Mercedes Benson Presents…the Pleasure is Yours – 18th Mar 7.30pm £6.50
Mercedes Benson takes a break from shopping in Lidl and comes to introduce some of her closest friends. OK… She hardly knows them. But she has it on good authority that they’re alright.
Be dazzled by the sparkling Beverley Vegas, have your life transformed by Carol-Ann, get yourself a lucrative little sideline courtesy of Lady Gallop, ponder life-beyond earth or simply enjoy afternoon tea with Jennifer. A multimedia, character comedy show with songs and sandwiches.
