Dave Gorman – Powerpoint To The People
Thursday 3 Nov @ Hull City Hall
Dave Gorman, the man behind Dave TV’s hit show Modern Life Is Goodish as well as Are You Dave Gorman? and Googlewhack Adventure, is back with a brand new live show, Powerpoint To The People
The ‘high priest of the comedy Powerpoint talk’ (The Times) is touring again – as much as anything to demonstrate that a PowerPoint presentation doesn’t have to involve a man in a grey suit standing behind a lectern and saying ‘next slide please’. We’ve all had enough of that, so let’s put it all behind us and never speak of it again – there are far more important things to analyse. Well… they’re more important in Dave’s head anyway.

Jimmy Carr – Terribly Funny
Saturday 5 Nov @ Bonus Arena
Chambers Touring Ltd Presents… Jimmy Carr: Terribly Funny!
Jimmy’s brand-new show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things. Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love. But they’re just jokes – they are not the terrible things. Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.
Now you’ve been warned, buy a ticket.

The Rock Orchestra By Candlelight
Saturday 5 Nov @ Hull City Hall
A chamber orchestra breathing beautifully dark energy into legendary Rock & Metal tracks, in immersive settings. Bathed in a sea of candles, skeletal players with rhinestone masks effortlessly switch between sublime melodies & powerful walls of sound. Crooked lurching towers, floating lanterns & giant head-banging puppets set the stage for an otherworldly musical experience.
Following on from their sold-out debut tour, The Rock Orchestra return to the UK with a massive, brand new 90-minute set-list featuring the biggest rock and metal songs of all time, performed in stunning, candlelit surroundings.

Fontaines D.C.
Monday 07 Nov @ Bonus Arena
Fontaines D.C. released a second track from their highly anticipated new album Skinty Fia. “I Love You,” was met with international acclaim and joined the first single, “Jackie Down The Line,” in building widespread excitement for the band’s third album. Today, the beloved Irish band – who just took home the trophy for “Best Band In The World” at the 2022 BandLab NME Awards – released the album’s titular track “Skinty Fia,” accompanied by a music video.
‘Skinty Fia’ is very much a product of the people that made it, the Ireland they grew up in and the country left behind. Perhaps uncommonly in these times, it’s an album that begs to be listened to not a few tracks at a time but in full-length sittings, as its rich, profound content reveals more with every listen.

The Drifters

The Drifters are back on tour in the UK performing all their classic hits including ‘Saturday Night at the Movies’, ‘You’re More Than A Number’, ‘Come On Over To My Place’, ‘Under the Boardwalk’, ‘Kissin’ In The Back Row’ and many more.
The legendary group have been inducted into the Rock & Roll of Fame, performed for the President of the United States and listed among the Greatest Artists of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.
Under the guidance of Tina Treadwell (daughter of the group’s original founders, George & Faye Treadwell) The Drifters have enjoyed a remarkable resurgence in recent years with multiple successful UK tours including headline shows in major arenas and, most notably, the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in London for the ever first time in the group’s glittering career!
