What’s On in Guildford this October

We will kick off with one of the big guns of comedy as Ardal O’Hanlon takes the stage at G Live on Sunday October 5^th. And the big names keep on coming at G Live as Josh Widdicombe brings his brilliant new show ‘Not My Cup of Tea’ to town on the 8^th. If it’s dance that gets you going then check out the line-up for October 15^th and ‘Return of the Legends’…Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Vincent Simone, Pasha Kovalev and Ian Waite ! Back to comedy on the 19^th and it’s the turn of the remarkably funny Henning Wehn to tickle our collective funny bones with his show ‘Acid When’. For cricket fans Lord Ian Botham and Sir Alastair Cook tell tales from the Ashes and beyond on the 21^st. The pair will be interviewed by Derbyshire and England player Geoff Miller, and we just hope that they are prepared to have the show stolen by this brilliant raconteur! And as if that stellar lineup of talent isn’t enough to get you racing to Guildford, how about Grayson Perry on the 23^rd Milton Jones on the 24^th and Paul Merton and Suki Webster on the 25^th Phew ! Over to our great friends at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre with another packed month of brilliance, starting with Swan Lake on the 6^th and Sleeping Beauty on the 7^th, both by the Imperial Classical Ballet and a full live orchestra. The inimitable Stewart Lee takes the stage from the 9^th to the 11^th before it’s 100% National Treasure, Pam Ayres on the 15^th and the wonderful Ria Lina on the 18^th. From the 21^st to the 25^th of October Belinda Lang and a star-studded cast bring the classic novel Little Women to life…it’s a must-see production, and it will sell-out. The month at the Yvonne Arnaud finishes on an appropriately spooky note, with 2:22 A Ghost Story, starring Stacey Dooley, Kevin Clifton, Shvorne Marks and Grant Kilburn…the show runs from the 27^th of October to November 1^st, what a way to celebrate Hallowe’en ! Guildford is full of stars this October, which ones will you glimpse.
