Mick Perrin Worldwide

'Compelling onstage charisma. He remains a towering presence in absolute control' ★★★★ (Evening Standard). 'Arguably the most accomplished act in the comedy section of your Fringe brochure' (Scotsman).

Genesis Legacy
Genesis Legacy is a celebration show band unlike any other. Genesis is a super group that featured 4 pillars of British Rock, Pop and Progressive Rock that set the careers for Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett. Steve and Peter went on to launch successful Solo careers, but neither were as stratospheric as Phil Collins himself- giving us some of the best loved pop music ever produced. Mike Rutherford's side project Mike and The Mechanics, was formed with Paul Carrack and Paul Young (not that one!) and gave us such hits as 'In the Living Years' and 'Over my Shoulder' Genesis Legacy brings the biggest songs from those 5 connected super-acts into an explosive show performed by super-fans of these artists with an attention to detail and affection for the music that's rarely found in a tribute show today.

Sh*t Faced Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet
The smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, multi sell-out fringe phenomenon is touring the UK with one of Shakespeare's most loved plays: Romeo and Juliet. Shit-faced Shakespeare is the hilarious combination of an entirely serious adaptation of a Shakespearean classic, with an entirely shit-faced cast member. With one cast member selected at random and given four hours to drink before every show we present to you classical theatre as it was always meant to be seen. With a gin in one hand, a cup of wine in the other and a flagon of ale in the other… What could possibly go wrong? Shit-Faced Shakespeare seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as we go to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.
“A great night out to get properly pucked up. It’s what Willy would have wanted.” Time Out ★★★★
“There is no doubt this is a hoot to watch” Evening Standard

Built in 1936 as a cinema and theatre, by the late 70s the Tivoli was under threat of demolition but following a long campaign to save the building it reopened in 1993. Today it continues its tradition of showing a mixture of cinema and live performance and sometimes both, with a good deal of events being event cinema screenings. It receives no Lottery or government funding and relies for its revenue entirely on its customers and supporters.
