To celebrate the International Day for Older People, the Basingstoke & Deane Over 55’s Forum has, once again, organised a Variety Show at Queen Mary’s College, featuring the talents of local artists.
Following his success last year, we are pleased to welcome back Christopher Gee as our compere for the day.
With his unique blend of original, quality, non-offensive comedy material and his uncanny ability to impersonate, he has appeared at many venues, including theatres, hotels, golf clubs, cruise ships, and social clubs.
We have kept the ticket price to £5 which includes tea and cakes at the interval, truly fantastic value for money!
