Comic movie star Jennifer Coolidge is best known for performances in films ‘Legally Blonde’, ‘American Pie’ and ‘Best in Show’, Coolidge commands the stage in this outrageous, hilarious and sometimes shockingly funny show.

But Jennifer is only yours for the night, unless you purchase another ticket. ‘Who needs the excitement of 3D – I have double-Ds!’

Time: 8.15pm

Venue: Assembly@ George > Wildman Room

Des Bishop – My dad was nearly James Bond

Des Bishop - My Dad Was Nearly James Bond

Before I was born, my father had another life as an actor with bit parts in ‘Day of the Triffids’ and ‘Zulu’. His biggest claim to fame though was that he was close to getting the role of James Bond. George Lazenby got the part, and we never watched James Bond in our house as it reminded my father of his regrets about leaving that career behind to raise a family.

Time: 8:05pm (1hr)

Venue: Assembly @ George > Edinburgh Suite

Dates: 5th – 29th August (not Mon 16th/23rd)
