Your ticket gives you access to all events hosted by Furthest From The Sea at Belper Fringe, on Saturday 3 July. Doors open at 4pm.

​

You'll see all four shows (cheaper than buying individually), be in a really exclusive group of supporters, receive some goodies (maybe a badge, maybe a couple of custard creams!), and really importantly, you'll be helping to support the Festival, and the organisation who put these events together. Look at it this way - that's your very own warm fuzzy glow that you're buying, and you get some fantastic entertainment thrown in!

Nell Gwynne is the classic rags-to-riches story of a woman born into poverty who ended up being the most famous woman of her day. An orange-seller at the theatre, she became its leading comedy actress and then mistress to King Charles II. And she was funny. And how. Samuel Pepys called her “pretty witty Nell”. It’s said the whole world knows Nell Gwynne. Our play tries to show you why. Come and see how we’re getting on!

Words by Graham Hopkins; Songs by Jo Freya; Robb Johnson; Reg Meuross; Lucy Ward; Boff Whalley; and Dave Wilson. Robb Johnson, Winter Wilson and Lucy Ward will be performing their songs live in Belper.

Benny Shakes brings his popular online podcast to Belper, for a very special live edition of "Below the Belt with Benny Shakes": a game show that has comedians trying to perform ordinary tasks with handicapping obstacles to show the challenges faced by those living with disabilities as we laugh at their fumbling.
 

Joining him will be team captains Mark Burkwood and Kate Lovelock.
 

The panel features Colin Etches, Kitty Messalina, Sunny Shine and Cosmic Kat.

A split-bill preview from the hosts of Late Stage Comedy:

John Morris, who also hosts the task-based panel show Larklord, brings you a witty set of satire and observations, while NCF New Act of the Year 2019 Finalist, Kitty Messalina, talks promiscuity, prejudice and polyamory.

Your ticket gives you access to all events hosted by Furthest From The Sea, at Belper Fringe, on Sunday 4 July. Doors open at 1.30pm.

 

You'll have access to the 'Meet The Team' event, see all four shows (cheaper than buying individually), be in a really exclusive group of supporters, receive some goodies (maybe a badge, maybe a couple of custard creams!), and really importantly, you'll be helping to support the Festival, and the organisation who put these events together. Look at it this way - that's your very own warm fuzzy glow that you're buying, and you get some fantastic entertainment thrown in!

The performance of 'Paul's Ball' has had to be postponed, but actor, Paul Broesmith has put together an opportunity to share some stories and knowledge...

An open discussion about the adventures in festival performing, including the planning, the glory and the potential mistakes, you can make along the way.
The session hops through The Lost Boys festival history culminating in the planning and producing of Paul's Ball, their latest festival offering a one man show that comes with it's own unique challenges.

Featuring Paul Broesmith

An informal networking session, intended to introduce the Furthest From The Sea team, various future events, and the opportunities that exist.

​

This could be as a performer, crew, volunteer, supporter, generous benefactor - or anything else! We'd love to see you, and to have a chat about what we're up to, and how we can help each other in various ways.

Artist showcase, introduced and compered by Wesley Mallin.

 

Furthest From The Sea are proud to present a showcase of emerging talent as part of Belper Fringe Festival.

 

The event includes performances from: Benny Shakes, Daron Carey and George Coppen.

A spoken word performance from Rob Stamper, introduced by Paul Broesmith from The Lost Boys.

Rob is a comedic performance poet and performs anywhere where people will not throw things. As well as supporting Les Barker and Elvis McGonagall, Rob launched his first book outside a hardware shop and his third in a chip shop. Just because he could. The world is indeed, his chip pan!

In this amazing new show Rob will take you on a journey where the humble chip meets meteorology, seaside resorts, tourism, beer, Englishmen, fine dining and aliens, with a wassock or two thrown in on the way.

No chips will be harmed during the performance, but the truth could be battered.

Alex Leam takes a panel of comedians and subjects them to an hour of increasingly awkward and stupid questions.

Like that other Question Time, the audience are encouraged to ask questions of the panel, both live at the venue with us and from home.

The hit lockdown panel show has been unlocked and will be heading to Belper for it's first time in front of a live audience.
