‘JOE Can dO ME BEttER than I Can dO MySElF’. During his career, Joe has received gold and platinum discs
for his albums and enjoyed sell-out concerts at the Royal
Albert Hall, as well as touring Australia several times.

AND NOw fOr SOMETHINg COMPLETELY DIffErENT AgAIN... As many tickets were soldalot, And many men did laughalot
This theatre did thinkalot, And henceforth brought back Spamalot.
Audiences all around the world have been roaring with
laughter since monty Python’s Spamalot, by Eric Idle and
John Du Prez, won the Tony Award for Best musical in 2005.
Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and
the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy
(or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings
not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.
The show features the hilarious songs He Is Not Dead Yet,
Knights Of The Round Table, Find Your Grail and of
course the Nation’s Favourite Comedy Song
alWayS lOOk On thE BRIght SIdE OF lIFE.
Alongside Phill Jupitus, the longest-serving member of
Never Mind the Buzzcocks, playwright, performer and actor as
King Arthur are Jodie Prenger, star of Oliver! and TV’s I'd Do
Anything, as the Lady of the Lake and Todd Carty aka Tucker,
expert ice-skater and EastEnders stalwart as Patsy. Don’t
miss your night with the Knights of the Round Table at
the most infectiously funny musical of the millennium.

RaCE alOng tO ‘ChaMpIOn OF ChaMpIOnS’
Roary, the number 1 little race car ‘zooms’ into theatres for the
very first time in a brand new live stage show!
It’s the day of the ‘Champion of Champions’ race at Silver Hatch
and Roary is all set to battle it out with maxi, Cici, and all the
other cars to win the race and lift the trophy!
Farmer Green has created some brand new bio fuel to make sure
this race is the fastest and greenest ever... but hang on... Flash has
his eyes on that fuel for his skateboard and Big Chris seems more
interested in baking a pizza and eating doughnuts than on preparing
the cars for the race! Luckily marsha marshall is on hand to make
sure that everyone will be ready at the track for the big day.
So who will win the race and be crowned the champion? Race
down to New Wimbledon Theatre this June to find out.

REgInald d hUntERIn just over a decade since he began
performing, Reginald D Hunter has become
one of the UK comedy industry’s best-known
and most distinctive performers. His work is
often brutally honest, frequently controversial
but always meticulously measured and thought
out. He is one of the few performers to have
been nominated for the highly coveted main
Perrier Award in three consecutive years
and has become a well-known face on prime
time television shows such as Live At The
Apollo and QI and is a frequent guest on
Have I Got News For You.
