Rich Hall: Chin Music

“Chin Music” has two meanings. One is idle talk. The other is a brushback throw in baseball or cricket to intimidate the batter. Both describe Rich Hall’s comedy. Idle but intimidating. Sharp, quick, splenetic, and sublimely improvisational. If you’ve never seen him, you need to hustle down to your local venue and grab a seat because he never disappoints. Ever. Strictly 14+ (Likely to be swearing and adult content) Tickets: £18* * £2.50 transaction fee applies Please note, wheelchair accessible spaces are not available to book online. Please email or call the box office to book a wheelchair accessible space or for any other access requests/advice: OneRen_boxoffice@renfrewshire.gov.uk Tel: 0300 300 1210

Gaggle

Physical comedy for young audiences with complex additional support needs. Share 3 days and 3 nights with 3 lighthouse keepers. During the day, they work, watch and wait, whatever the weather. At night, the beacon is lit, and that’s when things can get weird, wonderful, and a wee bit wild! Gaggle is a theatre performance featuring physical comedy, circus and live music. It is made for audiences of young people with complex additional support needs (ASN), and their families. From the team who created MESS. We are aware that some of our potential audience members will be fascinated by the pole and will feel a strong desire to climb it. For children who want/need to climb, we can offer them a 20 min Circus Pole workshop session instead, supporting them to climb the pole and play on it. Please contact admin@ tenterhooks.org to arrange this directly. Gaggle is presented by Tenterhooks in association with Beacon Arts Centre ; supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland. tenterhooks.org Age Recommendation: 5years+ Tickets: Adult £10.50/Child £7/Family Ticket £29* *Includes £1 Venue Levy per person
