Sallyann Fellowes

BBC Comedy Award nominee and Leicester Square Theatre Comedian of the Year 2023, SallyAnn is a self-diagnosed weirdo. She’s neuro-diverse, utterly mystified by the world she inhabits, and sure as Haribo doesn’t get the human race. She’s the most likely person to fall over nothing or get lost in a toilet.  

Mary O'Connell

Mary has completed a Creator Residency at Baby Cow Productions and then worked there as a Development Producer. She has written for the Emily Attack Show on ITV2 and The Now Show on Radio 4. She supported her comedy hero Tig Notaro during her UK tour and gigs literally all over.

Join artist Mary Yacoob for the opening of her thrilling new show in our gallery. 

Two speakers, two subjects, twenty minutes each. The subject matter is a mystery - the audience finds out when the talk begins! One of our newest events and already a firm favourite. 

Join TL Wiswell for an evening of readings and shadow puppetry to celebrate the launch of her second volume of stage adaptations of the work of HP Lovecraft.

Here comes our next movie night! We're massive film fans and screening movies here at the shop was a dream of ours since we started. Our film night has now been running for nearly six months and works a bit like our book clubs: every film is chosen by someone in the group who came to the previous film. Come join us and enjoy a drink or two from our bar while you're here.

Under the terms of our license we're not permitted to reveal in advance the name of any film we screen - but here are some clues...

It's an American independent sci-fi film from 2001 with multiple characters including The Boy Who Saw A Woman's Breast!

NB This film is rated 15 and there'll be a bar.

A storytelling show with music.

Welcome to the strange and magical world of Bulgarian myth and folklore, a world of dangerous liaisons, seductive dragons, wild men and even wilder women. Dark, beautiful and humorous in turn, these ancient tales surprise and delight, crossing the boundaries of time and space to speak to the heart, mind and soul. Interweaving traditional oral storytelling, evocative music and fascinating folklore, A Spell In Time brings Bulgaria’s extraordinary myths and folk tales to the modern English-speaking world.

Tonight, A Spell In Time will be telling stories from Moni Georgieva Sheehan’s new book, ‘Beyond Nine Forests: Tales of Hidden Bulgaria.’ Exclusive signed copies of the book will be available at the performance.

A Spell In Time is a unique British-Bulgarian storytelling company formed in 1995 by storyteller, Moni Georgieva Sheehan, who is half-Bulgarian, and musician, Ivor Davies. The Company’s work is based on authentic stories translated from old and dialect Bulgarian. A Spell In Time has toured widely and has gained acclaim in the UK and abroad for its passionate and poetic performances.
