This talk will explore some of our early successes and show how the third sector can get involved.

For our September show, we have the internet sensation Troy Hawke headlining, with a host of other comedians soon to be announced! Troy Hawke is an erudite home-schooled 1930s throwback... the Errol Flynn of the high street. Educated, sophisticated, but utterly clueless.
