Comedian Mark Hagen stops off at the Merlin on Friday 18th November with his critically-acclaimed, nationwide tour, The Red Shed.
The Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy that started with the multi-award winning shows Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.
A story of strikes, fights, dinner ladies and commies. crap beer, great beer, burgers and burger slingers. pickets, placards, friendship, love, history, dreams and above all remembering.
Multi-award winner Mark returns to where he first started to perform; a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour club, to celebrate its 50th birthday. The show will involve the audience (in a nice way) to recreate the shed and its inhabitants. Part theatre, stand up, journalism, activism; it’s the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community in a small wooden shed. Tickets £17, concessions £12.50. Tickets available from www.merlinetheatre.co.uk
Make a night of it and come for a pre-show supper prepared by Events Horizon. Supper will be served one hour before the performance. To book, please contact Keren Hayden at
