  • Josie Long: Tender

    • Three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and very-hard-to-pin-down-indie-underdog-nightmare Josie Long is back with a brand new show after a brief hiatus, during which she had a baby and so on.

    The multiple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee returns to the road after five years. A new show about the mind-bending intensity of new motherhood; kindness, gentleness and joy; optimism for the future. Also, some silly voices.

    It’s about the mind-bending intensity of new motherhood, but mostly about kindness, gentleness, and joy – all in all, the edgiest thing you will see this year. The aim is for you to come out of it feeling optimistic about the future, although that is a big ask. At the very least there will be some really silly voices in it, and that’s not nothing.

    This event has been rescheduled from June 2020.

    Our work with young people

    Children and Young People are at the heart of what we do, as audience members, as participants and as thought leaders.

    Through our landmark ART31 project we are working with young people and partners in Kent to create new opportunities through the arts for under 25's across the county.

    Below are some of our current projects focused on the development of young people.

    ART31KENT

    We want to #ChangeKent. How? By creating more artistic events and opportunities for young people. By motivating young people to be creative, and to try art forms they wouldn’t usually think of. By introducing them to new work that they may not have been able to access before. By developing relationships between arts organisations and young people, leading young people to take control and get involved in making decisions.
