After working remotely around the world for the last three years, Mike’s got some pivotal decisions to make. This new show moves beyond his tales from the road in last year’s Mike Blaha: International Joke and into uncharted territory, asking the tough questions — should he move back to the US?

Charlie Katz found true love in a prep-school seminar on Shakespeare’s sonnets — but he let it slip away. Now a chance encounter has given him new hope. Is it ever too late for love? That’s the question posed by this touching and comic solo show, written and performed by Eric Daniel Weiner, the acclaimed six-time Emmy nominee. Touching on mental-health issues such as dissociation, depression and rage, the hero tries to face his own role in his life’s unhappiness. At long last, can he make himself vulnerable enough to experience true joy?

It breaks your heart: an epic tragedy in miniature. Two men, a couple of sacks and a crate — but their plight and their dreams rise before us in pathetic grandeur. Drilling into the heart of the famous John Steinbeck novella, Nigel Miles-Thomas’ simple staging fully evokes its bleak compassion and harsh, unsparing humanity. The story of itinerant farmworkers — clever, thwarted George and big, dumb Lennie — is conjured up: a fleck of individual love and pain in the Dustbowl America of the ’30s.

She’s a professional matchmaker who accidentally set up her college boyfriend with her high-school bully. Sorta like if Ron set up Hermione with Malfoy.

From the creator of Faking It, a five-star, award-winning, Highly Recommended show and Off-West-End hit — featured on BBC, NPR and Off-Broadway.

A spiritual traumedy. A series of mysterious, debilitating seizures and a freak elevator accident send actor Dede Lovejoy on an off-road scavenger hunt for healing. From sound baths to bean diets, this deeply personal solo play traces one woman’s unconventional recovery as she flips the bird to Western medicine and swan-dives into otherworldly remedies to reintegrate body, mind and soul. A mystical post-traumatic fantasia featuring bad choices, safety tips, spirit guides and shamanism — with cameos by polyamory and the patriarchy. Written and performed by Dede Lovejoy (The Wire, The Blacklist, Daredevil: Born Again).

A fantasy based upon fiction, which finds Arthur Conan Doyle tiring of ‘his’ intolerably arrogant Sherlock Holmes and inventing the arch-villain Moriarty to kill him. But Doyle’s dangerous strategy — combined with his passion for raising the spirits of the dead — has rather more surreal and dramatic consequences than he bargained for. A light-hearted, intriguing investigation of what happens when fictional characters take on lives and ambitions of their own, against the wishes of their author. In this wryly humorous one-man tale of murder and mystery, the world’s greatest detective refuses to leave the stage!

The Gypsy That I Was is a spellbinding one-woman tribute to Stevie Nicks at the crossroads of her life — when Fleetwood Mac ruled the world and a solo legend was just beginning to stir.

Through storytelling and the iconic songs of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, we meet the woman behind the shawls: fearless, fractured and ready to fly on her own. Performed by Maddi Fraser.

In this deeply personal and universally relatable piece, Deborah Unger (Gotham, Orange Is the New Black) invites audiences into the lifelong battle — and posthumous reconciliation — with her mother. Blending humour and heartbreak, pathos and poignancy, Unger’s journey explores the unspoken dynamics of mother-daughter relationships. Mom gets to tell her side of the story too, albeit from the grave, transforming the play into a moving meditation on love, understanding and letting go.

In this queer-coded, modern-day witch hunt, Eve — a woman working on the fringe of the mental-health system — has a strange job that blurs the line between hired advocate and spy. Eve prides herself on professionalism, but Meda, her alluringly witchy, enigmatic new client, challenges her entire sense of truth and perception. On a rollercoaster of ethical grey areas and spiritual awakening, Eve finds herself in the fight of her life, questioning loyalty and who gets to judge and shape reality, all in the midst of deep deception.
