Woads Presents... Agatha Crusty and The Village Hall Murders Agatha Crusty is a crime novelist. She's also pretty adept at solving crimes. And when her sister-in-law Alice invites her to spend a few days with her in the village of Chortelby, it's not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders which seem directed at members of the All Saints Village Hall committee. From Toby, the Vicar, and Eleanor, Chair of the committee, to Harry Knott the caretaker and identical twins Olivia and Oliver Truscott-Pratt, there are plenty of suspects. And with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, there are plenty of laughs as the murders begin to pile up. But, while packed full of wit and very funny scenes, this is also a genuine murder mystery with an ingenious plot which will tax the little grey cells of the audience at the same time!

(Joe Wells) And your Amazing Headliner Joshua Robertson (Tour Support For Tom Stade and Shaparak Khorsandi As seen on BBC Three and Dave.) Comedian profile Joshua Robertson Biography Joshua is a stand-up comedian, writer and actor living in London. Joshua had a severe motorbike crash when he was 11 years old. He spent 4 months in a coma and now lives with a physical disability. He started performing standup comedy at 19 and has since performed around the world and across the UK, including regular appearances at The London Comedy Store. Joshua has performed 3 one hour shows in the Adelaide Fringe, Brighton Fringe and Camden Fringe, and has been a support act for Tom Stade and Shappi Khorsandi. DAD JOKE, a comedy short which Joshua co-wrote and stars in, was commissioned by the BFI and Film London and premiered at the BFI London Film Festival. Loosely based on Joshua’s life, it sees a disabled comedian performing a make-or-break gig on the night his first child is born. Joshua was selected for the Edinburgh Film Festival’s Talent Lab Connects to develop Dad Joke into a TV series. "Joshua is a great comedic talent, but also completely unapologetic, he gives no fucks, which I love, especially with the awkwardness of other stand-ups. He may not fit the sanitised ‘disabled stand-up’ you’re used to, but actually, that’s vital" (Neurodiverse Review)
