Criptonite The Show!
Wednesday 17 September from 8:15pm to 9:15pm Thursday 18 September from 7pm to 8pm
Bold, cheeky, joyful – and absolutely unforgettable.
Enter the Glimmerverse – a glittering, defiant celebration of disabled brilliance. Criptonite is a fast-paced, high-impact variety show where unapologetic joy and creative fire take centre stage.
Curated by international pole champion Deb Roach and hosted by improv king and chaos wrangler Tom North, this world premiere is bursting with sparkle, sass and serious talent.
Your cast? A dream team of dazzling misfits:
Soulful singer-songwriter Dean Nash
Physical theatre enchantress Sarah Houbolt (with LED hoops!)
Comedy firecrackers Loz Booth and Imaan Hadchiti
And Deb herself – bending time, space, and pole with a crescent moon always watching.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cheer. You might cry (but only glitter tears). And yes – there’s a spaceship. It’s got one song. That’s all we’re saying.
Expect 60 minutes of pole, music, stand-up, movement and unpredictable brilliance. This isn’t just a variety show – it’s an invitation to feel something real and leave a little more lit up than you came in.
Come curious. Leave electric. Two nights only? Better get your seat.
