Acclaimed live comedy master, Jimeoin brings hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy to the Epstein on Wednesday 17th February. The star of TV’s Sunday Night at Palladium, Live at the Apollo and Royal Variety Performance musters his ever-evolving live show and the most famous eyebrows in comedy.

In his 12th solo stand-up show, Richard Herring examines whether we are can ever hope to be or are meant to be truly content. After years of drifting aimlessly and alone, Richard is now settled down with a wife and a tiny baby. Is he finally happy now? Or does responsibility for the lives of others come with its own terrors? Is there any system that will guarantee us eternal bliss or should we just embrace the fact that life is a vale of tears and our only option is to laugh in its face?  These are the questions the comedian will muse over on Saturday 20 February in Richard Herring- Happy Now?

Prepare for an evening with one of the country’s greatest ever footballers, Gascoigne- The Live Show on Thursday 25th February.

Coming off the back of Paul’s recent hit documentary film Gascoigne, fans will be able to hear the full life story of Gazza in the unique show in his own words, at The Epstein Theatre.
