We’ve got a fantastic week of events happening in Hull this week. At Hull New Theatre, there’s family friendly entertainment in the form of David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny kicking off this Wednesday. Over at Hull City Hall there’s a celebration to Roy Orbison with Barry Steele & Friends, as well as live stand-up from top UK comedian Carl Hutchinson.
For all Radiohead fans, there’s a live broadcast of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s new band, The Smile, at The New Adelphi Club. However if you’re looking for a chiller, there’s yoga and peaceful exhibitions at Humber Street Gallery. Take a look at the full list below.
Gangsta Granny
Wed 26 – Sat 29 January @ Hull New Theatre
It’s Friday night and Ben knows that means only one thing – staying with Granny! There will be cabbage soup, cabbage pie and cabbage cake and Ben knows one thing for sure – it’s going to be sooooooooo boring! But what Ben doesn’t know is that Granny has a secret – and Friday nights are about to get more exciting than he could ever imagine, as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with his very own Gangsta Granny!
The Smile (Screening) – Live Broadcast
Sunday 30 January @ The New Adelphi Club
The Smile will play three consecutive live shows within a twenty-four hour period at Magazine London on the 29 and 30 January. Performing to a seated audience in the round, the three shows will also be broadcast in real time via livestream. The performances bring together a live show, a livestream and a cinematic film, captured by award-winning director, Paul Dugdale (The Rolling Stones, Adele, Paul McCartney) and produced by Driift and distributed to venues by Rippla.
