PAMMY COMES OF AGE! She’s been dancing and reveling for years already (18 to be precise), but Pams House finally turns a legal partying age herself! We’ve seen the long- running club night bloom through her teenage years, and now celebrates its 18th birthday. Like most 18th birthdays, the party is going to be of epic proportions. Tey’re going one better than the queen and splitting the proceedings into three parts. Te first part is at its old favourite home of the UEA, perhaps for the last time ever, so it’ll be one not to miss. Te date for your diary is Jan 31st at the UEA, with Part 2 scheduled for Saturday 8th March at Wonderland and then the final part is booked at the original home of Pams, in Ipswich) on Saturday 29th March at the Malthouse a.k.a Hollywoods. In the words of the Pams organisers, “No other venue captures the true spirit of Pams House, and with the urge to go back so immense we could not resist an extra night to recapture the energy, atmosphere and unity of the east of England’s most notorious and nuttiest parties!” Te UEA night runs from 9pm-2am and plays out with a line-up including Te Tidy Boys, Kutski, Rob Tissera, Cally Gage, Danny Burch and Ruddaz & Tolous. Tat’s without even mentioning the Phunky Room! Te night is themed, as with every year, and this time you’re being asked to put together your best ‘Life Savers’ costume, however you interpret it. For all the latest details, search ‘Pams House’ on Facebook.
RUSSELL UP A GOOD NIGHT AT
THE THEATRE Tis January at the Teatre Royal, the panto season is continuing... oh yes it is! Tere is still time to catch the festive family spectacular Cinderella which runs through to January 19. Te show follows the traditional story (with a twist) and features an all-star cast, headed by soul diva and former Tree Degree Sheila Ferguson, and Emmerdale and Hollyoaks hunk Matt Milburn. Aimed at all the family, the show features some great performers, stunning sets and a story to warm the heart through the New Year. Meanwhile the ever-popular Russell Kane takes to the stage on January 13. His brand new show promises to feature his spiky brand of observational comedy. Te theme is linked to being small and will feature routines on everything from Nichole Scherzinger to drunken Geordies on holiday in what is sure to be a laughter-packed night out. Expect the twists and turns of the classic thriller Te Perfect Murder on January 20-25. Peter James’ classic novel takes to the stage for the very first time with a strong cast - including popular performer and Norwich Teatre Royal favourite Les Dennis - and follows the breakdown of a couple’s marriage, which ends in murder. Completing the month is the feel-good musical Anything Goes, which runs from January 27 to February 1. Te classic story of star-crossed lovers sailing in luxury across the Atlantic features a host of Cole Porter classics and will be performed by the Norfolk and Norwich Operatic Society in what promises to be a theatrical treat.
BLACKOUT RETURNS Last year, audiences around Norfolk were treated to theatre company, Second Side’s production of ‘Blackout’, and this year, they’re sharing the well- received show once again. Blackout is the true story of a teenager charged with attempted murder who tries to piece together the events in his life that brought him into a secure care unit and threaten to keep him there. In a highly imaginative fusion of scripted dialogue, visual imagery, physicality and live and recorded music, the troubled teenager James wakes to find himself in a police cell, with no memory of how or why he is there. Davey Anderson’s play tells the true story of a young lad whose fight back against the bullies could easily have been the stuff of legend. Except that he chose to fight the bullies on their own terms, finding a role model in Hitler and swapping his own maligned look for a skinhead and braces. Using a constantly creative, visceral and bold blend of live action, movement and music, the central character tells his story of violence, loss and heroism with engaging energy and an honest brutality. Young and old – both adults and teenagers – will be thrilled by this challenging hour of energy and passion. Te show is directed by Warren Cathrine and will be playing select dates at Te Garage on 24th Jan, Sheringham on 28th Feb and the Kings Lynn Arts Centre on 2nd May. For more information, go to

MOUNT YOUR STEED – IT’S TIME TO PONY UP!
From the ashes of TweeOFF promotions, that presented 96 bands (and flippin’ brilliant ones at that) over four years to Norwich’s enthralled public, comes a new musical stallion to gallop into the fray. TweeOFF ceased when the folks behind it called it a day, saying they’d done all they could with it, and left with a battle cry of “death to the beige.” Now, part of TweeOFF introduces a new night to us, namely Pony Up. Tey say, “Pony Up is all about New Noises. Each show will be carefully curated with a view to bringing the best emerging artists to Norwich and providing an exciting new platform for local artists to showcase their talents. Pony Up is an antidote to apathy; we aim to keep ticket prices low and provide an exciting
