7. Comedy
Simon Evans: The Work of the Devil, The Stables, Wavendon, February 24. Simon Evans’ last show, Genius 2.0, provided an analysis of what he saw as the departure of any visible sign of intelligence from modern life. But his new show raises the stakes, with his usual excoriating views of the world given a perspective shift from personal revelations that have turned his world upside down. Simon Evans is the star of Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth and Simon Evans Goes To Market. Simon has made appearances on This Week, Question Time, Celebrity Mastermind, Pointless Celebrities and Mastermind The Professionals. Visit stables.org to book or for more information.
8. Music
Naturally 7, The Stables, Wavendon, March 1. The unique group had to coin a phrase – ‘vocal play’ – to describe what they do. Their vocal choreography is so perfectly interwoven that they compelled musical maestro Quincy Jones to declare them “the best a cappella group in the world”. Visit stables.org to book.
