Funny bones
Award-winning comedian Richard Herring has tackled all kinds of taboo subjects in his time, from religion to the rise of the Nazis. This time around, he’s talking about death and the inevitable meeting we all have lined up with the Grim Reaper, at some point or another. Well, if you can’t beat it, you might as well laugh about it…

I’ve got my beer in the sideboard here
No, I haven’t messed up and kept a title from the week before last by mistake, I’m using it again because beer is extremely important – so much so that we’re featuring another beer-themed event. This time, Andy Hamilton – beer-fancier extraordinaire and author of Brewing Britain: The Quest for the Perfect Pint – will be in town to talk about all aspects of the heavenly liquid. Bookings can be made at any Peterborough Library or Waterstones book shop (price includes a pint of beer!).
