Short Cuts is quickly gaining cult status as Suffolk’s first variety show, why not find out what all the fuss is about and go along to The Cut in Halesworth, on Friday 22^nd January?

Short Cuts will be welcoming special guest ‘Madame Galina New Forces Sweetheart’ - a burly Welsh bloke in a tutu - fresh from his 4th tour entertaining troops in Afghanistan for Combined Services Entertainment. His show has been described by Time Out as ‘the bargain of the week ticket…non-stop belly-ache laughter’. Fans include Joanna Lumley, Madonna and 42 Commando. Clearly not a night to miss!

The evening will also feature the dazzling array of strange and stupendous open-mic talent, with a heady mix of comedy, music, spoken word, live poetry and audience participation. Hosted by Dean Parkin (think Eric Morecambe crossed with Philip Larkin), with jazz and boogie-woogie maestro, Maurice Horhut, at the piano.

Tickets cost £5, and are available from The Cut Box Office on 08456 732123; and food and drink will also be available at The Cut’s café & bar.
