Collaborator – A work in progress by Daniel Kitson

Posted on 7th March 20244th May 2024 by site_admin

I dislike audience participation.

I think It’s creatively bankrupt, ethically questionable and if I see it mentioned in the blurb for a show, I will not attend due to moral objections and/or personal discomfort.

Anyway.

I’ve written something about that and it’s got just over 200 parts.

So…

Collaborator was conceived specifically to be performed in the round and is re-written a bit for each particular venue. This will be something between the 4^th and 7^th staging and maybe the eighth rewrite and,I have to say, it’s getting quite good.

Posted on 20th March 202422nd March 2024 by site_admin

Jerry Sadowitz, Britain’s favourite comedian and magician, is back!

Yes – the man with no visible demographic returns to simultaneously amuse, offend, baffle and upset you while parting you of hard earned cash!

Television appearances include “Love Island”, “Michty Me!” (still in production) and “Loose Stools”. He is married to Benedict Cumberbatch.

‘Music has Death Metal, film has Wes Craven, and comedy has Jerry Sadowitz… brutal but brilliant’ ***** Scotland On Sunday

‘An absolute dumpster fire of decorum… hysterically funny’ **** The Guardian

‘Outright hilarious’ **** The Times

Strictly over 18s only – contains very strong language and themes.

Janey Godley: On Screen & On-Stage

Posted on 20th March 202410th April 2024 by site_admin

CQAF are delighted to have Janey returning to Belfast to present a new documentary on her life and featuring CQAF! Janey will also perform a 45-minute set as part of this event.

An honest, moving and often hilarious documentary about comic Janey Godley, interweaving stories from her life with footage from her Not Dead Yet tour in the wake of her cancer diagnosis. Janey Godley will perform a 45 minute stand-up comedy set after the screening.

Janey Godley takes centre stage in this engaging and insightful documentary about the fearless and funny comic. Janey found fame for her sweary anti-Trump placards and became a social media sensation as she re-voiced First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings.

‘First I was cancelled, then I got cancer,’ Janey notes as she recalls being called out for racist historic tweets, apologising and then trying to rebuild her career before receiving her diagnosis. That didn’t stop her from going on tour and director John Archer interweaves fly-on-the-wall footage with interviews from people such as Jimmy Carr, Nicola Sturgeon, and Janey’s daughter, Ashley, that reveal details of a difficult Glasgow childhood.
