Due to popular demand, Plymouth’s favourite (only) comedy walking tour is going back indoors! Join three multi-award winning comedians for an evening of stand-up and silliness as they explore the lighter side of life in Britain’s Ocean City. It’s daft, funny and not to be missed. In 2021, three Plymouth comedians were forced out of work by the pandemic. In an attempt to stay sane and put spicy spuds on the table they banded together to create Plymouth Comedy Tours. A walking tour company with the difference where they took groups around the city, telling jokes rather than facts. Three years on Plymouth Comedy Tours have welcomed over 1000 guests, been given over 150 five-star Tripadvisor reviews and has been featured on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row as a cultural highlight in the city. Now, they have decided to bring the PCT magic indoors! After two sell out shows in November 2024, our three comics will return to the stage at the Barbican Theatre to explore a different side of Plymouth. Laughing at the good, bad and ugly of our underrated seaside city. Discover more about the ‘Real Plymouth’. Find out about life in the city, exploring Plymouth traditions, the way of life and the people who live here. Expect jokes, questionable ‘facts’ and plenty of mentions of the ‘Private Shop’. The three comics involved are Suzy Bennett, David Arnold and Christian Russell-Pollock. All three comics perform nationwide, have won a host of comedy awards and have supported some of the UK’s biggest comedy names. Information Source: Barbican Theatre | eventbrite

The Knowing Body takes a journey through movement, art and music exploring our inner physical rhythms and responses to the body’s impulse to move. It also looks at what happens when we find ourselves instinctively moving to the same collective rhythm, creating large scale artworks, using different medium and parts of the body. The Knowing Body is an interdisciplinary performance art event performed by the Plymouth Performance Art Collective. This work in progress investigates how rhythm plays an integral part within our daily lives individually and collectively, through internal and external influence including instinct and ritual. Long scrolled art works transcribed through the participation and observation of contemporary and improvised movement and dance has been interpreted by the performers creating a wealth of individual and collective movement material. An enquiry into the rhythm of sound and music informs the performers exploring how it can initiate and inspire through play and improvisation creating large scale spontaneous drawings and paintings. There is also the opportunity for audience members to try their hand at some impromptu collective drawing! Following the event the audience are invited to join an informal feedback discussion to meet the artists and find out more about the creative process. Feedback will be gratefully received, informing the future development of The Knowing Body . The Knowing Bod y is devised and directed by visual & dance artist Rosie Allen-Perdikeas.
