John Kearns: The Varnishing Days
Tickets: £20.50
Some comedians use very strong language and express controversial opinions. Please come prepared.

Go silent as I walk on! Acknowledge when something funny happens! Leave discussing dinner plans! Others will be implicated. Points will be circled and missed.
