5, 6, 7, 8, a Steps musical | Upstairs at the Gatehouse | 14-19 August | Times vary | £12/10
Cheesy as fondue? Manufactured pop? Who cares, we loved Steps and can’t wait to stomp along to their hits in this new musical comedy.

A bonkers show about a bear, a burrito and it’s own journey of self discovery.
The Trouble with Scott Capurro | The Bill Murray | 15-17 August | £10/8
To Do List favourite Scott Capurro is life enchancing, provocative and not afraid of dealing with the big issues but with a delightfully dark and camp sense of humour.

Penetrating Europe, or Migrants Have Talent | The Cockpit | Saturday 26 August, 7pm; Sunday 27 August, 5.30pm
An migrant talent show using a combination of real stories and amazing artistic talents, from soulful folk singing to dodgy magic tricks.
