Samuel Butler: Outing the Past @ Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery
Tickets
Feb 1 – Mar 3 all-day
Samuel Butler: Outing the Past @ Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery | England | United Kingdom

An exhibition for LGBT History Month 2019. Exploring the life and work of author, artist and photographer Samuel Butler.
Butler is most known for his satirical novels ‘Erewhon’ (published anonymously in 1872) and ‘The Way of All Flesh’ (published posthumously in 1903), a semi-autobiographical novel which attacks Victorian family values.

Butler had strong connections to Shrewsbury; his grandfather (also Samuel) was headteacher at the Shrewsbury School, he himself was a pupil, he owned a prominent mansion house in the town (Whitehall in Cherry Orchard) and named four streets in the area, including Alfred Street after his clerk Alfred Cathie.

Samuel Butler’s father Thomas was a noted local botanist and donated over 220 plant specimens to the museum. Samuel Butler also had a long correspondence with naturalist, geologist and biologist Charles Darwin, who was born and grew up in Shrewsbury.

Members of the local LGBT community and Museum volunteers have been working together to plan, research, interpret and design the exhibition.

It will include items on loan from St Johns College Cambridge and items from SM&AG and Shropshire Archives. These include photographs of people and places around Shrewsbury taken by Samuel Butler.

The exhibition has been part funded by the West Midlands Museums Development Trust Small Grants Programme.

Vulvarine: A New Musical @ Theatre Severn | England | United Kingdom

Bryony Buckle is astoundingly average. Her days are filled with mind numbing office work, thinking about lunch and lusting after Orson Bloom from IT. But following a dose of hormone therapy gone wrong and a well-timed bolt of lightning, Bryony gains superhero abilities and a brand-new persona: Vulvarine, saviour of womankind. Where is all the tampon tax going? Who is The Mansplainer, and what is his evil plan? Grab your tights, your spanx and your most supportive sports bra. It’s hero time.

Award Winning Stand-Up Comedy Live! @ Hermon Chapel Arts Centre
Tickets
Mar 7 @ 8:30 pm – 11:00 pm
Award Winning Stand-Up Comedy Live! @ Hermon Chapel Arts Centre | England | United Kingdom

Frank Foucault.

Simply put, Frank will redefine how you see comedy.
After successfully touring his solo show “Shoes” around various comedy festivals (including a wondrous, 4 star performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival), he has decided to come to Oswestry… because he’s a maverick like that.
Shoes featured stories about dating and relationships, told via the medium of shoes.

As Frank says himself, “It’s better than it sounds.”
No shoes will be harmed during his performance, although we take no responsibility for sides getting split.
•”A tiny work of comic genius” – The Scotsman

•”The audience watched him indulge in an intimate relationship with a vase of flowers… ☆☆☆☆” – Broadway Baby

•”Frank will make you laugh or feel like the world is missing something tremendously funny that only he can show you” – Welsh Unsigned Stand Up Awards

•”Stupidly funny” – Chortle.co.uk
•Chortle Student Comedy Award 2017 finalist

•Nominated Magners New Act of the Year 2015

•Welsh Unsigned Stand Up Awards finalist 2014 & 2015

Nigel Lovell

What have Russell Howard, Miranda Hart and Tim Minchin got in common?
They have all had 1 star reviews.
Nigel holds a yearly show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival called “The Worst Show on the Fringe” – a compilation show for acts who have received such reviews – usually due to drunken audiences, technical failures, miserable reviewers… or because they were rubbish.
•”Wonderful ☆☆☆☆” – The Scotsman.

•”Painfully Funny ☆☆☆☆” – TheWeeReview.com
•UK Pun Championships finalist 2016

•Appeared on BBC’s Charlie Brooker’s Election Wipe

Paul Campbell
There’s no real way to describe Paul.

He loves drinking milk.

He’s a new comedian who is already barging his way onto quality line-ups (such as this one).

He really loves drinking milk.

His choice in knitwear is fabulous.

Knitwear and milk do NOT mix.
•”Absolutely brilliant” – Rhyl Comedy Club
•Cheshire Cat Comedy new comedian of the year 2018 runner up

Roger Swift.

He’s been performing on the comedy circuit for over 9 years and has developed a following for his uber-alternative, prop-based pun-lunacy.

Cringy levels of sheer genius at 100 MPH with more home made props than you’ve ever seen before.
Expect corny jokes, don’t expect observational humour.
If you don’t “get” Roger Swift, then you don’t “get” comedy.
•”A couple of people were laughing that hard, I worried for their health. He’s a demented genius” – Notts Comedy Review

•”He is a cross between Tim Vine, Timmy Mallet and Charlie Chuck… People try to work out if he’s play-acting or going through some kind of trauma. The jury is out so you decide” – Chortle.co.uk
•One of Dave’s Top jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe 2016

•UK Pun Championship finalist 2016 & 2017

•Midlands Comedy Awards ‘Best Alternative’ winner

•Midlands Comedy Awards ‘Outstanding Contribution’ winner

Jul 9 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Sam Avery: The Learner Parent @ Theatre Severn | Shrewsbury | United Kingdom

Parenthood is a crafty beast. The second you master something it changes the game so you’re rubbish at it again.

Stand-up comedian, viral blogger and bestselling author Sam Avery (aka the Learner Parent) started his award-winning blog when his twin boys were born. A million nappies, Peppa Pig episodes and a head-full of hair loss later, he shares all the lows, highs and hilarious in-betweens of his experiences of first-time parenthood.

Sam’s honest, messy account of wrestling with sleep deprivation and breast pumps – right through to his botched attempts at discipline and pathetic bids to stifle various toddler tantrums that definitely registered on the Richter scale – will have you testing your pelvic floor with laughter.

‘Quick wit and painfully funny’ METRO

A cash bar will be available throughout the night serving soft and alcoholic drinks AND curry! For just £8.95 you can treat yourself to a curry, rice and naan (veggie curry available).
