k\, Marvel Comics)\, features heavily throughout. \n\n\n\nImage (cropped): Gun Duel cover (Battle Picture Library\, 1967) by Graham Cotton (Copyright Rebellion Publishing)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe comic\, which was known as Battle Picture Weekly before merging with Action comics in 1977\, notably featured the series Charley’s War by Pat Mills and Jo Colquhoun – regarded as one of the greatest war comics of all time. \n\n\n\nFollowing its working-class hero from underage recruit in 1914 through almost every major event of the war\, the strip sees Charley lose friends in battle\, portraying the human cost of war through the eyes of an ordinary soldier. \n\n\n\nThe incredible artwork on display will includes original 1983 Charley’s War panels by Mill and Colquhoun\, alongside full colour original artwork from Jordi Penalva (Bulldog Breed\, 1965)\, Giorgio de Gaspari (Spy 13\, 1959) and Graham Cotton (Gun Duel\, 1967). \n\n\n\nAlongside much to capture the interest and imagination of adults\, the exhibition will offer younger visitors the chance to discover how comics are made and have a go at creating comics themselves.

It juxtaposes the work of two London-based painters\, Flora Yukhnovich and Daniel Crews-Chubb. \n\n\n\nDespite stylistic differences\, the work of both artists links art historical inspirations with a dynamic and contemporary painterly language. The paintings displayed\, all made specifically for this exhibition\, convey a timeless passion for the medium of painting\, its materials and processes. \n\n\n\nFor this series of three exhibitions in Gallery 8\, each artist will explore different areas of the museum’s broad collections. Ashmolean NOW will feature their four very different points of view. The summer exhibition will be followed by Pio Abad in February 2024 and Bettina von Zwehl in October 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nVenue:Gallery 8 on the Lower Ground Floor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlora Yukhnovich\n\n\n\n\n\nFlora Yukhnovich (b. 1990) found herself drawn to the palettes and compositions of the museum’s Dutch and Flemish still life paintings.  \n\n\n\nHer large-sized paintings feature intense red\, pink\, peach and green colours and an abstracted painterly language. Circular forms and soft contours suggest organic growth\, while glowing light and dark contrasts create an illusion of three-dimensional depth. \n\n\n\nYukhnovich’s work playfully and critically explores different notions of femininity in the history of art and popular culture\, looking at contrasting stereotypes like ‘virtuous’ and ‘monstrous’ women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984) presents a group of large-scale paintings that take inspiration from ancient sculptures of deities and non-human figures found in the Ashmolean. \n\n\n\nThese ‘immortals’\, as Crews-Chubb calls his fantastical figures\, are created through a laborious process of addition and revision\, including drawing\, impasto\, and collage. \n\n\n\nThe textured patchwork of his canvasses gives Crews-Chubb’s monumental subjects a three-dimensional presence that\, as he describes\, ‘corrodes the boundary between painting and sculpture’.
