Eric in Downtown Abbey
Eric’s lost his job again and can’t get any work for love nor money. Bev comes to the rescue by finding them work as a valet and cook at Downtown Abbey, a run-down stately home in deepest Staffordshire. The place is run by Lord Trentham as if it’s still 1910 and the below-stairs staff are a motley crew led by Sarson, the Butler, two rather strange footmen, a couple of ladies’ maids and Branston the Chaffeur, who’s in a bit of a pickle.
However, when things start to go missing from the house the new arrivals soon find themselves in trouble. Is Eric guilty of the thefts? Has Bev been able to persuade them she really is a good cook with her veal and chocolate pie? Will there be a load of 60s hits played through the evening? The answers to these questions are ‘maybe’, ‘no’ and ‘yes’ – but not necessarily in that order!

Robbie Cumming: Canal Boat Stories
Robbie Cumming's theatre show has been a sell out across the country. His fun and interactive evening of canal themed escapism has captured the imagination of fans of canals, alternative living and storytelling.
Discover a secret world of winding waterways, leaky locks and canal characters, exploring the canals of England through stories, music, photos, videos and Q&A.
Robbie is known all over for exploring hard to reach canals, overcoming various mishaps and sharing the real side of living on a boat. Canal Boat Diaries is now in its sixth TV series. The vlog-style documentary is all about life on the canals in the South, Midlands and North West, and was the first time a documentary of its kind was shot using a mobile phone as the main camera.
Robbie's show also features some of his iconic music compositions which were recorded onboard his 44 year old narrowboat, 'Naughty Lass'.

This first love feels like the last chance saloon. When Juliet meets Romeo across a crowded dance floor, sparks fly! Hearts race, desperate for resuscitation from a romance defibrillator.
