What's Happening in Clapham

Head to our What's On page to see the incredible line-up of theatre, comedy and family & children's shows coming up as part of The Bread & Roses Theatre, like the brand new show from award winning comedian Nathan Cassidy, Bumblebee, billed as having "all the suspense of a Netflix true crime documentary with all the storming, powerful comedy of the only live performer at last year's Edinburgh Fringe."

Small Change is into its last week at the Omnibus Theatre. If the trailer and award winning cast aren't enough to tempt you, stay tuned in to our Breakfast Briefings to find out more about upcoming plays and events at the Omnibus.
