The Barn Theatre in Cirencester have linked up with mountaineer and adventurer Kenton Cool for a series of live streamed entertainment.

The weekly show, hosted by Kenton Cool and Barn Theatre artistic director Iwan Lewis, will feature discussions on climbing, sports, hot topics and stories from Cool’s many expeditions.

The first thirty-minute episode will launch on the Barn Theatre’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter channels today at 6pm.

Kenton Cool, who lives in Gloucestershire, holds the British record for the most climbs to the summit of Mount Everest and, in 2013, became the first person to climb Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse in a single push without returning to base camp.

Iwan Lewis said: “Kenton has been a friend of The Barn for a while now.

"We hope via our online streaming service to keep people connected and help maintain that community spirit.

"So far we have had guests like Daisy Cooper from This Country and Helena Bonham Carter included in our broadcasts, which we think provide a mix of community news, entertainment, music and children’s content that reflects the inclusive ethos of the theatre.”

Cool Conversations with Kenton Cool forms part of the Barn Theatre’s free live-streaming service Behind The Barn Door.

The series joins children’s entertainment show with Giffords Circus’ Tweedy the Clown, Tweedy’s Lost & Found, and weekly live Q&As with Cotswold District Council leader Joe Harris and local MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown.

The streaming service airs live on the Barn Theatre’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter channels.
