JLS plus Special Guests, 10 February 2010.
JLS: Oritse, JB, Aston, and Marvin are the most successful group of all time to enter The X Factor; the most popular show on British TV. From the outset it was clear that JLS were not usual X Factor fodder.
They took their X Factor path one step at a time, from auditions to boot camp to the judges' houses right up to the live show knock-out rounds and eventually the final.
It became similarly clear to everyone around JLS that they weren't in this for the short haul.
Jls's support act has been confirmed as Stevie Hoang - for more information see his MySpace page - http://www.myspace.com/steviehoang

Jethro 2010 Tour, 10 February 2010.
Jethro is one of a handful of comics that have achieved national success with relatively little TV exposure. Despite a record number of appearances on the Des O'Connor Show he has never courted the small screen, preferring the rapport of a live audience. His humor is story-based, Jethro side-steps the rapid-fire one-liners for stories with a comic twist. They are often real and quite a number are gathered from visits to his old stomping ground in St Just.
After 35 years in the business, Jethro still packs theatres up and down the country, and is still as mischievous as he was as a child. Jethro... Please don't ever grow up, the world would lose one of the most unique comedy legends ever. If you want to laugh until it hurts, look no further than here, this is the show for you!!

The follow-up to their incredibly successful multi-Platinum album release 'A BEAUTIFUL LIE', 'THIS IS WAR' was produced by Flood (U2, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails), Steve Lillywhite (The Rolling Stones, U2) and Thirty Seconds To Mars. The first single 'Kings and Queens' is out now.

Dave Gorman, 26 February 2010.
SIT DOWN, PEDAL, PEDAL, STOP AND STAND UP.
In 2009, DAVE GORMAN set off on a unique national tour. The intention: to cycle over 1500 miles across Britain in 33 days... with a gig each night. I suppose that explains the title.
But demand for the show has been so high that he's decided to keep performing it... but this time without cycling from venue to venue. He's obviously getting lazy.
So now only the last bit of the title makes sense. But look at it from his point of view. Same show, fewer blisters. What would you do?
Of course from your point of view it doesn't matter because it's not a show about the journey. Dave - whose hit Radio 4 series, GENIUS, started its BBC TWO incarnation on our TV screens in spring 2009 - may be widely acclaimed as the pioneer of documentary comedy but with this show he's gone back to his roots as a straight up, one-man-and-a-mic stand-up whose material is "mercilessly sharp and original." (The Times.)
"Gorman has seen his stock rise to such an extent that he's poised, as never before, to make the leap from cult figure to mainstream phenomenon." Daily Telegraph
"The man is a true genius." The Mirror.

Noddy in Toyland features all the favourite Toy Town characters in 90 minutes of fantastic Noddy fun and is an enchanting introduction to live theatre for three to seven year olds.
