From the vantage point of her Platinum Jubilee and final year, we see how this colourful, powerful lady head of state defined the postwar era.

Rob Duncan has found a persona that really resonates with him. Embracing who you are is a powerful thing and after 39 years it has all come together: Rob Duncan is Leather Daddy. It's important to note that the leather community values consent, communication, and respect in all interactions. (from the maker of award-winning shows Legs, Baby Trains & Jeremy Segway). 'Irresistible force' ★★★★ (Scotsman). 'Absurdity at its finest' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Gloriously ridiculous' (ThreeWeeks). 'One of the most bizarre shows that I have ever seen' ★★★★ (...

Life's tough when you literally don't fit in. Pete is the book whose cover you should not judge. Behind the crumpled and ripped dust jacket, is a modern classic. Come let the beat man of Surrey rant his way into your heart. Mark suffers from long-Catholic. He lapsed many moons ago but symptoms keep re-appearing, rather like untreated syphilis. He has been in London for over thirty years on a night out. Various bits of his body have been replaced by doctors, sometimes for the better. He boasts the only wi-fi enabled prostate in the whole of North London. His hobbies are watching telly and wi...
