Top class theatre and comedy at Diss Corn Hall this week

This Thursday 23rd the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds present The Two of Us, four comic masterpieces by Michael Frayn, writer of the award-winning farce, Noises Off.

‘It’s more than just an evening of great fun – it’s also an evening of very good theatre’. – What’s on Stage.

Originally produced in the West End starring Richard Briers and Lynn Redgrave, these perfect short plays are a dazzling display of comic timing for just two, very versatile actors. Funny and touching, The Two of Us takes a look at the complexities of love and marriage in the modern world.

This rural touring production has been receiving excellent reviews.

Tickets: £10.50 / Concessions £9

And, Friday 24th is the last Friday in the month so the outrageous Red Card Comedy Club are back and the line-up this month is magic, literally!

MC’ing will be Lee Canterbury – Like a ball of energy bouncing around the stage, Lee’s ability to whip up an audience has been admired from Aberdeen to Exeter. ‘The result of a genetic experiment between Eric Morecombe and Speedy Gonzales’ – Time Out.

Ali Cook’s irreverent persona and respected sleight of hand have made him one of the pioneers of the alternative magic scene. His anarchic illusions and stand up have attracted diverse audiences including The Harry Potter Premiere Parties and private events for Damien Hirst. His 2008 Edinburgh debut sold out with four star reviews and moved to the West End, again to sell-out audiences.

**** ‘A pleasing mixture of cheesy and sinister’ – The List.

With fresh material and lightning-quick audience interaction, Paddy Lennox has a warm Irish charm and a twinkle in his eye that can make the twists and turns in his jokes come as a shock. A regular at all the big comedy clubs, Lennox has a couple of Edinburgh Festival shows under his belt and a great future ahead of him.

**** ‘comedy the way it should be: a laugh-a-minute which leaves the audience wishing the show was just a little bit longer .’ – Fest.

**** ‘Excellent stand-up… Vastly entertaining.’ – Three Weeks.

The bar and delicious homemade hot food and cakes (to die for) will be available from 7.30pm.
Tickets: Advance £8.00 / Door £9.50
