"Avoiding life’s questions to give you the answers." 2nd Wednesday / month at Towner in Eastbourne. 3rd Wednesday / month at Kino-teatr in St Leonards.

St Leonards-on-Sea, England
Last Orders at The Bavard Bar After over 8 years of regular monthly sell out shows at Towner in Eastbourne and Kino-Teatr in St Leonards, creator and host of the Bavard Bar, Mr Tim B’vard, has decided it’s time to hang up his sparkly jacket and take his final bow. Tim’s final shows as MC will be at Towner on 11 June and Kino-Teatr on 18 June. As always there’ll be three fabulous bavarders, captions and audience participation games. But expect the unexpected with some surprise guests and, as always, a whole heap of joyous nonsense. It’ll be quite a party. Come along! 📸 Marky Sparky
