As we leave January behind, we draw ever closer to the end of the cold days and freezing nights – and with the fantastic selection of events in Hull to pass the time, the days are sure to fly by.
This week we’ve got exhibitions such as L’Hiver 2023 at Studio Eleven, music gigs like the Ultimate 90s Party at the Beverley Memorial Hall, and top-notch comedy from the likes of Lloyd Griffith – and more.
And don’t forget, even if nothing catches your eye – there’s tons more over in our events listings!

Lloyd Griffith: One Tonne of Fun
Wednesday 1 Feb – Thursday 2 Feb @ Hull Truck Theatre
After Lloyd’s last tour was interrupted by ‘you know what’ and ended up lasting 8 years or so, he’s BACK with a brand-new, fresh stand-up show for 2023. This is his biggest tour to date, and he is pumped / really needs you to come.
Since school Lloyd has always been a show-off, doing anything he can to make people laugh, and 20-odd years later, nothing’s changed. There’ll be his unique bag of stand-up, dubious impressions, and obviously a sprinkling of his (incredible) singing. Lloyd Griffith is: One Tonne of Fun.

Halle Orchestra
Thursday 2 Feb @ Hull City Hall
The Hallé Orchestra returns to Hull with an evening of Romantic music, opening with a colourful symphonic poem which was inspired by the classical Greek story of the daughters of Aeolus, keeper of the winds. Composed alongside his operatic masterpiece Tristan and Isolde, Wagner’s passionate Wesendonck Lieder is a collection of five love songs, performed here by Jennifer Johnston.
Tchaikovsky’s mighty Sixth Symphony was his final symphonic manuscript. It encapsulates the composer’s emotional power and was a work Tchaikovsky himself regarded as the best thing he had ever composed.
