Robin Morgan - The Spark
The comedian is back on the road with a hilarious brand new show - his biggest tour to date.
Robin has been seen on BBC2’s Mock The Week and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz. His previous shows have dealt with a proposal, marriage, kids and a vasectomy. So what’s next on the list? Divorce? No, not divorce. It’s about how to keep the spark alive. Not just in a marriage, but also in yourself?
Robin’s been a busy bee since the last tour. He created and hosts topical comedy panel show What Just Happened? for BBC Radio Wales; he’s supported Adam Kay and Sophie McCartney on their nationwide tours; and has written for shows such as Have I Got News For You, The Weakest Link and Bake Off: The Professionals.
He's also become somewhat of a favourite on BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, in an episode so popular that even the government complained about it.
Robin’s shows have always been about others. Now it’s time to focus on himself.
'Bloody funny, well-written, hard-working stand-up from a massively likeable performer who must surely be on the verge of nationwide fame' Chortle
'An hour of belly-hurting chortles' ★★★★★ Mumble Comedy
Age Guidance: 14+ years.
Presented by Little Wander in association with Sophie Chapman Talent.

Zoe Lyons - Werewolf
If life is a journey, Zoe’s has had more than its share of potholes and diversions.
From diving with sharks, to sitting in a shed in Vietnam with a former health secretary (and discovering that MPs aren’t the only parasites she has to worry about). Navigating the road to happiness can be exhausting and baffling. Zoe’s begun to think that even Wim Hof would prefer to be tucked up with a nice hot water bottle every now and then.
But Zoe’s been on that road long enough now that she’s felt a change – not as in the menopause. A real change. If happiness is ending up the best version of yourself, Zoe is finally getting there. She is where she needs to be. She is… werewolf.
The host of BBC’s Lightning, a regular on Have I Got News For You, QI, and Mock The Week – and a survivor of Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and World’s Most Dangerous Roads on Dave – Zoe is one of the country’s best-loved comedians.
'A hugely enjoyable mix of brutal put downs and richly funny stories, Lyons has what it takes to delight any crowd' Guardian
'A tremendously good comic operating at a vertiginous level.' ★★★★ The Wee Review
'Confident and razor sharp' Observer

Intermediate Yoga
Led by Julie Potter
This class is suited to those who have been practising for at least 6. My intention for this class is to move our practise forward, explore different avenues and approaches to the traditional postures. We will be aiming to be going deeper into ‘awareness’ and ‘noticing’.
The yoga I teach is an evolution of over 20 years of practice and study, perhaps moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an ‘internal’ sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential approach. Whilst looking at traditional Hatha Yoga postures and pranayamas, I will be encouraging fun and freedom within the traditional structure, whilst taking into our awareness fundamental anatomical and functional aspects required by our bodies for maximum wellbeing benefits.
Please bring a blanket, a yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing.
