John Kearns finds another opportunity to bring his new show to The Crescent!
The Varnishing Days is the heart-stopping, glasses-dropping, hard-rocking, wig-shaking, levothyroxine-taking, knee-knocking, boot-licking, justifying, teeth rattling, digressing new show from stand up comedian to the stars John Kearns.

Chameleon & Ouroboros: re:ni b2b Ploy
Chameleon and Ouroboros collaborate once more for a slamming club night. We’re really excited about a b2b between these two incredible rising stars in the scene of leftfield techno: re:ni & Ploy. These two have a rapid slew of releases on respected labels like Hessle, L.I.E.S., Timedance & Ilian Tapes between them, as well as sets at respected institutions like Robert Johnson, Panorama Bar, Phonox and Dekmantel. But it’s when they are together that they are at their very best; electric & eclectic energy, plenty of left turns and an ear for dancefloor destruction.
