WORTH A LOOK?: ***1/2
WHEN?: Sunday 27 February, tour runs to 17 April 2022 RUNTIME: 135 minutes (including a 30-minute interval)
We weren’t entirely sure what to expect from this gig but we left wowed by season 2 runner-up Bimini Bon-Boulash (1st picture below).

WHEN?: 25-27/8

One Step Beyond!

Worth a look?: ****
