All of the shows are on our whats on pages, so head over there now!
Tickets for most shows are on sale now, Jimmy Carr will go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 1 February.
Our new season is nearly upon us, and the Spring-Summer 2012 brochure is almost ready for you to see!
We will be launching the season on Monday 30 January and tickets for (most) shows will be available from 9am on that very day!
At this very moment in time we can't say too much about the season, but it does promise to be even better than our Autumn-Winter one.
All way can say for now is that we have got a great night of mediumship, brilliant theatre, an evening with a legendary ex-England footballer, sublime musical treats, and a massive top-class arena selling comedian to mention but a few things!
It's going to be amazing, so make sure that you keep watching the website, and our facebook and twitter pages, for all the news on Monday 30 January.
Our View from a Seat is now live on the website.
You can see what the view is like from all of the seats in the auditorium.
All you have to do is hover over the the seats you want to look at on the seating plan, and the picture will show you exactly what it is like to sit in that very seat.
The very clever IT team have been working hard to get this up and running for us, and we hope that you enjoy the new feature and that it will help you decide which seat you would like to sit in when you are booking for your next show!
Winner of ITV 1's Show Me the Funny Patrick Monahan is to headline our January Magners Funhouse Comedy night.
Fresh from launching his brand new DVD, Patrick will be appearing on the Braintree Arts Theatre stage to take the top slot on the bill at our ever popualr monthly comedy night.
If you want your chance to see Patrick on stage, then make sure you book your tickets now!
We've just heard that unfortunately Markus Birdman won't be able to make it to us next Thursday for our regular Magners Funhouse Comedy.
But never fear! Our friends over at Funhouse have managed to get us an equally fantastic headlining act, Irish comedian Paddy Lenox!
Throw anything at this man and he will ping it back at you with a razor wit. An engaging and instantly likeable comic, Paddy combines topical material with observational routines rolled together with his impressive improvisation and banter to give you some great entertainment.
Paddy has been on the comedy circuit for 10 years, touring as warm up act for the likes of Rhod Gilbert, Lucy Porter and Micky Flanagan. Also during that time he has acted in a couple of comedies at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre, as well as appearing on the telly.
