🚨DAY 1 LINEUP🚨

11:00 - 'Risky Texts We Sent As Teens' by Callum Walker and Sophie Curtis: A verbatim celebration of all the cringy texts we should never have sent, read to you by two adults who are trying to forget it all!

12:30 - 'Order From Chaos' by The Nottingham New Theatre: Jay grew up on music. Underground dance, classical, everything in between: she was obsessed. But Jay is losing her hearing. Passion, youth, and love, explored through music and sign language, Order From Chaos tells the story of a teenager reconnecting with her passion after believing she never could again.

14:00 - 'Decibels' by Elaine Fellows: A new one-woman show. We meet Stephanie, a twentysomething who has just moved to the city for a fresh start. She takes us through the disaster that is her life so far - drunken s*x, awkward waxes, the list goes on. Now's her chance to become a new woman with her own place and a cure for her box-set addiction. But something still feels like it's missing and it's not just a boyfriend. A touching comedy exploring how we deal with loss.

15:30 - '2021: A Sketch Odyssey' by Hideout Productions: In a world where humans work alongside robots, cars can drive themselves, and clones are available on every high street, our actors will muddle through this brave new world while trying not to scuff their shiny chrome spacesuits. Expect parodies of Doctor Who, Star Wars and Jurassic Park as we prove once and for all that laughs find a way!

17:00 - Bummer and Lazarus' by Big Egg Theatre: An absurd comedy that blends slapstick, nonsense and existentialism. This is the tale of two inseparable friends, renowned killers, and the most famous faces in California. Under the careful tutelage of his best friend Bummer, Lazarus will learn everything; from physiology to ontology, fact to fiction, life to death. Bummer is more concerned with staying alive. The pair are trapped, and are beginning to starve. If they don't escape soon they will surely die. And they are both dogs.

18:30 - 'Bost-Uni Plues' by Ugly Bucket Theatre: Winner of the Best Director and Best Production at the Liverpool Fringe 2018, and winner of the Stephen Jeffrey's Award, a Spotlight most promising actor award, and The Holbeck Cup at NSDF 2019, Ugly Bucket Theatre returns to Nottingham with Bost-Uni Plues, described as 'electric', 'brave', and 'heartbreaking yet f*ing hilarious!'Everyone says that university is the best three years of your life! So what happens next? Based on true experiences told by graduates, join three clowns as they leave the comfort of timetables, deadlines, and student life behind and enter the real world. A world full of expectation, proper jobs, and council tax. Bost-Uni Plues is an explosion of energy, honesty, dance, movement, techno, and plain silliness that explores life after graduation. Because when you're told that the best three years of your life are behind you, what else is left other than post-uni blues?

20:00 - 'A Mixtape Mind' by Yasmine Dankwah:
Growing up Tahlia would record herself and everything else using a tape recorder her mum gave to her. She would use it to relive memories, understand herself, understand society, family, friendship, love...loss - and how she would come to terms with that along side Reggie, a family friend. Using spoken word as a medium to explore the importance of family, letting it all out and learning to let go, A Mixtape Mind is a scratch piece about memory and coming to terms with the death of a loved on.

21:30 - 'Don't Bother' by Bróccán Tyzack-Carlin: A stand-up poetry show about dead dogs, chocolate and nostalgia. In his debut solo outing, Bróccán Tyzack-Carlin presents a semi-coherent exploration of nothing in particular, using some words that rhyme and some more that don't. Don't Bother blends surreal humour with storytelling and spoken word for a unique hour of comedy.

All followed my an Open Mic Night!
