From a Henry VIII comedy show to a theatre performance celebrating the music of the 1960s, there's plenty to enjoy in Taunton over the next week.

A comedy show by Dom Joly and a tribute to The Shadows are also on the agenda.

Twist & Shout

A musical tribute to the 1960s is heading to Taunton.

Twist & Shout will be performed at Taunton Brewhouse on Friday, September 26, at 7.30pm.

The show features an all-star cast from the West End and promises a journey through the decade, from the British Invasion to the Flower Power era.

Audiences can expect hits from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cilla Black, and more.

The production features 40 songs, bespoke costumes, and aims to capture the spirit of the Swinging Sixties.

Tickets start at £30 and can be purchased at tauntonbrewhouse.co.uk/events/twist-shout.

Into The Shadows

A tribute to The Shadows is set to visit Taunton this weekend.

Into the Shadows will take to the stage at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre on Saturday, September 27, at 7.30pm.

The show will feature early hits from the band, alongside numbers from Cliff Richard's discography.

The Shadows, once the backing band for Cliff Richard, became known for their instrumental track Apache.

The performance is set to last two hours and 35 minutes, including an interval.

Tickets, priced at £22, are subject to a £2.95 fee per transaction if purchased online.

Celebrating 25 years since Trigger Happy TV first aired, the performance will feature Mr Joly's well-known characters and sketches in a 'work-in-progress' show.

A Henry VIII lookalike is coming to Taunton this weekend.

Good King Hal, described as "the UK's number one Henry VIII impersonator", will perform at St Andrew's Church Hall on Saturday, September 27.

The event, titled An Audience with the King, will run from 7.30pm to 10.30pm, with doors opening at 7pm.
