It’s our back to school gig so don’t worry if you’ve forgotten how to write and started puberty because this gig is going to be conducted entirely in a spoken format and may contain mature concepts. 100% attendance is expected of you so be punctual if you want a place in the seating plan. It’s an utterly lush line-up so let’s get term underway with some pygmalion in the pub function room.

Sophie Willan

Sophie WillanBoth brutally honest and gloriously unpredictable, Sophie Willan takes inspiration from her unusual life experiences, to make bold, unapologetic and political work. A force to be reckoned with, she exudes confidence and northern charm. In 2015 powerhouse Sophie Willan secured funding of over £100k to create the dynamic multi-platform project, Stories Of Care. The work Stories Of Care does with Care-Leavers across Greater Manchester has become a national talking point, establishing Sophie as one of the UK’s leading ambassadors for Homeless and Care Experienced Young People. In 2016 Sophie took her debut hour On Record, based on her experiences of growing up in and out of the Care system, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A total sell out run and phenomenal critical acclaim followed, securing Sophie’s place as one of the most exciting rising stars in British Comedy.
