Lawrence Batley Theatre, What's On in January

 With details of upcoming performances for the New Year:

Shows you'll love this month       We hope you had an amazing new year and to help start the year off right (resolutions excluded!) we wanted to share some of the incredible shows that we have coming up this month and beyond that we think you'll love.   For the last minute comedy bookers, we wanted to share that the 'king of live comedy' (The Times), Jason Byrne, has SOLD OUT! We're sorry if you missed out! However, we still have plenty more live comedy coming up this year including Jason Manford, Flo & Joan, Reginald D Hunter, Milton Jones and more!   All shows listed below and more are available on our website, check out our full What's On schedule here.       DANCE   Tue 25 January   Nobody   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Combines spectacular strength and elegance...impossible to look away." - Guardian   In this strikingly visual performance by Motionhouse, we follow seven characters as they negotiate the ever-changing world around them. Fast-moving and highly physical, Nobody combines mesmerising choreography with a unique dance-circus style.   Also watch as the world on stage magically transforms by the use of digital projections and a shape-shifting set that cleverly creates a constantly changing environment where nothing is quite what it seems...       GET INVOLVED   Spring Term   Young Company    Offering a home for our creative young people aged 6-17, this term all our Young Company groups will create their own performance inspired by the themes and ideas of a chosen show from our Spring programme. Visit our website to learn more and to sign up to our spring term.       COMEDY   Thu 13 January   Comedy Cellar    Huddersfield's monthly comedy night is back for 2022!
