Welcome to the new season of entertainment atDorking Halls.

We continue to bring you some of the best comedy acts around, andare very pleased to present another great selection, including twobrilliant comedians who have never played here before.

You will recognise Lee Nelson from his many TV appearances, butwe are also excited about having a date on a rare UK tour by top UScomedian Doug Stanhope. Widely regarded byfellow comedians as one of the best in the

business, Doug’s shockingly uninhibited live shows are famouslycontroversial and not for the faint hearted.

We always try to find new and interesting shows when we can, and Iwould encourage you to check out Time Gentlemen Please, which is afantastic treat for folk music fans in particular. Featuring theaward-winning Demon Barbers, the show blends traditional music anddance with some of the best modern street dancers to produce anexhilarating visual feast.

I look forward to welcoming you to Dorking Halls soon.

Keith Garrow, General Manager.
