Comedy Night with Russell Kane. Edinburgh Fringe Preview show. Wednesday 14 July @ 8pm. Tickets £10, £12 on the door.

TV stand-up star Russell Kane (Live at the Apollo, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Radio 2’s Out to Lunch) comes to Dartmouth with a preview of his brand new solo show “Smokescreens and Castles”. Russell is a three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and global festival favourite. He loves cheese and anything curried! Don’t miss this rare chance to see one of Britain’s finest young comedians in an intimate venue.

“Russell Kane’s level of ability is amazing….His act combines huge energy and a freak personality with a rapidly delivered torrent of remarks…Here is a performer with the instincts of a rabble rouser” Time Out.  “Many comics feign weirdness, but this is the closest to the real deal: a breathless, raging, feral act…Probably the most exciting comic discovery of the year”

Book early, tickets are more on the door!  See our programme, or website, or contact our Box Office for more details. Tickets from the Box Office or call 01803 839530.

2.  Another week in Dartmouth

3.   Church Fete

A fete worth going to, is what many happy holidaymakers said!  Around £1,700 was raised at Dartmouth's Parish Church Fete  on Wednesday in the Royal Avenue Gardens.  As always the home made cakes stall sold out first! but many bargains were still available amongst the books, bric-a-brac and children's toys.

With bright sunshine it was a perfect place to buy a sandwich and slice of cake for lunch ....

A big thank you to everyone who came along and to all the helpers, especially the table movers and shakers!

4.   Still Walking

Dartmouth Film Society report:
Director: Hirokazu Kore-Eda.  Actors: Hiroshi Abe, Yui Natsukawa.  114minutes.  The Yokoyama family come together to celebrate the memory of their youngest son Junpei, who died fifteen years ago while rescuing a boy from drowning. Over the course of one summer day we follow the family, bound together by love as well as resentments and secrets, as new relatives become acquainted, old stories are retold, food is prepared and an elegant graveside ritual takes place. It is with warmth and gentle humour that we follow the complex dynamics between the equally annoying, lovely and precious characters of the Yokoyama family, all masterfully drawn by Kore-Eda.

Films are screened at The Guildhall, Victoria Road, Dartmouth. The bar is open from 7.30pm and the films start approx. 8pm. Guest tickets are available on the night for £3.50 each from “The Windjammer” Victoria Road between 7.30pm & 7.55pm only. No guest tickets will be sold on the door. To join Dartmouth Film Society, or for more information, call Rob Bird on 01803 835849
