Sunday 5 October - 2 FARSE 2 FUNNY (Eddie Nestor & Robbie Gee) Broadway Theatre, 7.30pm
They made you laugh in The Real McCoy. You saw them shine in Desmond's, The Crouches, EastEnders, Casualty, Pirates of the Caribbean, Yardie- and a dozen shows in between. Now, for the first time in over a decade, Robbie Gee & Eddie Nestor are reuniting - and bringing it home to Catford. It's more than a comedy night. It's a cultural moment.
2 Farse 2 Funny is a one-night-only event packed with iconic sketches, reimagined classics, and a few surprises. Expect sharp wit, belly laughs, and that familiar chemistry that has entertained generations.
Thursday 9 October – IRIE! Dance Theatre - KEHA SEEBII - Broadway Theatre, 7.30pm
In a world that often feels rushed and fragmented, Kehã Seebii offers a moment of stillness — a prayer of love and compassion for ancestors and descendants. Through movement, storytelling, and ritual, the performance honours memory, grief, and hope. A haunting soundscape of drumming, percussion, and voice creates space for reflection and connection. Audiences are invited to journey through shared experiences of loss and remembrance, finding moments of collective healing and the enduring power of the human spirit.
Ryan Calais Cameron, Co-Founder and Artistic Director at Nouveau Riche said:
“SEEN Lewisham is back for its second year, and we’re building on the incredible energy we created in 2024. Last year showed us the true power of bringing together talent, culture, and community - and in 2025, we’re taking it to the next level."
“Our partnership with Lewisham Council is central to this journey - together we’re supporting artists, creating opportunities, and making sure Lewisham’s creativity is not just recognised, but truly seen.”
“As someone who grew up in Catford, it’s an honour to see the borough stepping forward as a cultural hub, alive with Global Majority talent, stories, and creativity.”
“We can’t wait to welcome audiences back for what will be another unforgettable year.”
Councillor Sakina Sheikh, Cabinet Member for Culture, Communities and Sports said:
“It’s so exciting to welcome world-class talent to SEEN Lewisham this year, joining an already outstanding lineup of culturally diverse local and emerging artists. Building on the legacy of last year’s success, this year’s festival promises to bring joy to our community and spotlight our vibrant cultural venues, including the iconic Broadway Catford.
SEEN Lewisham 2025 is set to be bigger, bolder, and even more brilliant. I’m incredibly proud that Lewisham continues to be a place where culture thrives. So, grab your tickets and be part of the celebration!”
