After two sell out shows for Wanstead Fringe 2024
Wanstead Comedy Night returns to Eton Manor RFC with a superb line up of comedians headlined by the brilliant Ben Norris.
BEN NORRIS
The term “circuit legend” is overused, but Norris is one of a handful that have been headlining for more than two decades and rarely departs a stage without leaving it torn to shreds in his wake. A master of the craft, this will be...the most polished stand-up you are likely to see.
GQ Magazine
Don Biswas
A unique performer who mixes political humour with the ups and downs of living with Dyslexia, Asperger's syndrome and Dyspraxia. A phenomenal gag teller with an engaging stage persona.
Vlad Ilich
Won first place at the notorious King of the Gong show at the Comedy Store and received the One to Watch award at the well-established club Up the Creek which earned him the reputation of an outstanding newcomer.

Seen by an audience of over 200 people - during a
5 night run for the Wanstead Fringe Festival 2024 - East London Theatre's production of Miss Julie received brilliant audience reactions before transferring to The Courtyard Theatre, Hoxton for an 11 night run in October. At the end of this month our production is returning to Wanstead
for 3 performances.
Don't miss out!
At The Courtyard, performances attracted wonderful press reviews (see below) and ELTC are now returning to Wanstead to give an opportunity for those that missed out to see this intimate and captivating adaptation of
August Strindberg's brilliant play.

REVIEWS
Miss Julie begins as a flirtatious game between the daughter of a landed Swedish aristocrat and Jean, her father’s, somewhat common, but well-travelled footman. Over the course of a long and sultry Midsummer’s Eve, the game plays out and gradually descends into a shifting battle for survival.
Staged in the round, this energetic, intimate and subtly humorous production of Strindberg's masterpiece engages and entertains audiences in equal measure.
