Crack comedy at Kingston's The Grey Horse

Welcome to the home of Kingston's original and longest running comedy night. 

A night of irresistible improv comedy from some of London's finest players. Kickstart the weekend with a razor-sharp, spontaneous, brand new and never-to-be-seen-again show that will leave you saying, like after ALL the best nights out, "you really had to be there…"

You'll be asked for suggestions which will be turned into unforgettable scenes, characters, and songs, all made up right there on the spot. Had a particularly eventful night out recently? They might just ask you about it… 

Anuvab Pal, Kathryn Mather and Erich McElroy

Missive exhibition at RuptureXIBIT

Missive is a collection of works by collage artist and painter Alex March.

Missive includes new paintings and her 365 project of collages; a collage a day, every day for 2022. These small postcard collages are shown here for the first time together, allowing the artist and the audience to track themes, repetitions and rhythms throughout the year.

March's work draws on classical art history, the Hollywood golden age and the studio nude. Themes of the muse, the goddess, the model and the object of the gaze interweave throughout this year-long endurance project.

Finissage closing drinks 6-8 pm Wednesday 12th April. The exhibition is open on 8/10-12 from 12 - 4 pm & by appointment [email protected]
