Dan Antopolski & Andy Zaltzman
Double Bill Thu 5 May, 8pm Tickets £10 (£7) Age 14+ Theatre danantopolski.com
What’s that? Not four, not three but TWO... count them... TWO of the country’s finest laughter machines sharing one stage at mac for your delight and delectation.
Mark Thomas Jenny Eclair Extreme Rambling (Walking The Wall) Mon 17 – Thu 20 Jan, 8pm Tickets £15 (£10) Age 14+ Theatre markthomasinfo.com Sometimes a performer and a venue just need each other. And how we’ve longed for the return of this legendary comedian and activist. Anarchic, questioning, intelligent and an effortless storyteller, Mark returns to mac for the first time since our reopening with his new show. Never one to take the easy option, Mark decided to go rambling in the Middle East and walked the entire length of the Israeli Separation Barrier crossing between Israel and Palestine. This is the story of 300,000 settlers, a 750 km wall, six arrests, one stoning, too much humuus and a simple question... ”Can you ever get away from it all with a good walk?”
***** “ Moving and inspiring…as gripping as any live performance you will see” The Guardian

Having amused the nation in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! the time has come for Jenny to get back on the road and do what she does best.
Many consider the British Comedy Award nominated, Sony Radio Award-winning, star of BBC2’s Attention Scum to be a comic genius. Come and see why. He’ll wear a suit.
“ Probably the best satirical comic we’ve produced in the last two decades. Intelligent, biting and silly” TimeOut
Perrier Award winner Jenny is fifty years old, which in dog years would qualify for The Guinness Book of Records. Having recently been de-wormed and with her teeth newly bleached, she’ll be prancing around the regions, basically doing her comedy tricks for a ‘nice biscuit and maybe a glass of Chardonnay’.
“ The most exciting and important comedian of the moment” The Times
Dan Antopolski - Turn of the Century
“ One of the most original and inventive comics in the country” The Observer
Who’s the comic with an ear for dialogue and a bod for sin? Triple Perrier Award Nominee, veteran Fringe sell-out and Winner of the 2009 Dave Award for Funniest Joke of the Fringe, Dan Antopolski presents his seventh solo stand-up show. Jokes? Yes sir. Raps? Almost certainly. Fun? You bet your mum, it will be fun.
Don’t expect balancing stuff on her nose or jumping through hoops, her hips are too big and she has a tendency to fall over. However do expect a Lady Gaga tribute and possibly some dancing on her back legs.
“ The Peter Cook of his generation” Stewart Lee
Love Comedy? Think you could do better? Why not enrol on our Stand Up course led by award winning local comedian James Cook.
“ One of the funniest and hardest-working comedians out there… Some of the best gags I’ve heard” **** Scotsman 2009
Good dog Jenny.
