Psychic’ performances are everywhere these days – with people who claim the ability to communicate with the dead performing in everywhere from theatres, to home visits, and on television. What, however, for those who are interested in the idea of these ‘psychic’ shows, but are sceptics? Or would like to see how much ‘psychic’ phenomena can easily be faked?
That is why magician, escapologist and comedy performer Greg Chapman created his ‘The Non-Psychic ‘Psychic’ Show’ and he is very excited to bring the show to the Athenaeum, using the full range of magic, escapology, mentalism and other performance skills, he takes the audience through a ninety-minute exploration of sometimes or often fraudulent mediums, from the Victorian Seances to some techniques used by a number of modern ‘psychics’, but all clearly presented as trickery – and without any attempt or illusion of talking to people’s “dead relatives”.
This show is fun and thought-provoking. Although the show takes no stand on whether it is actually possible to communicate with the dead – many self-professed psychics have told Greg how much they enjoy the show, and how it can only help genuine psychics for people to be aware of the possibility of sometimes or often fraudulent techniques. The show focus on some of the ways that the appearance of such communications can be made through trickery, in a way that is entertaining, interesting, and at times downright funny!

This hilarious, must-see adult comedy by Sandi Toksvig is set on one dark and stormy night in the upper day room of the Silver Retirement Home. Five elderly women are trading stories of their remarkable (or sometimes unremarkable) lives when storm floods rise with no rescue team in sight. The ladies are faced with the sudden realisation that in order to survive they are going to have to do what they have done for their entire lives – do it themselves!
It’s The Great Escape – senior-citizen style.
This Sandi Toksvig comic masterpiece is packed with plenty of her usual warm wit and charm…. as well as the odd sex toy!!
Co-Directed by Adela Forestier-Walker and Zeya Thomas
With one very experienced ALPs director (Adela) whose experience goes back long enough to make her well aware of the perils of being a very senior citizen, coupled with Zeya’s equally impressive experience of
professional theatre combined with more youthful energy and enthusiasm, the actors and creatives of this production are in good hands – and our audiences can be sure of seeing a hilarious version of Sandi Toksvig’s play.

This top tribute show is more than just a tribute – they are the complete package! With their perfect combination of brilliant musicianship and tongue in cheek humour, they have had rave reviews throughout the UK. Playing the country-rock songs of the 1980s supergroup ‘The Travelling Wilburys’, the band also steal some choice numbers from the back catalogue of each of its five iconic members; Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne.
Born out of the ashes of the popular Beatles tribute band Sgt Pepper’s Only Dart Board Band, the fabulous UNRAVELLING WILBURYS are made up of Sticky Willy, Walter, Thumper, Blind Melon and Honky Tonk Wilbury, the “real” Wilbury brothers, who present their own unique slant on what it means to be a tribute band. The show tells the story of the fateful night in Nashville’s Tootsies Bar in 1987, when their songs were (allegedly) stolen by Messrs Orbison & Co. and the hard road they had to tread to get ‘em back.
Songs such as ‘End of the Line’, ‘Handle with Care’, ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’, and ‘Tweeter and The Monkey Man’ form the basis of the set, which also features additional choice cuts including ‘Pretty Woman’ (Orbison), ‘Mr Blue Sky’ (Lynne), ‘American Girl’ (Petty), ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ (Harrison), and ‘A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall’ (Dylan). With music for everyone to enjoy, this is an evening not to be missed. A fabulous night out for lovers of great music.
All tickets £20
