SUMMARY:Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen
DESCRIPTION:I’m 36\, I’m a comedian\, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend… \nFrom the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer comes this blisteringly funny and unnervingly honest dark comedy by Marcelo Dos Santos (Backstairs Billy). \nA perpetually single\, professionally neurotic stand-up finally meets his Mr. Right—and then does absolutely everything wrong. But is Mr. Right all he seems? And how far will this comedian go for the sake of a killer punchline? \nWith razor-sharp wit and aching vulnerability\, Feeling Afraid as if Something Terrible is Going to Happen dives headfirst into modern love\, ego\, and the fine art of self-sabotage. Hilarity and heartbreak collide in a whip-smart\, one-man confessional about intimacy\, insecurity\, and the danger of getting exactly what you think you want. \n“The gag-count is ridiculously high… Catch it\, before everyone else does.” – The Telegraph \n“…funny while being uncomfortably real\, sometimes devastating\, and consistently entertaining.” – Salterton Arts Review \n  \nThere are multiple performances of this show – \nSaturday 14 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 17 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 18 March 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 19 March 2026 7:30pm\nFriday 20 March 2026 6:30pm\nSaturday 21 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 24 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 25 March 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 26 March 2026 7:30pm\nFriday 27 March 2026 6:30pm\nSaturday 28 March 2026 3:00pm\nSaturday 28 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 31 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 1 April 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 2 April 2026 7:30pm

DESCRIPTION:As part of our 3 part series “circus nights” for the first 3 Fridays of March. We strive to give opportunities to emerging circus performers that haven’t yet broken out into the professional performing space yet. The event is run at Altiora in the arts centre and is a “dinner and a show” vibe. Bring in food from the arts centre food trucks\, enjoy the bar while acrobats serve you drinks\, view stunning roving performances pre show and during intermission. The show itself will be stunning and electrifying emerging circus performers. On our last night we’d love to support pride month and support performers a part of the LGBTQ+ community while encouraging audience members to dress up in pride colours\, making the evening a fun\, positive and inclusive show!
