On offer at Orlando's is variety of events that you can enjoy in an intimate setting - although after Felix's last appearance here some might say that's not always a good thing! We think it is though - so long as you don't sit right at the front!

Current listings are shown below.

All events are from 7.30pm onwards. Should we gain a late licence the shows will start later as I know many of you, like me, have children to put to bed and no-one wants to arrive half way through the show! Watch out for more info on our news page or better still sign up to our mailing list so we can keep you up-to-date.

We are no longer including a meal in the ticket price. Feedback shows that many of you didn't realise there was a meal included so we thought it would make it easier all round to ditch this idea!

Tickets are available directly from Orlando's, or by credit card on 0161 881 2230 (no booking fee). A charge of £2 will be made to post your tickets out by registered post. or you can collect them from the bar.

  felix dexter at orlandos chorlton thurs 19th november felix dexter at orlandos chorlton thurs 19th november  

Little more than passable as a stand-up, Dexter is instead an excellent character comic, a talent he uses to great effect in his act.

When he's doing his straight observational comedy, the TV characters made famous by this outstanding entertainer are seamlessly introduced to his stories and that’s when the routine lifts up several divisions.

When these creations melt in with his more personal stories, the result is impressive, as Dexter delivers a quality act that sticks to its distinctive black roots, while being easily accessible to all.
