Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Bristol Harbour Hotel
Price: £44
Artists
Show of Strength, John Telfer, Kate McNab

Dine with the Cradocks at the new Bristol Harbour Hotel!

Enjoy a three-course dinner created especially by the hotel’s chefs, using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Join Fanny and Johnnie as they sing, namedrop, trade insults, demonstrate dishes, parlez dodgy Français — and summon up a few ghosts.  The 5* hit has toured successfully for several years and featured on BBC’s The Hairy Bikers.

Kate McNab and John Telfer star as Fanny & Johnnie.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Actor, singer & musical director John Telfer is well known from TV’s Bergerac and as Alan Franks, Vicar of Ambridge in The Archers. Jazz singer Kate is well known through her own company The Ministry of Entertainment.

Fanny’s darkest secrets – and a ghost or two – are revealed in this feast of entertainment. Fanny hilariously demonstrates the first two courses with help from the audience, regular bursts of song with Johnnie at the piano, and plenty of laughter.

7pm, £44 plus booking fee. For more info, visit www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fanny-johnnie-cradock-cook-the-great-american-songbook-bristol-harbour-hotel-tickets-36831098808

What a cracking show!  Great idea, superbly realised.  I’m still laughing.
So funny; fantastic music; lovely evening; really like the cabaret style.
