Nottingham Improv Comedy Troupe MissImp are Celebrating Their Twentieth Birthday

Sun 14 Oct 2018

Improv. Getting up on stage with no script and just the directive to “be funny.” We’d warrant a guess that most people would find their bits instinctively shrivelling at the idea. For the past twenty years, MissImp, a Nottingham comedy troupe, have been showing locals that improv is much more about fun than fear, and have encouraged plenty of folk to step out their comfort zones and onto centre stage...

The History Boys – Thirty Iconic Goals in the History of Nottingham Forest by David Marples

Wed 10 Oct 2018

Stephen Fry once said that he loves Abba because “they’re so much better than they need to be”. Apparently there are nine piano tracks on ‘Dancing Queen’, such was the attention to detail Bjorn and Benny put into the texture and production of their songs.

Paranormal Activity in Nottingham: Haunted Antiques, Thrill Engineers and a Creepy Door in Mapperley

Sat 06 Oct 2018

As with all good ghost stories, it happened on a dark and stormy night in Mapperley. Actually, the weather on the night of Friday 6 June 2018 was fairly standard for that time of year; balmy, with a light breeze rustling through the detritus of shopping receipts and discarded plastic carrier bags from the nearby Aldi. However, in this otherwise unassuming neighbourhood in central Nottingham, something truly strange was afoot; something that would go on to blur the lines between fact and fiction, education and entertainment, and perhaps even the living and the dead.
