Current Shows
Stardust
Tuesdays & Wednesdays 14th February - 18th October incl. 8.15pm Matinee: Wednesday 16th August 2.30pm
Stardust is not just cosmic dust, it is often described as a magical or charismatic feeling, and in the all-new family variety show at the Babbacombe Theatre for the 2023 season, there will be magic with a large dusting of charisma from the 11 stars.
They say too when you get Stardust in your eyes it causes a pleasant dream-like feeling, and the surest way to make a dream come true is to live them, and with this production playing weekly throughout the year, you get to see first-hand, something that, One Way or Another, will bring this show to life with humour & heart, colouring your world!
It takes a great team to organise and orchestrate a successful theatre production, and Stardust will be no exception. What could be very ordinary becomes extraordinary when everyone gets the chance to shine. With the dynamic mix of a great script, combining classic variety from decades past with current and new topics, the cast performing on the Babbacombe boards will be looking to exceed audiences’ expectations throughout the year.

Katie Hopkins
Saturday 4th November 7:30pm
Katie Hopkins is best known as the Apprentice who fired Lord Sugar. She’s bold, she’s brave and she’s bl**dy funny.
Having recently survived traumatic brain surgery, she says she has been given the gift of extra time. Described as fearless by her fans (and a pain in the neck by her father) hers is a story of recovery, redemption and renewal.
Her ‘Love. Laugh. Live.’ show tells stories and anecdotes from throughout her TV and media career, setting the record straight on what was said (and not said) as she lays waste to her critics with the power of laughter.
A trained Economist, Katie was sponsored through Exeter University by the Intelligence Corps and has completed marathons on every continent. Her arm muscles even have their own Instagram page.
Outspoken and opinionated, Katie is the perfect night out if you want to laugh at ‘the insanity of our lefty world . . . while we still can’. She’s not PC but totally LOL.
Watch her mercilessly ridicule everyone from politicians to celebrities in a show dripping with one-liners and acerbic put-downs of the ‘so-called great and good’.
If you’re expecting a night of ‘hate speech’ you’ll be disappointed; this is about loving, about living and, most of all, about laughing.
