A festive special version of your favourite alternative comedy night…

It’s Christmas 2049. Finlay, the miserly CEO of the hugely profitable Slept On Industries, has refused to pay any of the incredible alternative comedy acts on the latest lineup. That night, he is visited by the ghost of his former sketch comedy partner Joe, who is blowing out candles and rattling chains and all that spooky stuff. Can Joe show Finlay the error of his ways, and convince him Christmas is all about paying alternative comedians lots of money?

There will be laughs. There will be incredible performers trying out new material you’ve never seen before. There will be warm, cozy festive drinks. There will be a character arc in which Finlay learns the true value of Christmas. There won’t be Muppets (we couldn’t afford them).

Cult film night BAR TRASH continues with CELLULOID JAM!, an unofficial celebration of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975).

Lifelong Frankie fans Token Homo and Loose Willis, invite you to their very special Pyjama Party screening of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW in Bar Paragon, launching a blockbuster BAR TRASH season drenched in the cult rock musical’s deviant DNA.

“ROCKY HORROR is a film that’s incredibly close to our queer little hearts, giving both our queer teen selves the momentum we needed to stop dreaming and start being the decadent disasters we have committed our lives to becoming. We’re very excited to experience the film with you as we first discovered it, snuggled up in our PJs, drinking illicit booze stolen from our parents, and hanging out with our confused and questioning friends. ROCKY HORROR changed our lives, and we can’t wait to do the Time Warp again.” LOOSE WILLIS & TOKEN HOMO xxx

Your hosts are bringing serious slumber party vibes to this screening, so feel free to get comfy in your PJs for a night amongst your fellow ‘unconventional conventionists’. Of course, other costume choices are available... ;) For all you virgins (and we know there are some), we’ll have song lyrics on screen and sidetitles projecting the audience part-tic-i-pation track as we celebrate the legendary 8th Street Playhouse LP that taught us so much. Loose Willis and Token Homo might even have a few surprises stuffed in their panties… Free Part-tic-i-pation Bag for everyone on arrival.

See you there…?!

Polite notice: Please do not bring additional props to our show (as you won’t get them past Manny on the door!). We will give you everything you need to throw… Getting dressed up is invited, but not essential. Token Homo can’t sing a note, so absolutely don’t worry if you can’t. We are projecting THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW with subtitles from the best available digital source. The BBFC website warns: “The film embraces the weird, but some sexual content may be unsuitable for children.” So this is definitely 18+ only!!!

Disregarding the orders of the authorities surrounding the building, McClane, who fears nothing (except heights), takes on the villains, armed with one handgun and plenty of chutzpah.

The Parkinsons Project follows climber and teacher, Chris Hamper, as he navigates his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

His Parkinson's diagnosis has forced him to redefine his passion for climbing. His tremor makes tying knots and clipping gear difficult; his lack of dopamine reduces the reward and motivation process, forcing Chris to find new ways to stay inspired. And yet, once he is on the rock, climbing appears to be one of the very few activities that minimise his symptoms.

Now, eight years after his diagnosis, Chris is potentially coming to the end of the “honeymoon” period of his Parkinson’s. This means he could start to see the effects of the disease more acutely, including the impact it may have on his ability to continue climbing. Knowing this, Chris has taken early retirement from teaching to climb as much as possible around his home in Norway and with friends in Sheffield.

With Ken Loach, Roger Waters, Alexei Sayle, Jackie Walker and many more.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with comedy legend Alexei Sayle, the mothers of three jailed Palestine protesters, and the filmmakers.

Don't miss this very special advance screening of THE LAST SHOWGIRL on 10 February, followed by an exclusive Q&A with Pamela Anderson.

When the glittering Las Vegas revue she has headlined for decades announces it will soon close, glamorous showgirl Shelly (Pamela Anderson) must reconcile with the decisions she’s made and the life she has built as she plans her next act whilst also striving to repair the relationship with her daughter (Billie Lourd). With an outstanding ensemble cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song and Kiernan Shipka, THE LAST SHOWGIRL is a joyous tribute to a long-gone Las Vegas – and all the women who made it glitter.

Directed by Gia Coppola and featuring a Golden Globe-nominated performance from Pamela Anderson, who dazzles in the role of a lifetime, this poignant film of resilience, rhinestones and feathers is simply unmissable.
