    Henry Darke's : "Chippy"

    7:30 PMSt Austell Arts Theatre

    Henry Darke's 'Chippy'

    In the heart of a Cornish fishing town, Chipahoy is the last local shop left standing.
    Until now.

    Will the arrival of new owner Frank, a charismatic cabbie from London, fan flames of bubbling anger, or ignite new passions?

    And what are those ripples out at sea?

    Will Charlie take over the boat from his legendary father Felix Hicks?
    Will trawlerman Hunter Chapman turn local unease to his advantage?
    And will young Shirley swap frying fish, for tying knots?

    A riotous, daring new comedy, about what it means to live in Cornwall now, by Henry Darke.

    Kiri Pritchard-McLean : 'Peacock'

    7:30 PMSt Austell Arts Theatre

    Kiri Pritchard-McCleanLittle Wander in association with PBJ presents Kiri Pritchard-McLean : "Peacock"

    Star of 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Have I Got News For You and QI Kiri Pritchard-McLean has had a busy few years. As well as hosting Live at the Apollo, fronting the Radio 4 panel show Best Medicine and starting a comedy school, she’s become a foster parent. 

    Didn’t know that about her?
    Well, until now she hasn’t been able to talk about it on stage, she hasn’t even told the kids in her care that she’s a comedian. Oh, and she uses a different name - she’s the Bruce Wayne of comedy but without the mansions.

    However, this year something changed and after a couple of the eggiest gigs of her career in boardrooms to social workers a show about becoming a foster carer has been signed off! So, come and join “Louise” as she lifts the lid on social workers, first aid training and what not to do when a vicar searches for you on YouTube. 

    Join the co-creator and co-host of cult hit podcast All Killa No Filla for a joyous and uplifting show from a comedian known for making "powerhouse stand-up from the thorniest of subjects" (The Guardian).
