About this event

ANDY ZALTZMAN work in progress is on Sunday 6 December 2026 at Walthamstow Trades Hall, London, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £16.50, including the booking fee.

Andy Zaltzman – host of The News Quiz and The Bugle podcast, statistician on Test Match Special, Taskmaster series 18 champion – returns with his stand-up review of the global year, for the first time this decade. In this work in progress show, Andy will attempt to harness the powers of modern and ancient technologies to find shards of genuine hope amongst the cavalcade of cantankerousness, before 2026 is certifiably consigned to the history books, where it emphatically belongs.

Red Imp & Rock N Roll Book club present "Wonderin' Y: How SLADE's drummer survived

Walthamstow Trades Hall · London

Wonderin' Y: How Slade's Drummer Survived In the summer of 1973 at the height of his fame, Slade’s drummer Don Powell was involved in a devastating car accident, leaving him with brain injury that resulted in severe and lasting memory loss. Award winning writer and performer Ian Pearce collaborated with Don to recreate the emotional journey to recovery in this gripping and emotional one man show. Imagine being on stage in front of thousands of people in the US and you can't remember your number one hit Cum On Feel the Noize ! Don Powell will appear in person at Trades Hall, with Ian to discuss the events and to take questions from the audience. This is a unique opportunity for all classic rock fans to experience a truthful performance and join in the conversation with the legendary drummer himself. Ian Pearce has achieved a remarkable success. This could so easily be a tragic show, but instead, we experience hope, determination and, ultimately loud, ferocious and beating revival. Richard Cox . August 2024. Edinburgh.

Get to see acts do great things with the artform itself, rather than quizzing you about where you live and work like a deranged meet-up group. Hosted by Ed Mulvey, described as a “first-rate joke writer... clearly possesses rare ability” (The Scotsman), sit back and enjoy the comedy rocketing into your sensibilities like a gun made of ideas. This event is in the upstairs bar."
