A Warning to the Curious: Two Ghost Stories by M R James

Thu 20 Feb • 7:30pm • Full £15 Concs £13 • Professional Theatre

Presented by Nunkie

“Sometimes you see him, and sometimes you don’t. It’s just as he pleases, I think: he’s there, but he has some power over your eyes…”

M R James wrote his ghost stories to perform to friends in Kings College Cambridge. Now, 120 years after their first publication, Nunkie have bought two of the eeriest and most entertaining back to life in this gripping, candlelit one-man show.

Lost Hearts offers one of James’s most memorable villains, the predatory scholar Mr Abney. It is paired here with perhaps his most poignant and personal work: A Warning to the Curious, in which a young archaeologist is haunted and hunted by the guardian of an ancient treasure.

The English seaside has never looked so menacing…

Russell Hicks: Happy To Be Here

Sat 22 Feb 2025 • 8pm • Full £16 • Comedy

Russell Hicks heads out on his first tour, but not his first rodeo. (Warning: This is a stand up show. NOT a rodeo.) Russell Hicks is here to stay and he really is happy to be here. So, why don’t British People believe him?

Hot off the back of a starring role in an Amazon Prime show that nobody watched, and was cancelled immediately, American Stand Up comedian Russell Hicks, lives in the UK where he allegedly performs stand-up comedy. Naturally, his parents still think he makes his money through some kind of illegal activity, so buy some tickets and help prove his legitimacy!

You may have heard Russell as the voice of Sky Comedy, seen him entertain studio audiences at ‘Have I Got News for You’ or caught him opening for the likes of Al Murray or ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winner Axel Blake. He’s performed up and down this country, picking up three Leicester Festival nominations along the way. He’s even been officially declared a Global Talent by Arts Council England.

Known for his improvised performances, Russell Hicks has amassed millions of views online, and gained a devoted following of fans who’ve come to know that no two shows will be the same. Considered one of the best improvisers in the country, Russell has appeared on some of the UK’s biggest networks. He has starred in several episodes of ITV’s ‘Stand Up Sketch Show,’ and won the Channel 4 competition series ‘Captive Audience’ with his

fully improvised comedy, and starred in Prime Video series ‘Lovestruck High’ narrated by Lindsay Lohan as the loveable Texan Coach Hughes.

16+ recommended.
