Lamplight Club – Thomas Truax + Jack Cheshire
Thomas Truax is one of the most imaginative characters on the pop music fringe. Since the year 2000, Thomas has been traveling the world performing with his evolving “band” of bizarre self-made instruments. Back from sell out shows over the years! Joining him is the superb Jack Cheshire! '…a curious, idiosyncratic piece of artful pop. Psychedelic in a very English way, it's a literate return, one imbued with remarkable depth.' Clash '...gorgeous and mind-bending...' Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music (£9)

Ewan McLennan
Nice is Nice are super thrilled to be bringing Ewan McLennan to Sheffield, for the first time in 2 years, "at their favourite intimate venue, Regather."

Best of ShAFF – The Dawn Wall (sold out)
In January, 2015, American rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson captivated the world with their effort to climb the Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000 foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California. The pair lived on the sheer vertical cliff for weeks, igniting a frenzy of global media attention. But for Tommy Caldwell, the Dawn Wall was much more than just a climb. It was the culmination of a lifetime defined by overcoming obstacles. At the age of 22, the climbing prodigy was taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan. Shortly after, he lost his index finger in an accident, but resolved to come back stronger. When his marriage fell apart, he escaped the pain by fixating on the extraordinary goal of free climbing the Dawn Wall. Blurring the line between dedication and obsession, Caldwell and his partner Jorgeson spend six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route. On the final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell is faced with a moment of truth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk his own success for the sake of their friendship?

FLIM NITE presents SHREK (Sheffield)
What would ‘Shrek’ look like chewed up and spat out by comedians, theatremakers, writers and musicians?
We’ve travelled to the furthest swamps to dredge up our artists and cursed them all to make performance art in order to break the curse. Come along and watch the magical results!
Watch as our acts distort a 3D animated fairy tale parody into something ridiculous, beautiful or unrecognisable for your viewing pleasure. We have entrusted each one of them with a chunk of the film to re-enact, riff around, mash up or explode. There’s no way of telling what will happen.
Cult hit FLIM NITE comes to Sheffield for the fifth time to spread its unique brand of mischief after four years of sowing highly-acclaimed chaos in Manchester.
We will not be showing a movie. We will be making a FLIM.
Regather Comedy Club – Bilal Zafar
It's the Christmas month! A scary month! All foliage has died, and comedy withers under the collective pressure of harsh weather and a money conscious public with heads full of orphans staring through shop window condensation at hobby horses. Will Regather Comedy Club prevail against the odds? Will our champion spirit see us through? Let's hope for a Christmas miracle. This month we are joined by BILAL ZAFAR
