On 28 January, we held the inaugural Gresham’s Entertains 2026, as 20 budding performers and Year 12 showman Pullo W took to the stage in support of elderly daycare centre, Sheringham Day Services. On the night, performers demonstrated their remarkable talent in singing, theatre and music, which took the audience by storm. Gresham’s Entertains managed to earn an applaudable £350, all of which will go towards the improvement of Sheringham Day Services.

Performers and crew were warmly commended following a brilliant evening of music and theatre, with individual contributions across the stage, band and backstage.

Among the performers, Ilana B was praised for her excellent rendition of Diggin’ on James Brown, while Kai S impressed with a tremendous performance of The Chicken, alongside his strong work in the band. Stanley W delivered a superb interpretation of Don’t Get Around Much Anymore and made notable contributions throughout the night. Alex H was recognised for high-quality acting in The Spy and Goldilocks’ Agent.

Vocal highlights included Martha L’s magnificent sing-through of No Good Deed, Naomi H-S’s performance of Ain’t No Sunshine and an enchanting rendition of All I Ask by Hennie D and Olivia E.

Tim O’D’s executed Trumpet of Dairwood exceptionally. Benny S showed commendable leadership as lead pianist throughout and performed Night in Tunisia fantastically. Timo F gave a gripping performance of Caravan as lead drummer, and Dylan R captivated the audience with Phoenix Rising.

Acting accolades went to Pullo W for acting and singing across the Spy, Goldilocks’ Agent and Some Enchanted Evening, Austin L and Casimir L-K for persuasive stage work in The Prodigal Son, and Lewis H for a confident portrayal in The Hole.

Behind the scenes, the production was supported by an outstanding backstage and technical team. Will M acted as Stage Manager, George R-L as Senior Crew, Jack S as backstage Camera Operator, Molly P as Technical Director, and Harry L as Assistant Technical Director.

A huge well done goes to Pullo W for organising the successful event and to everyone involved in making this year’s production such a success.
