Poly Falmouth Falmouth's local theatre, archive, cinema and art gallery. Promoting innovative art and education in Cornwall since 1833.

The Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society aims to promote innovation in the arts and sciences, with particular focus on the county of Cornwall. Established in 1833 to promote the ideas of the men who worked at Perran Foundry near Falmouth, the RCPS still encourages innovation, but now in various disciplines. Currently the board is working hard on re-establishing The Poly as a cultural, historical and scientific hub right in the heart of Falmouth. We can only do this with your continued support, and we hope that many of you consider becoming members of the society to help support our aims and create a wonderful, dynamic and sustainable society and venue for future generations in Cornwall.

🗣️ MARK THOMAS: 40 IN STAND-UP YEARS
📅 Wednesday 2nd December, 8pm

One of our longest-standing alternative comics celebrates four decades onstage!

Expect a taster menu of government and personal mayhem, jokes, rants and a personal state of the nation broadcast as he tries to turn 'what the f*ck is going on' into a cogent hour of stand-up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Once again shooting laughter-laden political bullets from the lip.”
- THE RECS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Mark Thomas is a firebrand of a clown. The energy he brings to the room is infectious…very, very funny.” - CLOWNSTER

⭐⭐⭐⭐“The strong ratio of hard-hitting matter to gag-rich mirth is a feat that makes other stand-up look idling and irrelevant.” - THE TELEGRAPH
