Going Mad in Dorset!

This weekend brings the 'Newhart and Lehrer' show down on to the south coast with performances at The Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis on Saturday and The Regent Centre, Christchurch on Sunday.

Spring is on the way!

We start our busiest week of the year as the weather clearly demonstrates that Spring it is on its way. For those of you in Hertfordshire we have two 'Newhart and Lehrer' performances. On Friday you can catch 'An Evening with the humour of Bob Newhart and Tom Lehrer' at The Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead and then on Sunday you can see it at The Wyllyots Centre in Potters Barr.

Patsy Gamble at The Venue Jazz Club

Tour goes up to the Lake District

Our top selling show of 2009 'An Evening with the humour of Bob Newhart and Tom Lehrer' will be off to the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, Cumbria on Friday and by all accounts this sounds like it will be yet another sell out performance.

Don't forget that as tomorrow is the first Tuesday of the month we will be hosting our hugely successful 'Venue Jazz Club' at The Venue, Old Bath Road, Cheltenham when we welcome 'Dom Frank's Strayhorn'.
