SATURDAY 5th JULY 7.30pm

In the ever-evolving book of British comedy, Jim Davidson OBE remains a best-seller, writing new chapters of hilarity that captivate capacity audiences year after year.

An Evening with Richard Digance

FRIDAY 5th SEPTEMBER 7.30PM

Richard Digance has been on the planet for over 75 years, 58 of them of them on stage. If this BAFTA Nominated entertainer and a recipient of The Gold Award from The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters doesn’t have songs to sing or stories to tell then it would be a shock to one and all.

He has released 45 albums, written 24 books and composed audiobook music and songs for Bill Bryson. He has worked in America with movie star Steve Martin and recalls two of his greatest moments as playing The London Palladium with Robin Williams and a guitar duet on TV with Queen guitarist Brian May.

Always a brilliant night, we are delighted to welcome Richard back to the West Cliff Theatre.

SUNDAY 9th NOVEMBER 7.30pm

Live on stage and in person, television favourites COLIN BAKER (Doctor Who, The Brothers) and PETER PURVES (Blue Peter, The Office) lead the cast in a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic – which also features a rare, specially recorded appearance by TOM BAKER (Doctor Who, Monarch Of The Glen) as Jacob Marley!

“On Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge is warned by the ghost of Jacob Marley that he will be visited by three Spirits – Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet To Come.

They whisk Scrooge to the past and his happy boyhood Christmastimes, to the present to meet Tiny Tim at Bob Cratchit’s Christmas feast, and to the future and Scrooge’s own miserable grave – all to show him the error of his ways. But will Scrooge wake on Christmas morning a changed man?”

Presented as a radio-play-live-on-stage, our setting is a radio studio, our actors ready as if for a radio broadcast, and our sound effects created live, all combining to transport the audience to Victorian London, for Dickens’ timeless tale of charity, forgiveness and redemption at Christmas.

Nik Kershaw-Musings & Lyrics

WEDNESDAY 12th NOVEMBER 2025, 7.30pm

An intimate evening of songs, stories and silliness in the company of Nik Kershaw.

Nik Kershaw exploded onto the UK pop scene in 1984. A string of global hit singles including ‘Wouldn’t it Be Good’, ‘The Riddle’ and ‘I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ saw him languish for 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, making him the UK’s biggest selling solo artist that year. In 1985, he performed at Live Aid. After stepping out of the limelight to concentrate on writing and producing, Nik wrote Chesney Hawkes’s ‘The One and Only’ and collaborated with Elton John, Lulu, Petula Clark, The Hollies, Ronan Keating, Jason Donovan, Let Loose, Sia, Imogen Heap, Gary Barlow and Bonnie Tyler. In 1998, Nik returned to performing and has been crafting critically acclaimed albums ever since. Now he’s ready to look back with an intimate evening to coincide with the release of his new book. Expect songs, stories, and silliness from one of the nation’s most-loved performers.
