The Utterly Fabricated History of the World

Date: Sunday 31st August 2025

Time: 7.30pm

Tickets: £13.50*

 

 

A new radio style comedy sketch show about things that didn’t happen in History.

 

This show asks all the big questions such as: Did Saint George fight a duck? Did Jane Austen swear like a docker? Did Lenin fund the revolution with a raffle?

 

Local Comedy writers Richard Melchior & Greg Powles walk the audience through the entire history of western civilisation leaving large gaps and in no particular order.

 

The show is staged by acclaimed Suffolk based Company Raconteur working with their troupe of local actors. There is also a song at the beginning, in case that tips the balance.

 

Diss As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.

 

We want to make your visit to The Corn Hall as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, so we have provided you with detailed information regarding accessibility in all areas of the theatre.
