Before the Lights

York House Centre · Stony Stratford

The ever-increasing costs of creating and installing Stony’s magnificent Christmas Lights display means ever-increasing needs for fundraising. YOU, TOO, can help by buying tickets for “Before the Lights” and enjoying an evening of music from some of the finest performers on the scene. An evening of live music from the four host bands of the Old George Open Mic, held every Sunday. This is your chance to see the musicians themselves let their hair down, join forces, and enjoy playing for the sheer fun of it. Expect a few surprises, special guest singers, and plenty of memorable moments along the way. Your hosts Pete Venes, Ant Boylan, Andy Powell, and Hélène Walker will each bring their own band to the stage, creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere throughout the evening. Get switched on with: Second Sunday Senior Serenaders with Pete Venes Fairfield & Co with Hélène Walker & David Gilchrist Wallabies with Ant Boylan Andy Powell & the Leftovers The event is called Before the Lights because it takes place before the Stony Lights switch-on, and as a tribute to our friend Ian Anderson, who was a member of After the Lights and a much-loved former host of the Old George Open Mi...

2:22 A Ghost Story

Buscot Park Theatre · Faringdon

A Dinner party; A haunted house; A tragic secret. As the clock ticks towards 2:22am tensions amongst the four dinner guests start to rise and reality begins to unravel. Is there really something in the house, or is someone losing their mind? 2:22 A Ghost Story is full of twists and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final chilling moment. Only Four performances, each starting at 7.30pm. Our bar will be serving wines, beer and soft drinks from 6.45pm and during the interval. Cash or card payments accepted. The theatre is quite remote, so a car is needed for access, and there is a short walk from the car park to the theatre. The auditorium is accessed via a flight of stairs, and the seating itself is raked, which makes it unsuitable for those with reduced mobility (wheelchair users, people who rely on a walking frame)

The Antic Follies present a spectacular Sunday night of cabaret, comedy, clowning and live music at Jamboree! “…the dirty alternative to Soho’s glitz, a diabolical night of cabaret and burlesque" Tonight's performers are: Dominic Jones! Obsessive songs and literary tales about the morbid and the mystical that strike a fine line between humour and darkness. Cheekykita! “Like Alice in Wonderland on Adderall… curious, shambolic and kind of magical” Wild, absurd, and gloriously un-pigeon holed. Part stand-up showcase, part dance, part cabaret, part installation art. Imagine Kate Bush marrying The Mighty Boosh, with Harry Hill officiating. Mancunian charm, pop-culture wit, endlessly engaging. Nina Smith as "Debbie Dongler"! Actor, voiceover artist and a comedy performer with an interest in clowning and performance art, tonight performing as her character " Debbie Dongler". Winner of The Funny Women Awards in double act "Twisted Loaf". "They stormed the night with surreal, silly and beautifully performed sketches reminiscent of Cardinal Burns ( and- in the case of Smith- Rowan Atikinson)" - Huffington Post Mark Duncan! Actor, director and physical performer, Mark is a graduat...
