INTO THE SPRING OF THINGS COMING SOON!
THE JUNCTION HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW SEASON LINE-UP – AND IT’S FULL OF RICH PICKINGS It may still feel like winter, but Cambridge Junction has been busy planting seeds of anticipation for spring, with the announcement of its new season! Over the last couple of years, many of us have developed a new-found thirst for quality live entertainment – and the Junction’s latest line-up certainly delivers. For the first time ever, all scheduled shows are brand spanking new – reviving the halls of the Junction with never-before-seen theatre, dance, live art and circus performances. We caught up with Ema Boswood, arts producer at the Junction, to find out her hot picks for the upcoming season. “You won’t want to miss the incredible Dan Daw Show – one of my favourites ever made,” she enthuses. “Big claim I know – but I’m standing by it! Other highlights include a fantastic take on the ‘classical text’ Little Wimmin by Figs in Wigs, and a magical, colourful dance by Pagrav Dance Company, Kattam Katti .” There’s plenty to fill your free time, so get booking tickets now. junction.co.uk
A COLLISION OF COLOURS Transport yourself to Uttarayan, the renowned Gujarati festival, for a celebration of the coming of spring. Catch Kattam Katti from 22 to 23 March at the Junction

Ross Noble’s latest show Humournoid reveals we’re still a long way from creating the ultimate cyber comedian. Instead, his humour is entirely human, with long, tangential episodes that keep you anticipating the punchline until the very end of the show – but boy is it worth the wait.
Known for witty takes on current affairs, Nish Kumar has been heralded as one of the UK’s brightest and best political comics. This month, don’t miss Your Power, Your Control , in which the stand-up takes on the series of unfortunate events of the past two years.
The riotous Reginald will be causing havoc at the Junction with his dangerously funny show Bombe Shuffleur . Dropping brutally honest truth bombs on everything from climate change and mass unemployment to the rise of global fascism, this one’s not for those with a short fuse!
