Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write his own outlandish "Black" book--that propels him into the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

The Old Town Hall Comedy Previews are here with a side-splitting line-up of rising stars testing out their brand new material!

Susie McCabe Comedy (Best Scottish Headliner and Best Solo Show in the 2019 Scottish Comedy Awards, and fastest-selling Glasgow Comedy Festival act for three years running) returns with a hilarious work-in-progress show. Revel in McCabe’s raconteur style and razor-sharp punchlines in this hilarious show as she recounts the absurdities of her life; she’s a shambles and never far from disaster. Playing to ever-increasing sold-out shows, and as seen on Have I Got News For You and Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Susie is fast becoming one of the hottest tickets in the UK.


After a sold-out 2023 Fringe, multiple 5 star reviews, nominated for Best Show at the (ISH) Edinburgh Fringe Awards and Best ADHD Show from the Neurodiverse Review Awards, being a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards and 2nd Place in the Funny Women Stage Awar- blah blah blah. You should come see this show. It's funny. And also pretty horrific. But that's the best kind of funny. Unless you get offended by body stuff. Then please. Wow. Maybe not the show for you. Also. Why do you even have a body then?

They have been working with a local dance artist and a visual artist to create a dance piece and artwork for a performance, which will tour to community venues through the year.

This is part of a larger project taking place in 5 Hertfordshire districts. Rehearsals have been taking place at The Old Town Hall and we can't wait to take it out to the community!
