Kenneth Williams: A Celebration

Kenneth Williams was one of Britain’s most distinctive and beloved performers, in a career spanning over forty years. To celebrate his legacy, join  Russell Davies, Mark Farrelly and Madeline Smith for an unforgettable journey through Kenneth’s extraordinary life. The performance showcases readings of scenes and sketches from his most iconic work, alongside moving and revealing extracts from his private diaries which will be shared onstage for the very first time. By turns hilarious and deeply poignant, this celebration pays tribute to the wit and brilliance of a true national treasure. There will also be a Q and A with the cast, and a chance to share your memories of Kenneth. 

The readings are drawn from such eclectic sources as Round the Horne, Gogol’s Diary of a Madman, the Carry On films, The Bible and Jackanory, as well as the diaries and letters of Kenneth Williams and Joe Orton. The performance also showcases a host of rarely seen images of Kenneth. 

Russell Davies edited The Kenneth Williams Diaries (1993) and The Kenneth Williams Letters (1994), and Madeline Smith worked with Kenneth in Carry On Matron. Mark Farrelly never met the great man but is, like so many of us, a lifelong fan.

Suzi Ruffell: The Juggle [Special Recording]

After two sell-out London shows, Suzi returns for one special night at Wilton’s Music Hall to record her latest show: The Juggle!

It’s hard to be good all the time. A good mother, a good daughter, a good partner, a good friend, a good person. To be ambitious but not ruthless; a success but not a sell-out. A gentle parent but not a pushover. To be smashing life and make it look easy. The juggle. Suzi is exhausted and she hasn’t even started. This is a stand-up show and a support group!

The Juggle is a brand new tour from confessional multi-award winning comedian Suzi Ruffell.

‘A fabulously funny show from a class act’  ★★★★ Evening Standard 

Suzi has appeared on Live at the Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show, The Last Leg and QI. Suzi co-hosts smash-hit podcasts Big Kick Energy with Maisie Adam and Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen, as well as having her own podcast, OUT with Suzi Ruffell. She even finds time to host on Virgin Radio. Suzi’s debut book, Am I Having Fun Now? was released in June 2025 and became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller.

Tim Key: Loganberry

 

Tim Key (Alan Partridge, The Ballad of Wallis Island, Tim Key’s Late Night Poetry Programme) again pops his suit on, plods about, in a brand-new show.

Bit gutted he’s old. Guzzling continental lager. Magnetic lol. Decent reviews for previous shows. Played a pigeon in Bong Joon Ho’s latest movie. Been on Richard Herring’s podcast. Book out: “L.A. Baby!”. Met Steffi Graf in 1998/9.

This show has poems in, and he’ll stamp and howl. Won the Perrier Award in 2009!

Cally Beaton: Namaste Motherf*ckers

Now a Sunday Times best seller​

Namaste Motherf*ckers is the new show from Cally Beaton (QI, Live at the Apollo) – a quick-witted, unexpected and unapologetic insight into life in midlife. Combining Cally’s comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention – taking her from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers. A funny show about a deadly serious subject, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a celebration of and for the female of the species. Invisible no more.

At the show there will be the opportunity to buy Cally’s Sunday Times best-selling book Namaste Motherf*ckers, and Cally will be doing a post-show signing.
