Jimmy Carr - Rapier Wit   theatre In Oxford
Thursday 18th March: A heady mix of artistic integrity, loyalty and greed has put Jimmy back on the road. If you only see one comedy show this year… what’s the matter with you? Get out more. A ‘rapier’ is the long sword of a gentleman. ‘Rapier wit’ is defined as clever, quick, intelligent humor.
Please note, Jimmy Carr doesn’t have ‘the long sword of a gentleman’ and even if you like him, ‘clever, quick and intelligent’ is a bit of a stretch.
Tickets: £28.00 Times: 8pm

Crush
Friday 9th April: Double Fringe First award winner Paul Charlton’s new play is an acutely observed insight into modern relationships, seducing audiences with sharp humour and digging out the darkness in our fascination with online gambling and socialising.
Sam loves Anna, football and gambling. But when the spark disappears, how much is he prepared to risk in the chase to recapture the thrill? Crush examines a loving but dysfunctional relationship against the backdrop of individual and collective obsessions- storytelling at its best.
