This well loved dynamic duo of Kate McNab and Kim Hicks are putting on a theatrical show at Bristol 1904 Arts that vignettes an array of the many characters from their hugely popular touring productions. Both hail from a past in the Bristol Old Vic. They tell tales and recreate scenes from a bygone era. As a flavour of what to expect, here is an extract from the Axbridge Theatre Review July 2024:
Kate McNab and Kim Hicks create an evening of cosy nostalgia in Beryl’s Day Out set in a very different Bristol Zoo of 1962. A full house enjoyed Kate McNab and Kim Hicks’ series of anecdotes, sketches and jokes from that year which many in the audience like me could remember while others simply lapped up the nostalgia. Written by Kate McNab and Paul Crossthwaite the two hander takes real memories and stories from the time as its basis with Beryl’s circular tour of the Zoological Gardens in Clifton as the narrative structure. We hear from a variety of characters including Sister O’Blimey with her lavatorial notes, the zookeeper mucking out the animals, the Great Mephlsto (I think that was his name) and Scarlet O’Mara vying for a slot on TV’s Animal Magic, and the urban myth about the dodgy carpark attendant on the Downs who wasn’t employed by anyone but pocketed all those florins as visitors parked their Zephyr Zodiacs and Austin A30s. Kate McNab played the titular role of Beryl complete with an unfeasibly lavish black beehive wig while Kim Hicks filled in most of the supporting cast with quick costume changes. There was so many stories and jokes, but the highlights were the songs – The Sunny Side of the Street, Never Smile at a Crocodile, I Only Have Eyes for You and What A Difference A Day Makes. With Kate’s rich dark vocals like a coffee desert from a box of Good News chocolates, her sense of timing and movement on stage, she remains a class act with a string of theatrical hits behind her with Bristol’s Ministry of Entertainment company. Versatile is the best word to describe Kim as at times I thought there was a third actor as her commitment to each new character created such contrast to the last. This is one show you will enjoy … for one night only at Bristol 1904 Arts. Don't miss it !!!

Loved every aspect of this museum. Firstly, it doesn&#39;t feel like just one museum. There is an actual SS Great Britain exhibition, with so much to learn about the ship, before even stepping foot on it.&nbsp;
