JOSIE LONG: RE-ENCHANTMENT
16th September, 8.00pm
‘After defeat,
re-enchantment
is necessary,’ said
Lola Olufemi.
This thought
inspires Josie
Long’s brand-
new show of stand-up infused
with humanity, compassion and some brief political rants. The triple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, underdog Fringe hero and delirious new mother (the first person to have two babies) returns with a show about the changes wrought by time, passion, moving to Scotland, and loving the world under – let’s face
it – difficult circumstances.

REV RICHARD COLES – BORDERLINE NATIONAL TRINKET 17th September, 7.00pm
A multi-instrumentalist who partnered Jimmy Somerville in the 1980s band The Communards - achieving three Top Ten hits, including the biggest selling hit of 1986 ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ - Richard subsequently left the pop world to train for a priesthood in the Church of England, becoming what can only be described as a thoroughly modern vicar.
