Comedy legends Cannon and Ball bring their magical, unique brand of humour to The Epstein on Thu 26 March, recreating their most famous routines and hosting an audience Q&A and we round out the month of laughter cabaret style on Sat 28 Mar, as larger than life La Voix: The UK's Funniest Red Head dazzles audiences with her incredible voice, natural wit and hilarious diva impersonations - from Cher to Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey to Liza Minnelli.

There's a treat for dance fans on Tue 17 Mar when Ballet Theatre UK presents one of the greatest ballets of all time, the tragically romantic tale of Giselle - a young girl deceived in love, who is left in judgement of the man who betrayed her. This haunting classic is performed by a full Corps de Ballet of 24 international dancers.
