Ray Bradshaw: Coda

Ray Bradshaw: Coda

About Ray Bradshaw: Coda

1 in 6 adults in the UK will lose their hearing in their lifetime; two of those are Ray Bradshaw’s parents. The multi-award-winning comedian is back on tour with a brand-new show all about growing up as a CODA: a Child of Deaf Adults. His upbringing was nothing like the Oscar-winning film and he’s here to tell you why.

CODA is a funny, heartwarming show all about the brilliant things that happen when you grow up in a house where sign language is the first language used; whether it’s watching his dad shut his eyes to win any argument or beating his in-laws easily when they suggested playing charades against a deaf family on Christmas Day.

Ray’s previous shows, Deaf Com One and Doppelginger, were huge successes and sold-out theatres across the world. As this show is all about growing up with deaf parents, every show of CODA will have a BSL interpreter. Ray has previously supported John Bishop on his UK arena tour after John described him as ‘one of the best comedians in the country’.

“One of the best comedians in the country.”

Suzi Quatro

About Suzi Quatro

Following her last UK outing in November 2024 rock icon Suzi Quatro will make a triumphant return to UK stages in 2026 with a 10-date tour across some of the country’s most prestigious venues, celebrating an incredible 62 years in the music industry.

Promising a hit-packed, high-octane celebration of one of rock and roll’s most enduring careers. Fans can expect all their favourite hits: ‘Can The Can’, ‘48 Crash’, ‘If You Can’t Give Me Love’, ‘Stumblin’ In’, ‘The Wild One’, ‘Devil Gate Drive’, ‘She’s In Love With You’ – and many more.

Suzi Quatro

Suzi Quatro said: “It’s my 62nd year in the business, and it still feels like I’ve just started. ‘Devil Gate Drive’, Number 1, 52 years ago. Are you ready now? Let’s do it one more time for Suzi.”

Born in Michigan and discovered by legendary producer Mickie Most, Suzi Quatro catapulted to international fame in 1973 with ‘Can The Can’ – a Chinn and Chapman penned anthem that sold over two and a half million copies. She went on to sell more than 55 million records, spending over 100 weeks in the UK charts between 1973 and 1980. Over the decades, Suzi has continually reinvented herself, not only as a trailblazing rock musician but also as an accomplished actor, author, and broadcaster.

Today, Suzi’s creative drive and explosive live shows show no signs of slowing. The raw energy and power of her live performances remain undiminished, and as Suzi herself famously declares, “I will retire when I go on stage, shake my ass, and there is silence.” One thing is certain – this celebratory tour will be anything but silent.

NEIL BRAND’s Centenary Laurel & Hardy Show

NEIL BRAND’s Centenary Laurel & Hardy Show

About NEIL BRAND’s Centenary Laurel & Hardy Show

Following the success of his 2023/24 tour, Neil Brand invites you to celebrate the centenary of Laurel and Hardy with a brand-new show.

In 1926, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy signed separate contracts with Hollywood film mogul Hal Roach and appeared for the first time in a film together, 45 Minutes from Hollywood. The following year, they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter.

Nobody could have anticipated at the time how this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world.

NEIL BRAND’s Centenary Laurel & Hardy Show

The organisers are pleased to announce and celebrate those 100 years with the brand new production of Neil Brand’s Evening with Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour. Neil has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment.

Thanks to new restorations of their silent films, and the rediscovery of some of their lesser-known comedies, Neil will uncover gems of hilarity from the team whose comedy never ages, and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous. Featuring extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies, particularly You’re Darn Tootin’, The Finishing Touch and The Second Hundred Years.

Neil’s concerts have proved really popular with his personal contact with the audience & his unique insight into Laurel & Hardy and the birth of the cinema industry. His engaging, easy-going style, along with his Q&A at the end of the show answering all the questions from the audience, followed by his after-show ‘Meet and Greet’, makes for a highly entertaining evening.

Currently working on a television documentary and a new book about The Boys, Neil is once again looking forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with audiences around the country, and celebrating the life and times of comedy legends, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy.

Glorious!

About Glorious!

Thomas Hopkins, Craig Haffner & Sherry Wright present the Hope Mill Theatre production

Written by Peter Quilter

Directed by Kirk Jameson

Starring Wendi Peters and Matthew James Morrison

Florence Foster Jenkins is about to blow your mind…and possibly your eardrums.

Glorious! follows Florence’s journey as she prepares for her concerts, builds an unlikely friendship with her accompanist, Cosme, and defies her critics to follow her dreams.

Dubbed ‘the worst singer in the world’, Glorious! is the true story of American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, who was known for her flamboyant costumes, enigmatic performances, and decidedly off-key voice.

Starring Wendi Peters (Coronation Street) as Florence Foster Jenkins and Matthew James Morrison (EastEnders), as Cosme McMoon, in this 20th anniversary production, this hilarious show played to rave reviews at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre and is the feel-good comedy we’ve been waiting for.

Glorious! wowed audiences in its original Olivier-nominated West End long-running production starring Maureen Lipman in 2005, before coming to the silver screen, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in the film version of the play that critics simply called ‘Glorious!’ The show has since been seen by millions of people around the world, translated into 25 languages, and performed in 36 countries.

Glorious! is written by Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow and the Oscar-winning film, Judy) and directed by Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away, Madagascar: The Musical).
