The Junction

Chicago punks Alkaline Trio marry catchy, hook-infested melodies and driving guitars with intelligent and unflinching lyrics.  Since forming in 1996, they have perfected their brand of stomp-along anthems and built a loyal following. They recently released their sixth studio album Agony & Irony, the first single Help Me generating 70,000 plays in a single day on MySpace.

“dark masters of the art of layering sing-along punk rock with pitch black images” Q Magazine

Under 14’s must be accompanied by an adult. Bar open from 7pm.

Laugh your socks off with TWO of the best comedy shows from the 2008 Edinburgh Festival in one fantastic evening of hilarity!

Russell Kane's Gaping Flaws

Edinburgh 2007 was a tub-thumping critical success. Edinburgh 2008 was a sell-out run, garnering an Elizabeth Dukedom of glimmering five star reviews and if. comedy nomination.

Old teacups. Anthony Trollope. My Nan’s gammy hip. Why are British people fond of all things flawed? Why does love grow in the cracks between cold perfection? Maybe it’s a British thing. We bond through moaning. ‘How was your day?’ ‘Cack!’’ How was mine?’ ‘Cack!’ Let’s go to the pub, happiness.

Love. Race. Politics.Class. Strap in for some super-speed sunderings and inconvenient sociology in an hour of self-soiling merriment that will leave you with rickets.

“Russell Kane is an exceptional comedian, his pace is relentless and his material beautifully observed and exquisitely crafted...This is inspiring and brilliant stand-up…perfect”. Chortle.

Simon Brodkin is Lee 'Nelsy' Nelson

Star of Al Murray’s upcoming ITV1 show ‘Multiple Personality Disorder’, BBC3’s ‘The Wall’ and BBC Radio 2's ‘Out To Lunch’; Simon Brodkin brings a full hour of his critically acclaimed character Lee 'Nelsy' Nelson to The Junction.

In this hilarious show, the irrepressible, self-confessed geeza will be taking a break from terrorizing South London to offer his unique take on love, life and havin' a larf. Character comedy at its brilliant best.

“A beautifully balanced act, fresh and exciting, tense and unpredictable but always very, very funny.”. Chortle

Suitable for 16+ only.  Bar open from 7pm.
