Beatles Complete - A Tribute to the Fab Four
DIRECT FROM THE WORLD FAMOUS CAVERN CLUB, LIVERPOOL
Beatles Complete return to Nottingham Arts Theatre
for another night of Beatlemania.
Having now performed over 250 shows at the world-famous
Cavern Club in Liverpool, Beatles Complete remain the youngest ever Beatles band to gain a residency at the
Cavern Club where they still perform every Thursday, packing the club out and
creating a unique Beatles vibe. Aged between 18 and 22 Beatles Complete
are the closest thing you will get to the unbridled joy of seeing the Beatles
when they first lit up the world. Whilst they can’t promise all the screaming
and tears from the 60’s, they can give you a host of classic songs brilliantly
performed by a band of accomplished multi-instrumentalists, spanning right
across The Beatles’ recording history, from Please Please Me right
through to Let It Be.
Having performed at International Beatle Week for the last 4
years running, the lads have been invited to return again for 2025 and are also
taking their extended show to theatres across the UK. The band has also
appeared on the BBC and on TV in Japan and The Netherlands and in the recent
Beatles documentary ‘No Hamburg – No Beatles’.
This is a night not to be missed for all Beatles fans. The
Beatles were a phenomenon in musical history, Beatles Complete remind
you why.

Jessica Fostekew: Iconic Breath
A monster’s guide to tolerance and temperance. Jess can feel herself becoming an emotional wildebeest right when her world (and the whole world, thanks) demands cool, collected ultra detached saint-like kindness and understanding. S**t.
She goes digging around in her DNA for answers and finds so many beautiful horrors. Witness her effort to become a brand new, mythical, mystical ‘coper.’ OR NOT. She gets cancelled, she gets touched and she gets a dolphin-based epiphany all in one show. The silliest of comedy for the scariest of days from Edinburgh Best Show Award Nominee.
You’ve seen Jess on BBC’s QI, Live at the Apollo, Celebrity University Challenge and Richard Osman’s House of Games. From Travel Man on C4 and World’s Most Dangerous Roads on Dave. You know her from her two BBC R4 series of Sturdy Girl Club plus podcasts The Guilty Feminist and Hoovering. And, of course, from new mighty smash hit Gladiator’s fan-podcast Contender Ready which Jess co-hosts with Olympic weightlifting superstar, Emily Campbell.

the identity of the killer remains a mystery. Until now..?
It’s the greatest unsolved case in criminal history. One that continues to confuse and confound.
Generating argument, debate and a host of different theories.

What was his motive?
And how did he get away with it?
Was he a doctor, a sailor, a soldier or some kind of religious zealot intent on ridding the streets of
vice?
An Evening with Jack the Ripper will delve into the sordid realms of Victorian London in an
attempt to finally unmask the man, with the blackest of hearts, who preyed upon the most
vulnerable members of society.

Now he has adapted the story for the stage and invites you to spend an evening in the company of
Jack the Ripper and live to tell the tale.
