Superfan | Stuntman
2025-10-17 19:30 - 21:00 | Corn Exchange, Haddington, Court Street, Haddington, EH41 3DS
He says they made my hands into bombs.
I’m waiting for him to say ‘you don’t have to do this, it’s ok. You don’t have to do this.’
Instead he says, ‘Jump on the spot. You’re shaking. We can’t let them see that you’re shaking.’
Stuntman is a new performance for anyone who has ever enjoyed a violent action movie (but felt a bit weird about it). It is an intensely physical, funny and tender duet by two men who wrestle with their relationship to violence – both onscreen and off.
Fusing the Pow! Biff! and Wallop! of over-the-top stunt fights with personal stories of real encounters with violence from the performers’ lives, Stuntman explores the relationship between violence and masculinity, and the impact this has on our perceptions of men.
A fun and heartfelt show which is silly but caring and asks important questions about violence in action movies and violence in real life, how young men relate to it, and how it makes them feel.
“A gripping, galvanising hour of dance, athleticism and autobiography that might shock, surprise, even seduce.” The Arts Desk

Nik Kershaw exploded onto the UK pop scene in 1984. A string of global hit singles including Wouldn’t It Be Good, The Riddle, and I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me stayed in the UK Singles Chart for 62 weeks, making him the UK’s biggest selling solo artist that year. In 1985, he performed at Live Aid.
After stepping out of the limelight to concentrate on writing and producing, Nik wrote Chesney Hawkes’ The One and Only and collaborated with Elton John, Lulu, Petula Clark, The Hollies, Ronan Keating, Jason Donovan, Let Loose, Sia, Imogen Heap, Gary Barlow and Bonnie Tyler. In 1998, Nik returned to performing and has been crafting critically acclaimed albums ever since. Now, he’s ready to look back with an intimate evening to coincide with the release of his new book.
Expect songs, stories, and silliness from one of the nation’s most loved performers.

Force adversaries to talk and you may achieve peace.
What happens when you lock up a Celtic fan with a Rangers fan on the day of the big match?
Fireworks! That’s What!
Des Dillon delights, entertains and educates on the religious origins of Celtic-Ranger conflict.
Beneath its amusement, this award winning play explores bigotry and ethnic identity on both a microcosmic and macrocosmic scale. Through the lens of the two characters locked in a prison cell, we witness the generational repercussions of Catholic and Protestant strife.
Furthermore the play functions as a broader allegory, addressing bigotry-motivated hate across multiple communities. It extends beyond the immediate conflict, including references to the UK immigration crisis and tensions in Palestine, making it a powerful commentary on the universal nature of prejudice and division.
