Big names abound in Bristol this weekend, as comedy royalty Simon Amstell tells jokes at Colston Hall, Jesuits storm Fiddlers Club and artist Carol Peace opens the doors on a huge exhibition, showcasing 25 years of making art in Bristol.
Elsewhere, a moving play that will challenge your views on disability, Up Down Man, opens at the Tobacco Factory on Friday night, and beer-making whizzes Good Chemistry take over Fishponds micropub Snuffy Jack’s on Saturday.
Finally, it’s a great weekend for cinema-lovers: catch the fascinating story of Paa Joe and a spectacular lion-shaped coffin at Afrika Eye Film Festival on Sunday night, or nip over to Cube for a one-off screening of ’70s classic The Day of the Jackal at Watershed.
