CULTURE EDITION
VIRAL COMEDIAN COMES TO CAMBRIDGE Known for his hit series Background Singers , which sparked collaborations with such stars as Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Olly Alexander, along with his viral characters Your Cat and The Millennial, all-round showman Christopher Hall is heading our way with his brand-new stand-up show Pizazz . Once first on the dancefloor and last on the night bus, Christopher is now in his early-mid-30s (a different era from the late-earlys) and reckoning with the life- of-the-party version of himself he used to be. Theatrical, joyous and hilariously self- reflective, this live stage show promises dancing, glamour, storytelling and, of course, plenty of pizazz.

New stand-up experience from Simon Amstell
Following a sell-out five-week London residency earlier this year, award- winning comedian and filmmaker Simon Amstell will bring his critically acclaimed latest stand-up show I Love It Here to Cambridge Corn Exchange on 8 October. At a friend’s beach house just outside Los Angeles, Simon finally finds peace: he is in love, released from the need to perform. But when an invitation arrives from the man who first ignited his teenage desire, that fragile calm is thrown into chaos. What follows is a desperate but hilarious attempt at surrender during a night of overwhelming stimulation – the raw material for
