In Hull & East Yorkshire we have a packed half term filled with fun and music, several live events and to top it off plenty of parties for the spooky season. We have something for everyone this Halloween whether you like the thrills or the chills: across Hull cinemas there’s a special broadcast of Rocky Horror for the scare lovers, and down at the Bonus Arena we also have a spectacular showing of Riverdance for those who are looking for a chilled night out.
Flipping over to the music side there’s a mix of amazing local bands and some great touring acts. With O’Rileys popping in this week to show off their collection of local bands for the Halloween Madness, all the way through to Polar Bear giving us some awesome music choice with Cannibal Animal headlining. Finishing up the selection with some parties for both adults and kids specific for our Halloween weekend. Check them out…
Collabro
Friday 29th October @ Bonus Arena
The Collabro show is due to take place at the Bonus Arena on the 29th October 2021. Having met for their first rehearsal in a pub at London Bridge in 2014, they auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent a month later and received a full standing ovation from both the audience and the judges after their performance. They went on to win the show in 2014 with one of the biggest majorities ever, and their debut album ‘Stars’ entered the UK albums chart at number one, was quickly certified gold, and became the fastest selling album in 2014. Having just announced the release of their fifth album ‘Love Like This’ on November 15th, through BMG, they will take the new album out to their fans with a full UK tour in 2020.
Iain Stirling
Wednesday 27th October @ Hull New Theatre
After selling out his 2018 smash hit U OK HUN? X and two consecutive Edinburgh Fringe runs in advance, ‘Failing Upwards’ is set to be the hot ticket of the year. Book early to avoid disappointment. Do you ever wonder how people manage to be normal? Iain does. So much so he’s written a brand new stand-up show about it. Join the ‘star of comedy’ as he explores his inability to function in the most basic of public settings, social media’s constant pressure to “live your best life” and that one time a man stole his shoes.
