"George’s doctor has demanded he must rethink his diet, so his family have banned him from using the kitchen and sent him to the shed. But George simply must keep cooking, and this unstoppable urge leads to inventive creations, innovative solutions and some seriously tasty food... Following sell out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and extensive touring in the UK and beyond, award-winning comedian George Egg presents his unique and utterly absurd comedy show, packed with ingenious live cooking and laugh-out-loud stand-up. Funny and inspiring in equal measure, expect power tools, gardening equipment and office supplies to be re-purposed and abused. Expect laughs. Expect to learn something new. And expect to taste the food at the end (at your own risk!)". Recommended 14+ Stalbridge Hall Presents the Sunset Cafe Stompers Vintage Jazz Group on Saturday 19th February 2022 at 7.30pm. Seating will be 'Cabaret style'. The bar will be open. Tickets are £8 each and are reservable by phoning: 01963 362978. The Sunset Café Stompers music is rooted in the bars and bordellos, the dance halls and the street parades of New Orleans in the 1910s and 20s, and later in the clubs and speakeasies of Chicago and New York, as musicians migrated to the big cities to find work ... maintaining this element of jazz history. They will be playing some great tunes from the likes of Scott Joplin, Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller.
