I Buongustai are feeding our artists again!

We’re really pleased to announce that local independent foodies, I Buongustai, will be serving up a slice of their fantastic Italian Street food to feed our artists on Friday 6th May.

They’ll be launching a new menu too on Thursday 28th April, so head on down to 82 Granby Street to sample some of the food we’ll be tucking into on the 6th! We recommend the Polpettine!

14/48 For Laughs!

14/48 For Laughs sees 4 short comic plays written, rehearsed and staged in just 24 hours as part of Dave’s Leicester Comedy Festival. Hosted by David Morgan (the latest co-host of ITV’s ‘I‘m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here NOW!) with support from a selection of Leicester’s finest stand-ups, the night throws quick fire challenges at our comedians alongside the speedily produced pieces of comic theatre.
“There is nothing like the energy, talent and unbounded creativity of 14/48. There is no other form of theatre that I look forward to more.”

Join us at 8pm on the 17th at The Y Theatre to see the results, and keep an eye out on our twitter feeds @1448leicester @1448uk for some behind the scenes action.
