The golden age of the Northern straight white male comedian has gone the way of the dinosaurs. How will he adapt if he wants to survive? What next for this Northern Joker?
Announcements
Skerryvore + Rachel Croft – **SOLD OUT**
Skerryvore return to The Crescent in November after a sellout date on their boundary pushing EVO Tour.
Two time winners of the Live Act Of the Year at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards, this eight-piece whip up a pipe and fiddle led dance party like no other!
The Black Lagoons, DENSE + Fat Spatula
A fuzz filled trio of rock’n’roll delights from up and down the A64. Heady garage-punk for all the family brought to you by Trash City. Ace.
The Plastic Palm Trees, Trueman, Small Screen + Joel L-S
A great quartet of York based noise to put a grin on yer mush including the super-smooth styling of The Plastic Palm Trees. Fun.
Paul McArthur’s Kings of Cool
Paul McArthur’s Kings of Cool is a high-quality, eleven-piece band playing a mix of jazz, funk, disco and acid jazz – but with a cool twist.
Steve Mason + Pictish Trail
One of the founding members of The Beta Band, Steve has also recorded under the names of King Biscuit Time and Black Affair and since 2010 has released three acclaimed solo albums under his own name including his latest, ‘About the Light’ in March. A very rare opportunity to catch Steve with his trio in York!
Snapped Ankles – **SOLD OUT**
**This event is now SOLD OUT**
Now settled in fertile east London, Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest. Fight or flight. Primal motorik rhythms, the rush of white noise and post-punk angles; an aural onslaught played out on homemade log synths, electrified guitars and sticks beating hell on taut animal skin.
Abstract Orchestra plays MF DOOM
Abstract Orchestra, the all star hip-hop big band return to The Crescent ahead of their new album, and fresh off their tour with Slum Village.
After their last show which covered the Madvillainy album from start to finish, we’ve got them back in, this time delving deep into the Doom back catalogue. 18 incredible jazz musicians taking on Doom’s classics; featuring MCs Micall Parknsun and Joker Starr.
King Kurt + Snakerattlers
Legendary psychobilly outfit King Kurt come to The Crescent for the first time in November!
Support from fine York garage rock duo Snakerattlers.

Plus it’s Yenz and Moxx’s joint birthday party so it’ll be extra messy! No advance tickets for this one, only £3 on the door before 11pm and £5 after, just like the old days!
