Created in partnership with National Centre for Writing, Norwich Theatre Royal, LJHope Productions and Norwich Arts Centre. We’ve getting together to celebrate ourselves and the arts.

Dress to impress (the theme is Decadent, Deviant and Trashy) and If you don’t make the effort, our resident door whore will ensure that you are looking the part by the end of the night. With drinks, laughter, several Oh F**k moments and some amazing entertainment!

Ray Bradshaw: Deaf Comedy Fam
2019 Grammy nominated, double Ivor Novella Award winning lyricist Chris Difford discusses extracts from his book Some Fantastic Place, which takes a look back at his career, whilst performing hits from across his Squeeze back-catalogue, and debuting some new solo material.
A new work in verse and prose, with flashes of cabaret and burlesque in which Alice playfully explores the wonderful, if occasionally counter-intuitive, position of the transgender / gender-fluid individual striving to both fit in to another gender whilst at the same time yearning to establish a unique, personal voice for themselves. “Don’t let the world put you in a box, but do reserve the right to make an exhibition of yourself!” Alice d’Lumiere 2019 Supported by Norwich Arts Centre.
