Quick Duck Theatre

19th October 7.30pm

'One of the most palpably funny and heart-wrenching one-man performances.' ★★★★★ Feminist Fringe Reviews

'It is rare to see a performer so charmingly honest.' ★★★★★ Broadway Baby

'Laugh-out-loud funny' ★★★★★ Bum on a Seat

Don't miss the smash hit comedy from 'Rising Comic Star' (Attitude Magazine) Will Jackson.

Based on real-life correspondences; storytelling and lipsync cabaret collide in this queer coming-of-age comedy about the complications of 21st-century communication.

Will has accidentally stolen 300 second-class stamps from the post office. But he's making them count. He's going to write letters. From reconnecting with old friends and ex-boyfriends to run-ins with the marketing department at John Lewis, stamp collecting has never looked so sexy…

Audiences are invited to join Will for this incredibly gripping and emotive personal recollection of real-life interactions - from childish chocolate-fuelled mischief with Cadbury’s to sensitive and real experiences with the NHS, this intimate show tackles hard-hitting issues with humour, honesty and fun.

Following resounding success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and fresh from a nationwide tour, this ‘palpably funny and heart-wrenching’ (Feminist Fringe Reviews) story is the perfect introduction to queer comedy for all audiences.

Expect 'laugh-out-loud' (Bum on a Seat) comedy mixed with 'charmingly honest' (Broadway Baby) anecdotes in this one-man show from Quick Duck Theatre, the Birmingham-based theatre-makers with a lot of heart and a collection of killer soundtracks.

'A truly irresistible compendium' Progressive Folk

'Reflective, traditional, and incredibly powerful… essential for any lovers of English folk' House of Prog

Ashley Hutchings, the Guv'nor of Folk-Rock, has a brand new show. Entitled '100 Not Out', it is a musical review of his incredible career and celebrates and draws heavily from his 100th album release, 'More Songs From The Shows' (2022).

Throughout his nearly 60 year musical career, Ashley has worked with more great female singers than anyone else. Now he will be joined once again by one of the country's finest singers and accompanists, Becky Mills, on vocals and guitar.

With Ashley on vocals and bass, together they will present a very special words and music performance, '100 Not Out', including many of Ashley's favourite songs from his repertoire, ranging from 'Crazy Man Michael' to 'Bird on a Wire', plus a number from the songbook of Bob Dylan, with whom Ashley has formed a close personal friendship.
