June 9, 2021
Written and adapted for the stage by Julian Clary

The Bolds are just like you and me. They live in an ordinary house in an ordinary street, and they love to laugh. But there’s one slight difference… They’re hyenas!
How long can they keep their beastly secret under their hats? Join Mr and Mrs Bold, Betty and Bobby, as they navigate work, school and friends, all whilst trying to keep up their disguise.
With live music, songs and adventures, this brand new Christmas show revels in the joy of being anything but ordinary.

Paul Merton: The Series available now on DVD
November 17, 2020
Here is Paul in his very own TV show from the ‘90s – Paul Merton: The Series.
In Series 1, he poses such philosophical questions as What do people get up to in a Turkish bath? How can a visit to the dentist become a hazard to aircraft? What do cats dream about?
Series 2 sees him go from 19th century Transylvania to 20th century Stansted Airport taking in the golden years of Hollywood along the way. And all this before he’s cast adrift on the high seas with only Delia Smith for company!
So sit back, expect the unexpected and enjoy being taken to places you never knew existed.
