Stand up in Thetford with Milton Jones
28 February 2026
Milton Jones is an award-winning British comedy virtuoso whose delightfully surreal one-liners and offbeat observations have earned him a devoted cult following. A regular fixture on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, he’s also the creative force behind acclaimed BBC Radio series such as The Very World of Milton Jones and Thanks a Lot, Milton Jones! His razor-sharp wit, absurdist scenarios and impeccably timed puns combine to create a uniquely hilarious experience that leaves audiences howling with laughter long after the final punchline. We’re incredibly lucky to have him headlining our night—tickets will fly off the shelves and sell out fast. Don’t miss your chance to witness Milton’s inimitable genius live on stage!
This fantastic comedy club night will also include the very best from the UK Comedy Circuit. More announcements very soon.

Into the Woods
14 March 2026
🌟 Magic Floor Academy are back and the magic keeps growing! 🌟
After delighting audiences with smash hits like Matilda Jr. and Shrek Jr., our talented young performers are ready to take you on a brand-new adventure with Into the Woods Jr.! You won’t want to miss this enchanting and witty twist on your favourite fairy tales.
🎭 Be careful what you wish for... 🎭Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods Jr. brings to life a “cockeyed fairytale” where wishes, dreams, and consequences collide. Featuring beloved characters like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), and the Witch, this magical retelling of the Brothers Grimm stories is full of heart, humour, and unforgettable songs.
The story follows a baker and his wife, desperate to break a witch’s curse so they can have a child. Their journey intertwines with Cinderella’s wish to attend the King’s festival and Jack’s hope for his cow to give milk — leading them all deep into the mysterious woods, where their fates are forever changed.
With a talented ensemble of young stars, a rich, witty score, and plenty of charm, Into the Woods Jr. is a show that proves growing up can be every bit as magical as the stories we love.
✨ Join Magic Floor Academy as they bring this Tony Award-winning tale to life — full of wonder, laughter, and a touch of the unexpected! ✨
