Goodness its been a while!
This week is jam-packed with entertainment at the Nook Cafe. On Thursday 20 May we are very pleased to present Eric’s Tales of the Sea – A Submariners Yarn
Eric has been receiving rave reviews all over the shop so get your tickets early for a truly magical evening of whimsical story-telling. Here’s what the press have said…
“A gifted raconteur, Eric has a story to tell, and he tells it superbly. In fact he doesn’t just tell us, he shows us too; with the aid of some astonishing visuals we get an insider’s view of the mysterious world beneath the waves in a Royal Navy Nuclear Submarine. Audiences will be transported to an underwater existence where edgy camaraderie, black humour, death and destruction are the closest of bedfellows…Truly Excellent” ***** (Fringereview.co.uk)
“Unique, riveting, funny and poignant, this superb comedy is not just another stand up show, but a cross between comedy and theatre…Deftly Emotional – a Quietly Wonderful Show” (The Times)
Tickets are £6 and are available online from wegottickets here or you can pop into the cafe Thursday daytime and swap real cash for some real hand-printed ones!
