David Roche, storyteller and comedian from the USA, encourages audiences to ask, "What happened to your face?" His stories reveal that his face is unique, but his experiences and message are universal. His acclaimed, award winning one-man show The Church of 80% Sincerity, has received standing ovations from coast to coast, including at the White House.
“When a person tells a story with tremendous honesty and humour, we all share in the delight of what great theatre is. David Roche can’t be missed!”
Anthony Edwards, actor and director, ER
Caroline Parker, the UK’s favourite deaf diva takes us on an entertaining and emotional roller coaster of signed songs in Signs of a Diva. Performing to a soundtrack of iconic performances from Divas down the decades, Caroline interprets, translates and tells the stories of songs that have touched a generation of music lovers.
"The cracking songs are all achingly embodied, so that every audience member, no matter what their aural status, becomes embroiled in her passionate performance“
