🤭 Ben Elton - Authentic Stupidity at Grove Theatre in Dunstable
Saturday 11 January 2025
Time: 19:30
🤭 AS REPORTED IN LUTON NEWS..
Following the huge success of Ben Elton’s critically acclaimed sold-out UK tour in 2019, which marked his return to stand up after a 15-year hiatus, he is visiting theatres all over the UK as part of his huge tour and comes to Dunstable Grove Theatre on 11th January 2025.
▪️AGES: Over 16's only
▪️TIME: Approximately 2 hours long including interval
ABOUT
The world has changed a lot since Ben last toured five years ago - a whole new existential threat has emerged to challenge our very existence: Artificial Intelligence.
Apparently, it’s going to render all human life meaningless, but Ben is here to warn you that AI is not the greatest threat that we face - it’s Authentic Stupidity! Ben said: “The verdict’s in! Humanity is thick! Homo halfwit. The idiot branch of the Ape family! We need signs to tell us to step off escalators, we elect gibbering fools to lead us and now we’ve invented Artificial Intelligence which is actually going to replace us! I’ve spent 45 years in comedy exploring the outer limits of human idiocy and my mission has never been more timely. Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about!”

✏️ FREE EVENT! Urban Sketchers at W&H Peacock Auction House in Bedford January 2025
Saturday 11 January 2025
Time: 10:30 - 12:30
✏️ Urban Sketchers is a global community of sketchers dedicated to the practice of on-location drawing. We share our love for the places where we live and travel—one drawing at a time.
📍 WHERE?
For our first meet up of 2025, we're going to head back to W&H Peacock Auction House at Eastcotts Park on Wallis Way in Bedford. An opportunity to sketch an Aladdin's Cave of goodies during a live auction!
✍️ WHAT TO EXPECT
We're open to all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring your own materials.
Find a spot in the café and sketch an overview of the hall, or get stuck in the action and sketch the crowds and hustle and bustle of the different auction rooms.
💖 ABOUT US
This is a volunteer-led group and is not taught. It's free to join in on any of our sessions.
We are the Bedford chapter of the global organisation https://urbansketchers.org who practice on location, observational drawing
✅️ THE PLAN
▪️Meet: 10.30am outside front entrance
▪️Sketch: 10.30 - 12.30pm
NB, if you're sketching from the café, you need to order food and drink rather than taking up tables for paying customs.
▪️ Throwdown: 12.30pm Outside front entrance
🅿️ PARKING
Free parking on site, but can be busy.
