A Night with Mayor McCa
Wed 15 Sep 8pm @ Upstairs at Three and Ten £6/£5
Legendary Canadian songwriter, cartoonist, and one time mayoral candidate Mayor McCa comes to Brighton!
It's possible that you've never seen a man making music using his feet, his hands, mouth, and various other limbs all at the same time. In full swing Mayor McCa is a tap dancing thicket of instruments that could be harnessed to power a city or might perhaps explode. However, his songs are quirky and heartfelt, ranging from politics to the bible, to oral hygiene. Should McCa have been named mayor of Hamilton, Ontario, he would have renamed it Donut Rock City. After narrowly failing to redesign Hamilton as the donut and rock capital of the world (polling eighth out of twelve), McCa strapped on every instrument he could find and crossed the pond to declare his love for Queen Victoria, and to play as much music as possible in the UK, ideally all at the same time.
McCa has played in Brighton alongside acts such as The Magic Numbers, Feist and the Noisettes. Upstairs at Three and Ten, 10 Steine Street, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1TE

Katy and Rach
Wed 29 Sep 8pm @ Upstairs at Three and Ten £7/£5
You’ve never seen anything like Katy and Rach.
It’s spontaneous theatre. Two award-winning actresses, one story, real characters. One hour. Completely improvised. It’s like watching people fly.
“Laugh-out-loud funny and technically impressive... One to look out for when they return” - The Argus
**** Three Weeks
"The most stunning aspect of this show is that is completely improvised, so you leave the venue arguing with your friend / lover / date, that 'they must have had a script'. Well in short, they don't. I checked backstage. I even went through their bags and there's not a script in sight" - Juice FM Sep 09
"Not only entertaining, but sensitive, realistic and extremely enjoyable! ...Katy and Rach have a wonderful connection and great energy between them. The show left us on a high and you could tell that everyone really enjoyed themselves. [Katy and Rach] never present the same show twice so it's worth seeing more than once! You never know what treats are in store" - Fringe Review May 09 ****
"...In this performance road trip, the pair created something both laugh-out-loud funny and technically impressive. Improv was used artfully to inspire a raw and unpredictable situation comedy...it was an hour very well spent" - The Argus Jan 09Upstairs at Three and Ten, 10 Steine Street, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1TE
