Join Jenny (vocals & violin), John Harriman (keys), James Sunney (bass) and David Widdicombe (drums) for an evening of candlelit jazz standards, blues and bossa nova.

Jennifer Maslin is a versatile jazz singer and violinist based in Tunbridge Wells, known for her light, warm tone and expressive interpretations. A regular performer across the southeast, she holds residencies on the Pantiles, at the Grapevine Jazz bars in Tenterden and Rye, and last year made her debut at the Rye International Jazz & Blues Festival. Her EP Skylark – a tribute to her transition from classical to jazz – showcases her love of melodic storytelling, improvisation, and the Great American Songbook, and is available on all major streaming platforms.

John Harriman is a jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader known for his highly accomplished jazz, Latin, pop, and rock playing. He has performed widely in the UK and abroad, leading and collaborating in a range of duos, trios, and larger ensembles. He is the founder of the award-winning Cuban jazz-salsa group Heads South, praised for its dynamic live performances and infectious rhythms. Described as “impeccable” by The Times and “dazzling” by The Jazzmann, John’s playing continues to draw critical acclaim for its flair and originality.

James Sunney began his music career at Tswane University of Technology, studying under leading South African jazz musicians including Marc Duby, Kevin Davidson, Johnny Fourie, and Wessel Van Rensburg. After graduating, he performed with artists such as Heinz Winkler, Kresan, Radio Kalahari Orkes, Ettiene Steyn, and Mel Botes. In 2007, he joined top South African band Watershed as their bassist, recording two albums and touring extensively across Europe, the UK, and the US. A regular in jazz ensembles around Johannesburg and Pretoria, James built a strong foundation in jazz and improvisation. Since then he emigrated to Tunbridge Wells and now performs in various jazz ensembles in and around the south east of England.

David Widdicombe has been playing drums since he was a teenager starting off in Youth Orchestras in Kent including tours to Europe and Canada, and performances in the Royal Festival Hall and Albert Hall. He then trained as a piano technician and worked as a concert tuner with Steinway & Sons working with some of the greatest jazz pianists such as Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Julian Joseph and Jason Rebello. He now runs the piano restoration and service department for Steinway UK which gives him more time to play drums. He is a regular performer in venues across Kent and Sussex as well as being a member of award winning function band Groove 101.

A group of local stand up comedians, organising comedy nights, where all the profits go to local charities.
Who are we?
We’re a group of local, Kent-based comedians who first got together on an introduction to StandUp Comedy course based in Tunbridge Wells. Led by our tutor Mike Jubb with his much-missed sister Mags, our diverse group wrote and rehearsed our sets, with everyone pitching in with ideas and encouragement.
We’ve now had several sell-out performances at the Grey Lady venue in The Pantiles. Tunbridge Wells Fringe 2025 gave us an extra night due to demand and was a fundraiser for NSPCC. Our massive gig for the Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre delivered many laughs and over £1000 for this Tunbridge Wells based charity.
Our aim is to give everyone brilliant StandUp comedy nights, while also raising funds for local charities.

Blood Me Up Marjorie
2026-07-12 19:00 - 22:30 | The Grey Lady, 70-72 The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2 5TW, United Kingdom
Come and see the final Edinburgh Fringe preview show for the hit behind-the-scenes murder mystery comedy Blood Me Up Marjorie. This hilarious 50-minute two-hander has wowed audiences in Brighton, Camden and at a number of other venues in the past year. The cast are delighted to be returning to the Grey Lady.

Enjoy laugh-out-loud fun as we see what happens backstage of a murder mystery when the actors’ ages and character ages don’t match? We witness costume malfunctions, food disasters and see the characters coping with murders set in different eras, from Roman times to ‘80s gangster Los Angeles.

“The actors commanded such confidence, and each hilarious scene shines as a comic anecdote. I was blown away by how versatile, daring and precise Aly and Steve were. This is a must-watch – in particular for fans of ‘The Play Goes Wrong Show’.” – Seamus O’Hanlon, Maldon and Burnham Standard
