Bexhill’s Cultural Hub
The Izzard Theatre at Bexhill College is a vibrant cultural hub that offers an unparalleled entertainment experience. Whether you’re a theatre enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, the Izzard Theatre has something for everyone. With a diverse range of shows, from drama and comedy to music and dance, there is always something new and exciting to see.
But the Izzard Theatre isn’t just about entertainment. It is also a valuable resource for the community, providing a platform for local talent and promoting the arts to young people. The theatre hosts workshops, talks and events throughout the year, making it a great place to learn and explore new ideas.
What’s in a Name?
The multi-million pound development, named in honour of local resident and comedian Eddie Izzard, opened in 2013 and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
Principal Karen Hucker said: ‘We are proud to name our new theatre after Eddie who is a role model both nationally and internationally as an entertainer and charity ambassador.’
Eddie said: ‘I am very happy that this new theatre is opening in Bexhill. The fact that it is to be called the Izzard Theatre’ is completely amazing and bonkers at the same time. If my career ever goes backwards, the College has my permission to change the name to the ‘Blizzard Theatre’ and say it was named after Antarctic explorers.’
