Welcome to the world of synthetic cabaret – the cabaret phenomenon of the 21st century! Join host Brighton Whiteley, his extended family and special guests for a fun-packed evening of music, games and laughs. Featuring:

• Brighton Whiteley, the host. Brighton grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and fought his way into the glamorous world of show business. His development of the synthetic cabaret hour combines the floorshow of cabaret with synthesized renditions of classic songs.
• His father, Brian. Despite Brian’s rough exterior he really has a heart of gold. It’s only his eyes that give away his true age, which can get him in to trouble occasionally…
• His sister, Briony. Briony hit a fork in her life – should she study to be an opera singer or settle down and have a family? One thing if for sure, she’ll jump at any opportunity to get on to the stage.
• His nephew, Bradley. Bradley is 15, learning the guitar and destined to make a career in music – if his mum has anything to do with it, anyway.
• His brother-in-law, Bruce. Briony made Bruce promise to sing a song in the show if Bradley would play one. But Bruce works such long hours, will he even make it to the show before the end?
• His cousin, Boater. Based in the south of England, Boater is that jolly good sort of chap who doesn’t mind a good chat on the phone, especially to his antipodean cousin Brighton. Isn’t technology a splendid thing?
• And then there’s uncle Bartholomew, the maestro of the family. A enigma in black, Bartholomew is Bartholomew. He defies further description.

Songs, video, games and prizes, and the hilarious antics of Brighton’s family – a great night of entertainment with the Brighton Whiteley Synthetic Cabaret Hour.

** The show goes for at least two hours. It’s just the name. **

The Mathy Matt show, featuring Tekno the computer

Mathy Matt and his digital assistant, Tekno the computer, take you on a musical journey through the fascinating world of numbers! Mathy Matt and Tekno use the power of music to tackle some of the tricky concepts in maths, such as:

• Fractions and decimals
• What is Zero
• Positive and negative numbers
• Place value

The songs are informative and educational, with awesome beats and lyrics about maths that stay stuck in your head. Plus great stories about the origins of some of this maths came to be, and some cool tricks to try on your parents!

A little history, a lot of skills and a heap of music add up to make the Mathy Matt show a whole bunch of fun!

Tekno v1.0 show

Mathy Matt is unveiling his new creation – Tekno, the artificial intelligence. Just as Tekno is showing the audience some of the maths he can do, a power surge wipes out his number memory – and there’s no backup! All is not lost though – the audience and Mathy Matt teach Tekno all about numbers, all over again. How do you describe what a number is to someone who doesn’t know anything about them?

Coming soon – Tekno v2.0 show

Mathy Matt and Tekno have just invented a time machine. But there’s a problem – Matt accidentally hits the go button before the date has been entered and disappears somewhere into time! The audience and Tekno visit different mathematicians from history to find Mathy Matt and bring him back to the present.

History’s most beautiful melodies sung in a smooth, suave crooning style. With a focus around the Great American Songbook era of the 20s – 50s, plus some of their past and future influences – songwriters such as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael and George Gershwin, plus Stephen Foster, Burt Bacharach and even the occasional Paul Simon (and even Abba!).
