After his 2023/24 sell-out smash tour Gobsmacked, this marvellous Manc is back with his best show yet. A TV favourite, and now an aspiring doctor’s wife, Josh Jones is now knee deep into his 30's and nothing thrills him more than a Greggs Sausage Roll and an M&S food shop. Living a more sedate life isn’t without its challenges though - he’s still trying to earn his cat’s respect! Josh is hitting the road with a show packed full of laughs and he's keeping it light - nothing super political, nothing controversial and it’s definitely not going to change your life, but you can be sure of a fab night out filled to the brim with jokes about history, cats, his love of wrestling and much more. Please come, he'd really like to buy a new sofa. Book through the Octagon website or box office.

The year is 1974 and a homeless Miss Mary Shepherd moves her broken down van into Alan Bennett's garden in north London on his invitation. What was intended to be a temporary arrangement ends up lasting 15 years and Bennett, a somewhat reluctant landlord, begins to piece together the fascinating aspects of her life. A deeply religious woman, eccentric and stubborn in equal measure, she has, it seems, quite a tale to tell. Alan Bennett’s uniquely observant story-telling style gives an account of those years and was later adapted for a 2015 film of the same name. Book through Ticket Source.

Back when we kicked things off in 2023, I never imagined we’d be heading out on a fourth national tour in 2026! It’s all thanks to the brilliant puppeteers, the magical puppets and the amazing families who keep coming back. I know taking kids to the theatre can be a bit daunting – but this show is made with young families in mind.

Hopes, hurdles and halfpipes. Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi-wearing step-sisters in all of Bradford – and nothing is going to stop them from winning the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition. With their eyes on the prize and their boards under their feet, they are unstoppable. That is, until they overhear whispers in the kitchen… their parents might be splitting up. Suddenly, everything is at risk – their friendship, their family, and their dream. Only the greatest super-plan ever concocted can keep them together and on track for victory. Sisters 360 is a funny, heartfelt and high-energy new play written by Asif Khan, inspired by the real-life “Hijabi Sisters” from Hull – three skateboard-loving siblings who have challenged stereotypes and inspired countless others, following in the footsteps of their hero, Olympic medallist Sky Brown. With skateboarding tricks, sibling banter and a whole lot of heart, this uplifting story explores the power of family, friendship and resilience in the face of change. At its core, Sisters 360 is about courage, creativity and the determination to hold on to what matters most. It’s a story about finding strength in teamwork, navigating life’s challenges, and daring to dream big even when the ground beneath you feels unsteady. The play also gently opens up conversations about family life, separation and how children discover their own voice when faced with change. Perfect for ages 8–12 (and anyone who remembers being that age), Sisters 360 is boisterous, joyful and inspiring – a celebration of skateboards, sisterhood and standing proud.

"The consultant had told me he was confident I had throat cancer that had spread into the lymph glands. Joyfully, I held his hand, and looked up to the heavens like a South American footballer after scoring a goal. It was one of the happiest moments of my life." Join multi award-winning, BAFTA-nominated writer and comedian Mark Steel for his new tour ‘The Leopard in My House’. The topic? His battle with throat cancer. A battle he is winning (thankfully) and which only his rapier wit could fashion a comedy tour show out of. Cancer has done nothing to dull Mark's acute political observations or quash his "frankly bonkers" energy: you will laugh, you will cry, but you'll laugh again, and again, and again. The Leopard in My House is proof that this leftie, working-class, Radio 4 favourite truly deserves his place in the UK comedy pantheon. Mark Steel is best known for his critically-acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show Mark Steel’s in Town (now in its 13th series), as well as his hit podcast What The F*** Is Going On…?. He has presented the BAFTA-nominated Mark Steel Lectures for BBC Two, and is a regular on BBC One’s Have I Got News for You and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz. He has also written several acclaimed books, including an adaptation of his critically acclaimed stand-up show Who Do I Think I Am? for Audible.

Bolton's Egypt Spring Study Day "Animals in Ancient Egyptian Religion"
10:30am – 7:00pm
Bolton Central Library and Museum, Le Mans Crescent, Bolton, BL1 1SE
An interactive hands-on study day that focuses on ancient Egyptian animals, how they were viewed, treated and worshiped! Our Bolton's Egypt Study Days have been going from strength to strength since our first, "All About Mummification", in Summer 2024. With this latest day we bring you "Animals in Ancient Egyptian Religion". Animals were central to ancient Egyptian belief, and were integral to the civilisation's identity. They were revered as sacred beings, embodying divine power, but also played essential social and practical roles in everything from food and labour to fertility and protection. In this study day we explore the animals encountered by the ancient Egyptians, how they were featured in daily life, and how they were incoporated into the ancient Egyptian belief system of life, death and the afterlife. Yet our Bolton Study Day not only looks at the importance of Bolton's Egyptian collection, its unique blend of workshops provides the opportunity to get up close and learn at first hand. The day will consist of two lectures, three hands-on workshops, an a practical demonstration of a mummy re-rolling. The Study Day will conclude with after-hours wine, nibbles and chats with the experts in the Bolton’s Egypt galleries themselves.

Set in 1970s Britain during a period of Tory cuts, high unemployment, and increasing inequality, focusing on the hunt for the anarchist group "The Angry Brigade" by a special police squad. The play contrasts the contrasting perspectives of the establishment and the young urban guerrillas, exploring themes of political engagement, rebellion, and the human cost of pursuing a radical vision for a fairer world.
Mathew Kelly and George Costigan star in a new staging of Samuel Beckett’s classic play - in which absolutely nothing happens. Set in a shifting, timeless landscape, Waiting for Godot follows two men, Vladimir and Estragon, as they wait for someone who may never come. As they pass the time with scraps of conversation, moments of tenderness and flashes of dark humour, their story becomes a moving reflection on what it means to keep going in a world that rarely offers answers. Beckett’s timeless play endures as one of the defining works of the 20th century and returns to our stage in all its strange, funny and heartbreaking brilliance. Darkly comic and deeply moving, Waiting for Godot is a profound exploration of what it means to be human - even when the waiting never ends.

New Year. . . same problems! It is the end of term and Godber’s hilarious comedy masterpiece has been reset for our post Covid times. bristling with teenage swagger and outlandish imagination, Salty, Gail and Hobby use their B.Tech Performance exam to showcase their work. What follows is a funny, fast moving, hard hitting account of life at Whitewall Academy as they play staff, students and site premises managers, including the new drama teacher Ms Nixon who has helped get them into drama and changed their lives. But as Salty, Gail and Hobby conclude their performance and leave state education, it appears that Miss Nixon is moving on too . . .to the local private school.
