📅 Thursday 2nd October

An evening of honest Tuscan cooking, part of .

The kind that warms the heart and fills the table. For just £35 per person, enjoy 3 hearty courses, each with a perfectly paired glass of Tuscan wine.

Start with rich chicken liver & smoked bacon pâté, toasted bread, and cured meats, just like a Tuscan farmhouse table.

Gather round for tender dry aged ribeye steak on a bed of peppery rocket with balsamic vinegar, parmesan, and rosemary potatoes. Rustic, simple, and full of flavour.

Three courses, three wines, one evening to remember.

THIS IS NO TIME TO PANIC! 🚨 a new show by at as a part of October Unpacked. 🎸🎭

Like protest songs? Neither does Grace Petrie - and she's been singing them for 15 politically disastrous years. No longer able to meet the deadened eyes or desperate hopes of leftwing audiences, she reckons there's no better time for a feel-good show! Depressed by fascism, misogyny and eco-destruction? Sounds like YOUR climate needs a change!

Long respected as the British folk scene’s funniest le***an, Grace’s 2022 standup debut Butch Ado About Nothing garnered critical acclaim and sold out venues across the UK.

🎟️ Komedia Brighton, Weds 1st October.
