This week we have yet another wide verity of performances from 1920s glitz and glamour to 2008 league winning goals. Boyband giants JLS make their way to Hull’s Bonus Arena this week as part of their reunion tour, as well as amazing tributes to Elvis, Metalica and Biffy Clyro happening across the city. Over at Hull New Theatre there’s an absolute showstopper in the form of Chicago, and Comedy Lounge have a special evening with the man who secured Hull City’s place in the Premier League, Dean Windass. Check out the full list below…
Chicago
8-13 November @ Hull New Theatre
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
Get Carter 2021: Wendy Kirkland Trio ft. Dennis Rollins
10 November @ Hull Truck Theatre
Acclaimed pianist and Hammond player Wendy Kirkland presents fresh arrangements of Roy Budd’s iconic score for the Ted Lewis inspired Get Carter, probably the most influential gangster movie ever made. This world premiere has been commissioned by the Ted Lewis Society to mark the film’s 50th anniversary. Ted attended Hull School of Art and lived in Barton-upon-Humber.

Biffy McClyro
13 November @ O’Rileys
Biffy McClyro has been formed by die hard Biffy fans, for die hard Biffy fans. Initially their set comprised of all of the big singles from the full back catalogue, ready for thefestivals, though as time goes on, more and more album favourites are working their way into the set. Expect anthem after anthem from one of the UK’s biggest names in rock. The band have played thousands of gigs between them throughout their careers, and hope that this combination of experience and passion (with a small dose of skill) will see them do more than justice to their musical heroes.
