What's On

Ian Keable is a comic magician. His dazzling tricks and funny repartee will make children and even the most sceptical adults gasp and laugh at the same time. The consummate family entertainer, Ian believes that magic should be mystifying regardless of age. Reports from his previous shows on the rural touring circuit have mentioned how astonishing it is that a show of this calibre can been seen in a village hall and enjoyed by all ages.

The audience were delighted with the magic and comedy of Ian Keable. The clever, funny and inclusive act had everyone enthralled as Ian took them on a journey of magic tricks and illusion, seeming to answer their unspoken questions. The Cornishman

The villagers of Little and Upper Downing are sworn enemies. Nobody in living memory has crossed the field that divides them. On one very foggy night Derek Badger and Christopher Roaring meet up forming The Roaring Badgers (cue song) and swear they will unite their villages. This is a tale of two brave men and their families, their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks, battling to make their foes their friends. The four strong company bring laughter, props and music to create an evening for all the family.

It's a show with a lot of heart Lyn Gardner The Guardian

Meet the Opera Dudes - code names Posh & Bricks - two highly talented singing agents. Their unique blend of humour, swing and slapstick humour makes this one of the most original classical acts you will see. No other act will take you from Verdi to Elvis Presley taking in Rachmaninov, Lloyd Webber and Donald Duck on the way. Don't be surprised to find your feet tapping, sides splitting and heart breaking - this is pure entertainment.

Wonderful voices and laughed until I had tears running down my face. Village Hall audience member

Granny Flo’s attic is full of old junk…or is it? On a rainy day a curious child Ruby explores it, discovering forgotten treasures including an interesting pair of shoes. Her imagination is sparked and she embarks on a magical journey meeting a pirate, some animals and even has a trip into space! A brilliantly imaginative one woman show using original music, movement and dance.

Sherlock Holmes and his long-time companion Dr Watson re-enact one of their most baffling unrecorded cases – The Case of the Prime Minister, the Floozie and the Lummock Rock Lighthouse - an affair upon whose outcome the security of Europe once hung by a thread. Mr Holmes has also been entrusted with the conveyance of the fabled Satsuma Stone to the Tower of London. The evening will include a glimpse of this priceless gem; in which case, one can only be thankful that Professor James Moriarty, the Napoleon of crime, fell to his death at the Reichenbach Falls...

Fast-paced, witty and intriguing, this was entertainment at its very best Oxford Times
