Thursday 26th May
MOSHI MOSHI: THE BURNING HELL (Plus support from Girl Ray)
7.30pm, SOLD OUT

The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of Canadian songwriter Mathias Kom, and the band has been on the road in one form or another since 2007, playing everywhere from festivals like Glastonbury and Dawson City to bars, living rooms, abandoned bunkers, and a mental asylum in rural France. Musically, The Burning Hell runs the gamut from introspective folk to hyperactive rock and roll, and so the band can adapt to its surroundings like a karma of anthropomorphic chameleons, taking the audience on a supermarket-cart ride through hooky, upbeat pop songs, dark ballads about pet euthanasia, and anthems for barbarians, economic conferences, and love. The Burning Hell will release Public Library, a new album of distorted story-songs, in April 2016, and they'll spend the better part of the spring and summer in their natural habitat: the tour van.

VINCENT GAMBINI 'THIS IS NOT A MAGIC SHOW'

7.30pm, £10

This is not a magic show is a performance of and about sleight-of-hand magic: its invisible mechanics, its clichés, and what it tells us about live theatre and make-believe. In a conversational yet crafted approach, Vincent Gambini presents astonishing close-up magic that invites us to question how enchantment and wonder are produced within a theatrical situation. 

Possibly the first of its kind, Vincent Gambini's This is not a magic show is part performance-lecture, part deconstructed showbiz, and part magic tricks that leave you, like, omg.
