FILM: THE SHINING

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so an after-work stroll to the Cameo for a screening of Stanley Kubrick’s iconic horror masterpiece seems like a good way to keep things interesting. Horror cinema is truly built for the big screen and the chance to catch one of the greatest in all its glory is an unmissable opportunity.

COMEDY: JOE LYCETT

Following a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe with the beautifully titled ‘That’s The Way, A-ha A-ha, Joe Lycett’ - the Birmingham born comedian returns north of the border for a show at The Stand in Glasgow. With an alternative approach to ‘camp comedy’ and a razor sharp wit, Lycett is proving to be a popular live performer who backs up his hilarious TV spots on shows such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
