The Good Enough Mums Club, 23 May 2013 - 24 May 2013
23 May 2013 - 24 May 2013 - Theatre at mac
The Good Enough Mums Club is a poignant and hilarious toddle through the highs, lows and sleep deprivation of mummyhood. From peeing on sticks to drooping tits we share the love and dispel the myths with enough wipes on hand to mop the tears and clean away the snotty laughter.
Five women, thrown together by motherhood, overcome their isolation, loneliness, judgment and desire for perfection to discover that they're stronger as a group than as individuals, and that sometimes, being good enough, is best.
This hysterical, heartbreaking and honest new musical, written by actresses and exhausted mothers, Emily Beecher & Sally Samad, with music composed by Chris Passey and Amy Carroll, is capturing the attention of critics, parents and non-parents alike throughout the country.

Ridiculusmus: Total Football, 24 May 2013 - 25 May 2013
24 May 2013 - 25 May 2013 - Theatre at mac
Created, Written and Performed by David Woods and Jon Haynes
As sports world bigwigs prepared to descend on London for last year's games and bureaucratic busybodies tried to figure out how best to exploit the national fervour, Ridiculusmus created its very own satirical take on it all - Total Football.
Picking over football systems, political wrangling and changing room banter, Total Football tackles the big questions of life - immortality, happiness and why England always lose. From the controversial attempt to create a united UK football team for the 2012 games to one man’s attempts to reproduce when he can’t even explain the offside rule, Ridiculusmus has patched up its metatarsals to examine the melting pot of what it means to be British today.

25 May 2013 - Club at The Bulls Head
Bargain Bin Soul is what happens when you encourage one man's obsession with 80s RnB and turn it into a regular DJ slot with it's own accompanying mix series. Since getting told off by DJ legend Theo Parrish for playing poor quality vinyl rips at a Leftfoot show last year, local fixture G.Bird (Beck & Bird, Flamingo Flame, Free School) has amassed nearly 400 records, trawling his parents collection and the numerous second-hand outlets around the city for unwanted disco, soul, b-boi hip hop and even a little bit of new jack swing. Bargain Bin Soul promises to deliver big, sexy and glamorous dancefloor grooves, all night long.
