Clothes. Cats. Counter-culture.

Last chance to enter Hilda’s world at Tom Thumb Theatre - tomorrow (Friday) night.

A 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟star hit at the Edinburgh Fringe it’s returning this August to the Space at Surgeons’ Hall (7–19 August).

‘This nostalgic reflection on everyday life in Sheffield in the post-punk era radiates joy.’ - Kat Masterson
‘You will leave bathed in the warm glow of humanity at its best…’ - The Edinburgh Reporter.

If you love vintage, second-hand treasures and big-hearted, funny storytelling, this one’s for you.

Sheffield, 1989. Meet Hilda: a loveable, eccentric septuagenarian who has spent decades running a second-hand clothes shop- not for profit, but to feed 30 stray cats. When a journalist from The Guardian steps through her door, her extraordinary world begins to unfold…

What was your first live show?

We’ll start.

Grassroots venues don’t just launch artists - they launch audiences too.

Everyone has a first live show. A first small room. A first moment it clicked.

What was yours?

Packed out at Tom Thumb tonight for Michael Akadiri’s preview.

04/06/2026

TONIGHT – LAST 15 TICKETS

Multi‑award‑winning, “politically punchy” (Guardian) Michael Akadiri brings a one‑night‑only preview of his new tour show Don’t Call Me Uncle! to our tiny Margate theatre.

As seen on Comedy Central LIVE, ITV2’s Stand Up Sketch Show and Channel 4’s Stand Up to Cancer, he mixes sharp, observational stand‑up with “hugely entertaining” (Chortle) stories from life as an NHS doctor, husband and dad.

This is the same show heading out on a big 2026/27 tour – catch it up close, here, before the rest of the country. Tickets from £10.

Last 15 seats – book now: link in stories and comments below. Bar open from 6pm.
