Event Details

Marc Burrows known as author and award winner for The Magic of Terry Pratchett returns with his new WIP show The Britpop Hour
‘The Britpop Hour’ is a stand-up, musical and multimedia celebration of one of British music’s most iconic and enduring movements. Marking the 30th anniversary of the genre’s pinnacle: the 1995 Blur/Oasis chart battle, as well as coinciding with the reformed Oasis’ record-busting reunion tour, the show delves into the ridiculous stories, the OTT personalities and the enduring rivalries, all while celebrating some of the best music Britain has ever produced.

Part warm, trivia-packed tribute, part send-up and part one-man rock ‘n’ roll party, ‘The Britpop Hour’ is written and performed by award-winning music journalist, author, comedian, musician and 90s refugee Marc Burrows (The Guardian, The Quietus, The Independent, Big Issue, New Statesman). Mad fer’it, do ya know what I mean?

Juliette Burton: Going Rogue – Audience assemble! As a young nerd, Juliette loved dressing up. She also loved Rogue from the X-Men – funny, dark past, great costume. Now an award-winning comedian and mental health activist, Juliette’s masked in glitter and sequins. Join this geek gal on a journey of cosplay to confidence. Where does power lie? What does dressing up reveal? Can superhero stories help us rewrite our own? Gamified with introvert-friendly interactivity mutating daily.
