As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.

How did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?

Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact and influence on poets, musicians and writers, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.

Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies, this pacy, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland and back to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again.

Running time: 2 h approx (including interval)

Reviews:

“Sinatra Jukebox is one clever show. Besides performing some of the absolute copper-bottomed Sinatra hits we get a glimpse of two hugely skilled performers working with their audience to create a very special and absolute unique evening. If this is any kind of tribute show it is a tribute to the skills of two very remarkable entertainers!” Stewart Collins, Artistic Director Henley Festival

"Sinatra would have approved and you could almost believe he was there as Gary Williams and Harry the Piano celebrated his 100th birthday with 100 songs from which the audience selected their favourites. It is no wonder then that the delighted audience rose to its feet and demanded more." Cabaret Scenes
