Six absurd stories - nested together like Russian dolls of an extremely good little boy, a rather hungry servant, a sinister aristocrat, five million dollars in stolen treasure, a planet with no chairs and a completely reliable filing system. Sardine Circus welcomes you to a world of daydreams, sometimes kindly, sometimes cruel, always strange, very amusing and completely ridiculous. |

The start of ‘le weekend’ as the French would say, begins with a class of students at a country hotel learning the art of painting. But the dialects of the budding ‘Monets’ are as colourful as the paint they use. All goes well, or does it? Life is not what it seems in this comedy with a mystery? |

The show that unleashed satire on Sixties Britain with a great stinging slap of sketches that appalled the Establishment and delighted? well, everyone else, really. Beyond the Fringe represents the birth of modern comedy and contains some of the wittiest writing of the last fifty years. Fast, furious and phenomenally funny. |

Unaccompanied singer Sheila Stewart comes from an ancient family who have handed their music down through the generations. Such singing has been the bedrock of travellers? culture for centuries. Songs are embellished, generation after generation, while the subject matter remains universal: life, love, sex, work, war, struggle and camaraderie. |

Perrier nominee and Chortle award winner Alex Horne takes on one of light entertainment's last taboos - Latin - and wins! With his hapless but loyal assistant, Tim Key - writer and star of Radio 4's 'Good Night Luke Walsall' - he comes to Aquae Sulis after sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and London's West End. Innovative, imaginative and hysterically funny. |
