Ed Byrne: If I’m Honest
Join stand-up comedian Ed Byrne as he takes a long hard look at himself and tries to decide if he has ANY traits that are worth passing on to his children. Ed has become a household name in recent years, with appearances on some of the UK’s most popular shows, including Live At The Apollo (Host, BBC), Mock The Week (BBC), The Pilgrimage (BBC), Top Gear (BBC) and QI (BBC). In his latest tour, ‘If I’m Honest’, Ed presents a brand-new masterclass in observational comedy. If you’ve enjoyed his many TV appearances, then you’ll love seeing him perform live. Date: Thursday 9 December, 8pm.
Royal Marines: Christmas Spectacular
The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Plymouth make their annual return to the Pavilions, with a concert featuring some of the finest seasonal music. The world-renowned Band will perform Christmas music, military marches, big band hits and popular showstoppers. And the Band’s Corps of Drums will demonstrate the precision, accuracy and musical skills that have made them so famous right across the globe. All in all, it promises to be an evening of spectacular colour and sound. Not to be missed! Date: Saturday 11 December, 7.30pm.
Bill Bailey: EN ROUTE TO NORMAL
He’s been dubbed “The finest stand-up comedian this country has to offer” and you have two chances to see the brilliant Bill Bailey at the Pavilions this festive season. Bill starts his new UK tour with two nights in Plymouth on 12-13 December. His new show, EN ROUTE TO NORMAL, is a welcome return to the live stage in the UK following the global pandemic. In the show, Bill ponders questions such as: How did we get here? How do we find our way through this? And exactly who are we again? Bill also explores other questions that this moment in history has thrown up and tries to see a way through the strange unreality of our new world. Bill is, of course, the reigning Strictly Come Dancing champion, after winning the 2020 Glitter Ball with his professional dance partner, Oti Mabusi. Dates: Sunday 12 December & Monday 13 September, both 8pm.
