From introducing his baby to a horse for the first time, to trying to work out if the GP really did drop them on purpose to test their reflexes, Tender contains poems from the first hundred days of new life and celebrates all of the euphoria, panic and vulnerability that come with it.
Following on from the last two years’ 40-date sellout runs of Wonderful and Wonderful 2.0, he’ll even slip in some non-baby bangers too. Expect more laughter and tears than ever.

Join us for our monthly Classic In The Dome session! This March we are heading to Hollywood... 🎥
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers’ most refined musical returns in a setting that does justice to its sound, movement, and design.
Top Hat is a landmark of classic Hollywood - a film that helped rescue RKO Studios, paired Astaire and Rogers at the height of their powers, and redefined how dance could be filmed for the screen.
This screening presents the film on a flat screen inside Market Hall Plymouth’s Immersive Dome, using its 5,000-speaker sound system to give real presence to Irving Berlin’s score and the precise rhythm of Astaire’s tap work.
The clarity of the audio and the scale of the image bring renewed focus to the choreography, the Art Deco spaces, and the carefully designed costumes.
Screening details
Film starts at 7:00pm
Bar open from 6:00pm - arrive early for a drink before the screening
Relaxed seating on bean bags inside the dome
