It is something unique, but it is also different things to different people. It is the cause and subject of many arguments and debates; and a fair amount of acclaim and affection. It is complicated and a little eccentric.

It is not a little theatre. It likes to make a big noise.

About Fanboy

Joe has always been a nerd.

In his teens, he hid it. In his twenties, he owned it. Now in his thirties, Joe is still obsessed with Star Wars, Nintendo and The Muppet Christmas Carol. But he’s started to sense something: a great disturbance in the fandom… Alone, sorting through his old things, Joe finds an old videotape in an old VCR, long forgotten. He presses play, and something amazing starts to happen…

Fanboy is a love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia. Award-winning writer-performer Joe Sellman-Leava (Fringe First, Labels) explores our relationship to our past and future selves, and asks why his generation is so obsessed with its childhood.

Combining epic storytelling, razor-sharp impressions and a dose of theatrical magic, Fanboy comes to the Mill after a critically acclaimed UK tour, including Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Soho Theatre.

By Joe Sellman-Leava. Directed by Yaz Al-Shaater.

About O2 Academy Oxford

The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.

About The American Classic Rock Show

From The Eagles to The Doors, Fleetwood Mac to Tom Petty, Janis Joplin to Joan Jett, Lynyrd Skynyrd to ZZ Top, Bruce Springsteen to Lou Reed, Bob Dylan to Neil Young and many points in-between.

Performing songs from the golden age of American classic rock – 1966 to 1980 – an era that encompassed the hippy movement and the Vietnam War, singer-songwriters and the beginnings of stadium rock acts, The American Classic Rock Show will take you back to a less complicated time, playing songs that defined an era and a generation.

The American Classic Rock Show

The American Classic Rock Show is more than a tribute band, it is a group of highly experienced professional musicians that have played this music for many years, in both original acts and tributes.

OUO & Daniel Hogan: An Evening of Orchestral Dances
2025-05-24 19:30 | Sheldonian Theatre, Broad Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 3AZ
OUO & Daniel Hogan: An Evening of Orchestral Dances

About OUO & Daniel Hogan: An Evening of Orchestral Dances

Programme:

Adams – The Chairman Dances

Ginastera – Dance Suite from Estancia

Rachmaninoff – Symphonic Dances

Young conductor Daniel Hogan joins OUO in an evening of orchestral dances, featuring as its main item Rachmaninoff’s electrifying final masterpiece, the Symphonic Dances.

Entirely written in the United States, this work evokes a ghostly nostalgia of the composer’s Russian homeland, saturated with ecclesiastical chants such as the Dies irae, and enigmatic retrospections on his earlier works – the First Symphony and All-Night Vigil.

John Adams’ captivating The Chairman Dances, an “outtake” from his first opera Nixon in China portraying Chairman and Madame Mao’s exuberant foxtrot, will open the concert, alongside the Dance Suite from Ginastera’s Estancia, a lively ballet – inspired by the epic Martin Fierro by José Hernández – saturated with spirited Argentinian rhythms.

About O2 Academy Oxford

The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.

The show explores themes of collaboration, play, dedication, spontaneity, and letting go. The show features no language and is accessible for deaf audiences.

About Little Women

Presented by Faraway Productions Ltd

By Louisa May Alcott

Adapted by Anne-Marie Casey

Starring Belinda Lang and Honeysuckle Weeks

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, inspired by her own experiences growing up, was an immediate critical and commercial success when published and went on to become one of the best-loved novels of all time.

Join the March sisters – tomboy Jo, beautiful Meg, sensitive Beth, and spoilt Amy, as they navigate the challenges of the American Civil War era, forging unbreakable bonds of love and family. Step into their world of sisterhood, courage, and ambition as they progress into womanhood.

Still relevant today, Little Women is a celebration of women proving that they can be heroes of their own story. Daring to be bold, persistent, self-assured, and standing strong in who they are and what they desire for their present and future.

Anne-Marie Casey’s masterful new adaptation of the story offers a captivating rendition that breathes new life into this cherished classic.

Little Women stars Belinda Lang (2point4 Children, Sister Boniface Mysteries), Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyles War, Calendar Girls the Musical), Jack Ashton (Call the Midwife, The Archers), and Grace Molony (Country Girls, The Great). With Cillian Lenaghan (The Woman in the Wall), Jade Kennedy (Rebus: A Game Called Malice); Catherine Chalk (Hilma), and Imogen Elliott (Grantchester).

“Stylish, humorous and compassionate, this is a lovingly crafted adaptation.”

About Are You Sure?

By F. C. Zeri

Have you ever stood in front of a big decision? Have you ever been incapable of making said decision, afraid to regret it? Have you ever asked yourself, Are you sure?

A mathematician with a generalised anxiety disorder finds themselves at a crossroads, followed, or perhaps haunted, by three mysterious figures. As time passes, childhood dreams fade, and family ties show their weight, they must face their doubts or risk remaining stuck.

About Sara Pascoe: I Am A Strange Gloop (Tour Preview)

Join Sara as she warms up ahead of her major new nationwide tour.

Have you ever been awake in the middle of the night and thought something so smart and astute that you couldn’t wait for the world to wake up so you could tell them?

This show is that thought.

In that it doesn’t make much sense and is a bit weird on reflection.

Sara Pascoe is a comedian, and her children don’t sleep, and her kitchen won’t clean itself, and her husband “doesn’t want to be in it”.

As seen and heard on Taskmaster, Live at the Apollo, The Great British Sewing Bee, Last One Laughing UK, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Mock the Week, and co-host of Sara & Cariad’s Weirdos Book Club podcast.

It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.

About Nick Mohammed is Mr. Swallow: Show Pony

After a sell-out 2023 UK tour and an extended run in London’s West End, Taskmaster loser Nick Mohammed returns as his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow with a brand new show.

Show Pony has been described by Mr. Swallow as “payback for everyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and will cover everything from not having his own sitcom to not having his own sitcom… and everything in between (critical race theory). As per – expect magic, music, and a whole load of brand-new mistakes.

Nick Mohammed is Mr. Swallow

Nick Mohammed is one of the UK’s most celebrated comedians, actors, and writers. Nick has received feverish critical acclaim for his previous Mr. Swallow shows Dracula, Houdini, and A Christmas Carol-ish… alongside his first UK tour The Very Best & Worst of Mr. Swallow.

Mr. Swallow has appeared in Dictionary Corner on numerous episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, with clips of his performances quickly going viral, along with entertaining the great and the good at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, with frankly terrifying results!

Nick plays Nate in Apple TV’s hit multi-award-winning series Ted Lasso, for which he was nominated twice for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the Emmy Awards. He has recently been seen starring in Sally Wainwright’s Renegade Nell (Disney+) and Steven Moffat’s Douglas Is Cancelled (ITV).

Nick created, wrote, and starred (alongside David Schwimmer) in his own Sky TV hit show Intelligence. Other appearances include Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), Inside No. 9 (BBC), This Time with Alan Partridge (BBC), and he’ll soon be seen starring alongside Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom in Prime Video’s Deep Cover. He was one of the worst contestants in the history of Channel 4’s Taskmaster.

Buff

About Buff

After a bad break-up from a six-year relationship, a plus-sized, gay, primary school teacher decides to sublet his flat to buff Instagram model Jamie. At the same time, he launches himself into dating again but finds the world of apps a much crueller place to people like him than he remembers.

As the humiliations he experiences online build, his feelings toward his new flatmate grow, until he is forced to face up to his own prejudices, toxicity, and failures to the people who matter most.

Funny yet poignant, this solo-performed play tackles body image pressures, social media jealousy, and one gay man’s journey to self-acceptance head-on, whilst navigating the toxic universal world of online dating.

Buff is written by new up-and-coming playwright Ben Fensome, presented by Emmerson and Ward Productions, and directed by The Stage Debut Award shortlisted Scott Le Crass (Rose, West End; Toxic, Home, Manchester)
