Do you like games? Does your kids/ nephews/ nieces/ cousins, like games?
Well… how about joining us at The Charles Bradlaugh on September 11th for a live comedy game show where we all play along?!
There is a kids show at 4pm recommended for ages 6+. Then an evening show at 7.30pm recommended for ages 12+.
Here’s some information on the show:
Log in with your smartphone or tablet and compete in a range of games, quizzes and challenges to win the show. Hosted by comedian and regular videogames commentator Steve McNeil (Team Captain on Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit, host/regular on Challenge TV's Videogame Nation), the show was first performed as part of the Royal Institution's 2015 Summer Programme after Steve and Rob Sedgebeer's appearance on their 2014 BBC Christmas Lectures. In 2016 they returned with a new show, at which they broke the Guinness World Record for "Most People Playing A Single Game of Pong" (286 people, the previous record was 251)
This will be a lot of fun. We hope you’ll join us and help spread the word! :)
Sunday June 12th
It’s that time of the year again where hundreds of comedians and performers prepare to take their shows up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. As a result so many acts need stage time to test their shows, which is why around this time we like to book in various Edinburgh Preview shows to support live comedy.
We’ve got one coming up this Sunday at The Old Savoy on Abington Square. It’s an all day event, from 2pm - 9:30pm. We’ve got 5 Edinburgh preview shows from the likes of Nick Helm, Angela Barnes, Hal Cruttenden, Harriet Kemsley, Peter Rethinasamy and Daniel Foxx.
There will be half hour intervals between each show, with 1 hour long interval between 6-7pm where food will be available at the venue.
This is an opportunity to see 5 hour long shows for just £25. It’s a full day of comedy and guaranteed to be a lot of fun with a great mixture of acts! For more information on the shows, click HERE. For tickets see below. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at welovecrates@gmail.com
We hope to see you there!
Tuesday 17th May at The Wheatsheaf
Tomorrow night we’re back at The Wheatsheaf in Dallington Village for another free entry, pay what you want comedy night. We’ve got 6 acts and our MC Ben Aveling.
These nights consist of acts trying out new material or new acts perfecting their set to perform at bigger clubs up and down the country. It’s essentially a workshop, and the only way to know if you’ve written something funny is to say it in front of a crowd full of strangers right? And let’s be honest, Northampton has been the testing ground for things like Chip & Pin, delivery robots, so why not comedy…
These nights are a lot of fun, it’s relaxed, in an intimate space. Talk to someone who has been watching stand up for a long time, they’ll likely have a story about how they saw one of the big TV acts in a small pub years ago before they made it big.
We don’t charge an entry fee for these nights, we don’t make any money on these nights. We put our time and effort in to support the acts, local venues and to give people something else to do on a Tuesday evening. We do a bucket split at the end and all the money taken after the shows is split between the comics to contribute towards their travel costs.
If you fancy it, we’ll be kicking off at 8pm tomorrow night. Or it’s the 3rd Tuesday of the month at The Wheatsheaf in Dallington Village. They do some great food as well, so why not pop down a bit earlier and check it out.
