The Newbury Spring Festival are introducing 'The Young Festival Critics' - free tickets in return for reviews! If you're between 16 and 30 and have a keen interest in the arts or journalism, Holly would like to hear from you. She has lots of free tickets to give out in return for festival reviews and the reviewers will be automatically entered into a competition for best review and could win £100. Go to facebook.com/Youngfestivalcritics. Updates on what events are up for review will be put up on Facebook and sent to the registration list. Tickets will be allocated nearer to the festival and it will be first come first served. Gobo Theatre's next show is Having a Laugh on 4th February. Former BBC producer Paul Mayhew-Archer talks about his career in comedy from Mornington Crescent to Dibley. Responsible for much of the most popular British television and radio comedy in the last twenty years, come and hear what it's like to work with Dawn French, Richard Curtis, Stephen Fry and many more. In support are Frimston and Rowett, an up-and-coming comedy duo who, like so many great British double-acts, met whilst studying at Cambridge University. Fresh from great success at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe, this is your chance to see some stars of the future and witness their owl obsession. The show is at the Amey Theatre, Abingdon School, OX14 1DE.
