School Rules with Steffen Peddie

Full description

The Christmas school assembly that’s not for kids.

Think back… sitting in rows cross-legged on the parquet floor (only if you went to posh school), the head teacher looming over you, the old lady (usually someone’s musical Gran) sat at the upright piano, the overhead projector, tea towels on your head, one-eyed baby Jesus shoved in a cardboard box with some stale hay… Those were the days.

This immersive event will take you back to all the best bits of the school assembly at Christmas, set in the grand Wood Hall at the Common Room, its walls lined with oak panelling, real fire places, antique book cases and spiralling iron staircases (giving all the Harry Potter Great Hall feels).

But this time you get to grab a space on the bench, get a round in from the bar and let legendary north-east comedian Steffen Peddie take you on a hilarious trip back in time as the school Head Master, chocker-block with singalongs of assembly classics like One More Step Along the World I Go & Sing Hoseanna PLUS Nativity Bangers like Away In A Manger & We Three Kings.

Obviously you can’t round off a back-to-school event without a festive school disco and our 7-piece live band, Electric Clubland, will have you busting out your best Running Man and MC Hammer moves, not forgetting a whole-school rendition of Whigfield’s Saturday Night routine (don’t lie, you still know it off by heart).

Doors: 7PM

Event starts: 7:30PM

So get your Kickers laced up, your Berol Handwriting Pen ready and your PE kit in a Jane Norman carrier bag, cos SCHOOL RULES. IDST.
