Building on the success of last year the 2018 Festival offers a three comedian line up for your enjoyment. The show will be compered by Andy Kind, opened by Fran Garrity and headlined by Tony Vino, with all three having considerable experience on the comedy circuit. Andy’s stand-up style can best be described as “the joyful rant of a post 30 chaos vacuum”, and he has been featured on BBC1, ITV and Channel 4, in the UK, as well as touring festivals here and in South Africa. Described by THE GUARDIAN as “absolutely hilarious”. Fran Garrity has an assured delivery of finely crafted materials: “Fran never fails to deliver, he is dependable with a sharp dry delivery. He came up with one of the best lines of the night which brought the house down” – NIBBLES WITH GIGGLES. Tony Vino has been touring the comedy scene since early 2005. Well aware of social and political issues he mixes friendly well thought out observational humour with audience interaction and quick witted responses: “uplifting style, great delivery and consistently funny throughout” – SAM WALKER, BBC MANCHESTER.
The theatre and film director, Sir Richard Eyre, will talk about working with actors and show clips from several of his films, including his most recent film of King Lear with Anthony Hopkins. He has been the recipient of numerous directing awards. Many will recall his stage musical, Guys and Dolls, and film, Notes on a Scandal, amongst others. He was Director of the UK’s National Theatre between 1988 and 1997.
2018 is the 200th anniversary year of Emily Bronte’s birth. LipService Touring Theatre takes a look at the lives of the Bronte sisters......well, two of them as Anne’s just popped out for a cup of sugar. Peopled with some of the greatest characters from the Bronte canon, and some, quite frankly that LipService have made up, Withering Looks is an irreverent and hilarious theatre event to savour. Winners of a Manchester Evening News Theatre award and Critics award for Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival.“It’s a joy – very, very funny” – THE GUARDIAN. 
Originally intended for toddlers and preschoolers, it quickly became apparent that even very young babies enjoy the sounds and activities at these informal sessions. We include a wide variety of songs, incorporating movements and rhythm. The use of props such as finger puppets, rhythm sticks, bunny ears, play parachutes and other items, increase the fun and encourage participation with songs both new and traditional. Mums/Dads/Carers are able to come and sit on the mats, or join in with all the musical activities, as they wish, or sit around the edge of the group and chat if they prefer.
