May ’25 Show

Headline act The Raymond & Mr Timpkins Revue are one of the maddest, most fabulous comedy cabaret acts you are ever likely to come across.  Much loved, sometimes copied but absolutely never bettered, this high-energy, high-speed and generally very silly duo are a fantasmagorical collision of props and music. “A mad, anarchic triumph of stupidity over style. Not to be missed”  (THE GUARDIAN)

“Sublime. It’s so slick and stylised, you wonder how they can keep it up”  (THREE WEEKS)

“This is comedy that reminds us why we go out to see live shows. And it wears its incredible skill, its labour-intensity and its comic genius so lightly one might think it is just a bit of silliness”.  (Kate Copstick The Scotsman)

+ support from Christian Reilly

Comic songs, improvisations, sharp wit and youthful energy  “The comedy equivalent of Mötorhead slamming straight into Ace Of Spades”  (The Scotsman).   Part of the Perrier award-winning show Otis Lee Crenshaw and the Black Liars,  with comic/songster Rich Hall, Christian’s career has taken him around the world three times, on his way receiving accolades at international festivals  and network TV credits in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.  “Funny sonofabitch”  RICH HALL
