The Show Fans Deserve

OASIZ
OASIZ 1080 1080 South Swindon Parish Council

OASIZ are one of the UK’s most authentic tribute bands a point proved in 2023 when a short clip of front man Steve performing as Liam went viral on social media with over half a million views. Many fans were convinced the clip was actually of Liam Gallagher himself.

OASIZ are embarking on their third UK tour and this is your chance to see them in top form. The setlist will include all the big hitting career spanning anthems that you would associate with a greatest hits tour.

One not to miss!

Parody of the Rings
Parody of the Rings 2560 2560 South Swindon Parish Council

A Hilarious and Epic Adventure!

What happens when a cinema’s Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong?

At the local cinema, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious evening of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they’re doing.

Will Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?!

It’s a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you’ve ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next, then you’re in for a hilarious treat!

The Kate Bush Experience
The Kate Bush Experience 1091 1091 South Swindon Parish Council

A very rare chance to see the songs of Kate Bush performed live.

With the last live performances in 2014, Kate Bush fans are left wanting more. Her eclectic and experimental musical style, unconventional lyrics and literary themes have made her a unique but rarely seen performer.
The Kate Bush Experience aims to bring you as close as you’re ever likely to get to the legendary artist. Fronted by the very talented Maria Ahearn, The Kate Bush Experience recreates Kate’s songs as they would have been originally performed live.
Feeling Bushed? Revive yourself with a night to remember!
All the songs – all the hits! – Wuthering Heights, Cloudbusting, The Man With a Child in His Eyes, Babooshka, Running Up That Hill and more.
The band also takes you back to classic and original album tracks from throughout Kate’s career. Songs like the energetic James and the Cold Gun, Hammer Horror, Them Heavy People and the beautifully serene Breathing and Don’t Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake. 
The band behind The Kate Bush Experience is a collection of highly experienced, professional musicians who endeavour to recreate the great music and vibe of Ms Bush.

ShakeItUp: The Improvised Shakespeare Show
ShakeItUp: The Improvised Shakespeare Show 1080 1080 South Swindon Parish Council

Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so we thought we would give him a hand… Using his language, your audience suggestions, and our overactive imaginations, ShakeItUp create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage.

Pick your authentic Shakespearean genre: Epic History, Romantic Comedy, or Gruesome Tragedy! Pen your wittiest Shakespearean line for our brave actors to pull from their suitably-Shakespearean breeches when they need a helping hand – the twist? They’ll have no idea what the line will be before they say it!

Then sit back and watch the hilarity unfold in a totally bonkers play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of. Expect big laughs, high drama, and plenty of Bard-based Bedlam!

ShakeItUp Theatre launched The Improvised Shakespeare Show in 2018. Since then they have performed well over 100 totally improvised Shakespeare plays to audiences across the UK, from the Minack Theatre in Cornwall, to London’s The Other Palace, and to the Edinburgh Fringe; even performing internationally in Italy, Poland, and Germany.
