Friday – THE HANDSOME FAMILY @Concorde 2

Husband-and-wife duo the Handsome Family has been labeled both alt-country and traditionalist, but truthfully their often-dark music lies in a unique space somewhere in between, blending the sounds of traditional country and bluegrass (and, especially, murder ballads) into a more modern scenery. They return with their new album ‘Unseen’.

Friday – THE MAYDAYS: TONIGHT’S TOP STORY & GUEST IMPROV SUPERSTARS @Komedia

The Maydays will be bringing you a show inspired by newspaper articles cut out by the audience just minutes before curtain time. This is improv without tricks, gimmicks or games, just a live comedic exploration, through scenes and songs, of the secret heart of your city. It is the world only hinted at by your local paper, but finally revealed by the comedic x-ray vision of The Maydays.

7:30 pm

Tickets: £10

Friday/Saturday – Rambert: Ghost Dances plus other works @Theatre Royal

The masterpiece of world famous choreographer Christopher BruceGhost Dances is possibly the most popular work in Rambert’s history. It tells stories of love and compassion, as death – in the form of the iconic “ghosts” – interrupts the daily lives of a series of ordinary people. Created as a response to political oppression in South America, it uses imagery from the Day of the Dead and bewitching traditional songs to create a moving, intensely human work. This revival is the first time it has been seen in the UK since 2003.

7:30 pm

Tickets: £13.90 – £35.40

Saturday – Trans Women Exist – This is Not a debate @Brighton Dome

A performance by theatre and live artist Emma Frankland exploring the ongoing tensions between Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists and Trans (including Non Binary) people.

Some high profile figures are continually provided with a platform from which to express their views about trans lives – particularly trans women – which many people perceive as inflammatory and violent.

In this performance, Emma will respond to this rhetoric and the idea that the very existence of trans women is up for debate.

Saturday – Bridget Christie: Because You Demanded It @Brighton Dome

The people of the UK have voted to leave the EU, even though no-one had a plan for what would happen if it did. If you didn’t want to leave the EU, or you did, but now don’t, because you haven’t got any of the things you were promised, then this is absolutely the show for you. If you did want to leave the EU, and still do, then you will still find it funny, but for different reasons, as you witness the liberal female comedian’s exasperated and despairing meltdown.

8 pm

Sunday – A TRIBUTE TO FLEETWOOD MAC @Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar

Fleetingwood Mac are bringing their amazing Fleetwood Mac tribute to Brighton!

“We are Fleetingwood Mac, a young and exciting new tribute to the legendary band Fleetwood Mac. We didn’t just want to be another tribute band, with tacky wigs and fancy dress outfits. Instead we wanted to bring across the live sound of Fleetwood Mac, with just one guitar, a keyboard, a drum kit, a man on the bass and of course, the vocals!”
