“30 just matters, init. Like there’s SESSIONS By Ifeyinwa Frederick A Paines Plough and Soho Theatre Production “30 just matters, init. Like there’s no doubt you’re a proper adult then. Like 25 to 29 is just training but 30, it’s real.” Tunde’s 30th birthday is fast approaching. So, he’s just started therapy because he hasn’t been able to get to the gym for weeks and a recent one-night stand ended in tears – his. Interrogating the challenge of opening up and accepting our own vulnerabilities, SESSIONS by Ifeyinwa Frederick is a raw, funny, bittersweet deep-dive into the complexities of masculinity, depression and therapy.

Ireland, 1966. An ordinary skipper sails into the sleepy town of Dingle with a very unusual catch…
Chaos immediately ensues and a ridiculous Ireland, 1966. An ordinary skipper sails into the sleepy town of Dingle with a very unusual catch… Chaos immediately ensues and a ridiculous series of events are put into motion, involving the head of the Irish government, a publican who happens to be an amateur marine biologist, a magical dolphin, the actual Queen of England, and a whole bunch of really confused nuns. An unbelievable true story, Catch of the Day is a riotous romp of a play, all set in a West of Ireland pub. Built from the testimonies of those who remember, this ‘side-splittingly funny’ (The Irish Post ★★★★★) and ‘utterly joyous’ (Within Her Words ★★★★★) mash-up of live music, comedy, and theatre, is the ideal show for a night out with friends and family. Following an award-nominated run at Edinburgh Fringe (shortlisted for Best Musical), critically acclaimed, sell–out shows in London and Oxford, and fresh from its home-coming Irish tour, Catch of the Day visits the Isle of Wight for the first time. Bring your mates and your mammy, grab a pint with the lads from Dingle, and get ready for one craic-ing night out. One fish can make a big splash.

Featuring his signature blend of philosophical inquiry, personal examination, and sweet gags, Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ahir Shah returns to stand-up with a new show about significance, insignificance, and scurvy.
Ahir’s last show, Featuring his signature blend of philosophical inquiry, personal examination, and sweet gags, Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ahir Shah returns to stand-up with a new show about significance, insignificance, and scurvy. Ahir’s last show, Dots, was recorded as a special for HBO Max (albeit after a 14 month delay brought about by events you may recall). That show was about uncertainty. Ideally, this tour will end in a way that is less on the nose. As seen on Mock The Week, Live At the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and The Mash Report. ‘Intricately crafted, profoundly moving, howlingly funny … a blazing talent firing on all cylinders’★★★★★ Telegraph ‘Tremendously thoughtful, woundedly candid and self-laceratingly funny’★★★★ Scotsman “It’s a highly personal howl in the dark from this sharpest of operators. Impassioned, probing and unexpectedly moving.” ★★★★ Mail on Sunday Wednesday 16th February 2022 – 8pm Tickets: £12 Under 25 £6 Culture Pass 2for1 Unlimited Pass Free 12+
