ADC Theatre: Shows

Footlights presents
Footlights Smokers
Tuesday 31st January - Tuesday 13th March
£7/£6

Footlights bring you the funniest songs, sketches, monologues and stand up in an hour of nonstop, back-to-back fun-filled hilarity. The material is always original and always varied. It can be soft and silly; rude and spikey; wordy and nerdy or a little surreal-whatever the style, it’s always ‘uproariously funny’ (Varsity).

They’ve sold out the ADC Theatre for so many years that we’ve stopped counting, so book early to avoid disappointment!

The Outside Joke presents
G.G.T.H.
Jonny Lennard, Ali Lewis, Pierre Novellie
Wednesday 15th February - Saturday 18th February
Wed £5/£4, Thu-Sat £6/£5

The Outside Joke presents ‘G.G.T.H.’, a brand new, multimedia sketch comedy from the creators of ‘The Mexican Standoff’ (Newnham Old Labs, Lent 2011, **** The Tab). Combining experience from ‘Now, Now’, ‘The Mexican Standoff’, ‘Nonsense’ and the Footlights Pantomime, large joke-merchant Pierre Novellie, tiny pun magnate Ali Lewis, and alabaster raconteur Jonny Lennard team up with director Phil Wang to bring you a mysteriously-titled hour of dark, sexy comedy.

Praise for The Outside Joke:

“quite simply brilliant... even if you hate comedy, you’ll like this” (The Tab)

“a gifted comic company... thoroughly entertaining... an obviously accomplished and greatly enjoyable sketch show from some of the best in Cambridge” (Varsity).

Footlights presents
Footlights Spring Revue 2012: Donors
Tuesday 28th February - Saturday 3rd March
Tue, Wed and Mat £10/£8, Thu-Sat £12/£10

"Wh - wh- where am I? A hospital? Northwestfield Hospital Ward B Room 26? Wh - why?"

Brian's had a terrible accident, and an even more terrible operation. He's been left with a mind that's not quite his own... genetic tissue: a muddled medulla; a patchwork posterior; a hippocampus hodgepodge.

Since dying is boring, and you've seen your own life before, wouldn't it be better if other people's lives flashed before your eyes? Yes. It would be hilarious.

The Footlights' Spring Revue 2012 brings you a comedy sketch show that's "so funny it's inaccurate", say The Association of British Neurologists. 'Donors' promises to flood your brain with laughter-induced endorphins.

Footlights presents
Winner of the Harry Porter Prize
TBA
Wednesday 14th March - Saturday 17th March
Wed £5/£4, Thu-Sat £6/£5

The Cambridge Footlights present the winner of this year’s Harry Porter Prize for a one hour comic play. The prize was set up in 2003 in honour of the late Dr Harry Porter, who served as the Footlights’ Senior Archivist until his death, and was the longest standing member of the Footlights Committee.

Join us to herald the realisation of the latest Porter-winning playwright’s comic vision.
