MUSICAL BINGO hosted by Bring & Share Think regular bingo but swap numbers for songs; kind of what your Nan would be doing if she was into Dizzee Rascal, CSS, Blondie and Bruce Springsteen. Eyes down, ears open......
LIVE COMEDY – Backstage Comedy are bringing Crawlers the best crop of comedic talent this side of, well, Kentish Town! From the dry and surreal to the simply side splitting, they’ll be laughs to be had for everyone.
