Her boundless curiosity takes a live audience on a serendipitous journey. There is a real life baddie, a saviour in the shape of a Bollywood financier, the most expensive wedding to have ever taken place, a Celebrity Big Brother contestant, forensic crime scene investigations and hair, lots of hair. It's 'pay what you can', options ranging from £2–£10.

EXHIBITION

100 Small Paintings: Garry Raymond-Pereira

Mandells Gallery, Elm Hill, Norwich, until August 6, Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, admission free, 01603 626892, www.mandellsgallery.co.uk

Garry Raymond-Pereira is a Norwich-based painter whose land and seascapes are at once realistic representations of scenery instantly full of atmosphere, powerful and often moody. He has for a long time been inspired by waves and dunes along the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, an area he has a strong connection with. This latest show is — as the title suggests — an exhibition of 100 small paintings, along with a number of larger pieces. His paintings usually begin with a location that offers him a dialogue. 'It has been, for a long time now, the crashing waves of my home county of Norfolk or my spiritual homes in bleak mountainous areas of Scotland, Wales or out of season Lake District,' he says.
