Morgan & West: Unbelievable Science 4****

Time travelling magicians, Rhys Morgan and Robert West, met whilst studying at Oxford and in a previous life were both science teachers. Welcoming their large audience into the theatre in their Victorian finery you immediately get the impression this is … Read More

Micky P Kerr: Kerr in the Community 5*****

This a very enjoyable entertaining hour of comedy, music, and a little dance. Micky P Kerr hails from Leeds. He is a primary school teacher in another life and made it to the finals of Britain’s Got Talent. He didn’t … Read More
