‘JOE Can dO ME BEttER than I Can dO MySElF’. During his career, Joe has received gold and platinum discs

for his albums and enjoyed sell-out concerts at the Royal

Albert Hall, as well as touring Australia several times.

AND NOw fOr SOMETHINg COMPLETELY DIffErENT AgAIN... As many tickets were soldalot, And many men did laughalot

This theatre did thinkalot, And henceforth brought back Spamalot.

Audiences all around the world have been roaring with

laughter since monty Python’s Spamalot, by Eric Idle and

John Du Prez, won the Tony Award for Best musical in 2005.

Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and

the Knights of the Round Table and features a bevy

(or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings

not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.

The show features the hilarious songs He Is Not Dead Yet,

Knights Of The Round Table, Find Your Grail and of

course the Nation’s Favourite Comedy Song

alWayS lOOk On thE BRIght SIdE OF lIFE.

Alongside Phill Jupitus, the longest-serving member of

Never Mind the Buzzcocks, playwright, performer and actor as

King Arthur are Jodie Prenger, star of Oliver! and TV’s I'd Do

Anything, as the Lady of the Lake and Todd Carty aka Tucker,

expert ice-skater and EastEnders stalwart as Patsy. Don’t

miss your night with the Knights of the Round Table at

the most infectiously funny musical of the millennium.

Roary, the number 1 little race car ‘zooms’ into theatres for the

very first time in a brand new live stage show!

It’s the day of the ‘Champion of Champions’ race at Silver Hatch

and Roary is all set to battle it out with maxi, Cici, and all the

other cars to win the race and lift the trophy!

Farmer Green has created some brand new bio fuel to make sure

this race is the fastest and greenest ever... but hang on... Flash has

his eyes on that fuel for his skateboard and Big Chris seems more

interested in baking a pizza and eating doughnuts than on preparing

the cars for the race! Luckily marsha marshall is on hand to make

sure that everyone will be ready at the track for the big day.

So who will win the race and be crowned the champion? Race

down to New Wimbledon Theatre this June to find out.

performing, Reginald D Hunter has become

one of the UK comedy industry’s best-known

and most distinctive performers. His work is

often brutally honest, frequently controversial

but always meticulously measured and thought

out. He is one of the few performers to have

been nominated for the highly coveted main

Perrier Award in three consecutive years

and has become a well-known face on prime
