THE YOUNG TENNYSON

By the time Tennyson had married, In Memoriam had been published. So too had Ulysses, The Lady of Shallot, The Lotus Eaters, Mariana, The Princess, (all of which we hear from in the programme) and in the months after the wedding he was to become a national figure and Poet Laureate. He was still young in that he had half his life yet to live. But he was in his forties and had passed from considerable early success into the valley of the shadow before rising again. This see-saw ill-arranged life ( much of it in Lincolnshire) makes a fascinating counterpoint to so much tautly controlled verse, An hour of wonderful sound and fury, signifying greatly. Part of the 2009 International Bicentenary Conference of the Tennyson Society.

Nick Brooke Ltd and Kenny Wax Ltd present The Tiger Who Came To Tea Live on Stage!

Based on the picture book written and illustrated by Judith Kerr Adapted for the stage with songs and lyrics by David Wood

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big, stripy tiger!

Following on from last year's highly successful tour, the tea-guzzling tiger is back on the road in this delightful family show; packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos!

A stunning stage adaptation of this classic tale of teatime mayhem..,expect to be surprised!

Lincoln Comedy Festival Presents: Collins & Herring Podcast Live! + Stand Up

Richard Herring and Andrew Collins

Unscripted, unrehearsed, unabashed. Richard Herring and Andrew Collins with intellectual, puerile, needlessly offensive, improvised banter. It will be 1 hour, six minutes and 36 seconds of totally improvised nonsense, but in a theatre, rather than Rich's attic. If that wasn't enough there will also be a first half of solo sets from Andrew Collins (Mark Kermode's stunt double and bestselling author of "Where Did Everything Go Right?") and Richard Herring (star of Fist of Fun and award winning stand up comedian).

Don't miss out on the chance to see the rudest and most hilarious podcast in the country, recorded live on poor quality equipment in front of your astonished face. Downloadable from iTunes. 'The spirit of Derek and Clive' Guardian

Daniel Kitson

Everyone you have ever known will die.

And so will you.


And yet we dance in the looming shadows of mortality, we dance and we talk and we eat and we argue. We read books. We care for people. We buy houses. We plant trees and we start to drive and we learn how to make milk frothy. Because something, somewhere in the middle of it all has to matter. As our seconds and minutes and days slip by, something has to be important. And who are we to giggle and point and sneer at what others have found to care about? Who is to say what is beneath us, what is not worthy of our hearts?

Everybody needs something to hold when it gets dark, so who am I, who are any of us, to point at anything and call it facile or redundant or stupid or rubbish?


Even when it quite clearly is.

A new stand up show about finding something important in an ocean of twaddle.
