Hijinx: Meet Fred
26 February
After touring 20+ countries and delighting thousands of audiences, Meet Fred returns to the UK for its 10th anniversary tour. This darkly hilarious, critically acclaimed production follows Fred, a cloth puppet just trying to live an ordinary life—get a job, find love, be part of society. But with his Puppetry Living Allowance under threat, Fred’s world spirals out of control. How do you hold on to independence when the system pulls the strings?

Leila Navabi’s Relay
26 March
Following her sell-out 2025 run at the Edinburgh Fringe, writer and multi-disciplinary rebel Leila Navabi’s presents Relay.
Taking the audience for an autobiographical whirlwind of a ride; Leila uses punk-rock, stand up and gloriously funny animation to explain how she and her partner attempted to make a baby at home with their gay best friend’s sperm - just months after being told that she was ‘likely infertile’ at 24 years old.
The show will have BSL interpretation
The songs will be captioned on a projected backdrop.

Ledi’r Wyrcws
2 April
It’s 1955, the age of the new NHS, but the workhouse still stands and some of its residents have been prisoners of poverty for more than half a century. Two women from completely different backgrounds come face to face, one carrying tradition and the other hoping to preserve that tradition. But while singing, recording and discussing folk songs, a hidden history is revealed.
