SUMMARY:Mr Crispie by Lewis Cook & Vince Stadon - Alma Tavern Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Bristol theatre company Boogie Nachts Theatre returns this September with Mr Crispie. It’s a murderously irreverent farce set in post-war London. \nMr Crispie tells the story of Charles Reginald Ispe\, a fussy bachelor and unremarkable council officer who dreams of etching his name in the annals of infamy as a famous serial killer. Inspired by notorious villains like the Tottenham Throttler and the Madman of Mayfair\, he has planned every detail of the perfect crime. However\, when the chance finally arrives\, he finds that not only has the rug been pulled from beneath him\, but the underlay has come with it too.

SUMMARY:Blaze FM - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:Yo! Listen. Right now it’s Blaze FM. 101.7. You’re locked into the sounds of SHUT DOWN CREW. I need 20 missed calls if you wanna hear this one again. Press play on that. \nThe Big House made their Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut with Blaze FM in 2025\, an explosive piece of political theatre weaving Grime\, Garage\, Drill and Jungle tracks through an electrifying eighty minutes of powerful performance. Now\, Blaze takes the fire from the studio to the road in a 2026 regional tour. \nYou’re locked into Blaze FM – the pirate radio station pioneering new music as a voice to the madness outside\, broadcasting an uncensored political perspective and birthing “the realest music from the next generation”. Blaze FM blasts from a rundown council flat in Hackney\, laying the foundations of Grime\, now one of Britain’s most celebrated subcultures of music. But in the midst of court orders\, DTI signal cuts\, and outright attacks against Black music\, the family fight for their right to exist.
