Celya AB: Of All People

‘One of the most gifted joke writers of our age’ ★★★★ (Chortle), the Live At The Apollo star returns with a brand new tour.

The only light, the white screen of a challenging email Celya was drafting. The only sound, the tap-tap-tap of the keyboard. This was, without a doubt, “rock bottom”. Also contains hot takes on judges, toothpaste and the sexiest thing anyone can do on a date.  

Following multiple sell-out tours and barnstorming appearances at JFL Montreal and Melbourne ICF, Celya is back to tackle the big three: beauty, money and the void, in her most personal show yet.

‘She has claimed her crown and her mastery over the stand up art form’ ★★★★★ (Pepper and Salt).

‘Her quips are slick, her one liners razor sharp, and her caustic wit and pithy anecdotes dazzle the mind’ ★★★★ (Entertainment Now).

‘The gags are plentiful and worth all your pence’ ★★★★ (The Comics Comic).

It’s a solo show. A mockery and celebration of performance. Absurd. Simple. Outrageous. Stupid. Fun. It’s terrible. An important waste of your time. It’s great. Please strongly consider all of this information before coming.

John Norris is a man whose absurd comedy is singular and oozes mountains of stupidity and silliness. Based out of Los Angeles and Las Vegas, John brings his word-of-mouth cult hit, sold out, five star, award nominated debut show around the UK for the very first time.

Also, in 2009, he ate and digested an entire Kia Forte.

Andrew Ryan: Let Me Know How You Get On

Tickets HERE

Andrew is finally living the life he always thought he would after moving to Belfast and he's taking his hilarious tales of woe and ineptitude on tour across the UK and Ireland this Autumn. He's stopped people-pleasing, overthinking things and (let's be honest lads) it’s been a complete disaster... just what he’s used to! He's tackling the big things in life from getting ill with no insurance abroad, roadside assistance cover fails and trying to get his girlfriend to change her nationality. Strap in, this show promises to be his biggest and best yet. 

 

Andrew takes this show on the road after a sell-out tour in 2022/23. Over 30 million online views for his stand-up clips and his hilarious scrapes from his hit podcast 'Cork in the North'.

Toxic Waste

Tickets HERE

After opening for Chris DiStefano, Theo Von, Jessica Kirson and Jack Whitehall over the last couple of years, London-born, Chicago-built and Liverpool-living Hatty Preston is fast making a name for herself on both sides of the pond. And now she is doing her first ever solo show. On the eve of a birthday with a frankly disgusting number attached to it, Hatty felt it was time to do the thing that she’d been putting off nearly as much as freezing her eggs. She debuted this show in Liverpool in September to great acclaim and now in February will take it on a limited run across the UK. ‘Toxic Waste’ is the show her mother just feels “could be slightly more ladylike” and her ex has spent the last 8 years dreading might happen. Like Adele.

With fewer key changes. “Hatty is a wonderful hilarious comedian that genuinely makes me laugh and destroys the crowds. She doesn’t know a fucking thing about baseball.” Chris DiStefano.

Harry Stachini : Grenade

A masterful storyteller with one of the most amiable and easy-going stage presences on the comedy circuit today, Harry Stachini's latest show, Grenade, examines honesty. Most of us are carrying honesty grenades. Some are small, like farting in a lift and owning up to it. But some are truly massive. Harry’s was medium to large and once he pulled the pin; it destroyed an eight-year relationship, a mortgage and a blue whippet. Relationships, family dynamics and his years spent teaching future serial killers are all brought under the comedy spotlight in this show. Stachini serves up an hour of relatable, honest, and hilarious stand-up, shining a light on the Grenades we all carry.

 

Nominated for Best Show at The Ish Edinburgh Comedy Award and Top 10 Jokes of The Fringe 2024 - The Telegraph.  'Stachini is hilarious... He has the ability to sweep you up into his tall tales and work in some seriously funny quips' - Entertainment Now

Having triumphed at Edinburgh Fringe, L3NT1L and his hapless human now embark on an interactive Xmas UK tour with over two million possible permutations.

Garrett Millerick Needs More Space, sees comedy’s ‘angriest optimist’ return for a hilarious, honest, and mostly historically accurate, exploration of space travel. In his new hour, Garrett examines his totally insignificant place in the universe and how little we actually know about anything.

 

His powerful performances and ability to blend personal experiences with hilarious social commentary, whilst also avoiding political partisanship, has seen Garrett establish a reputation as one of the most challenging, honest and original comedians of his generation. Needs More Space promises to be his funniest show yet as he looks to the stars to find solutions to our earthy complications.

 

In addition to his live tours Garrett is the creator and star of The BBC’s new sitcom series ‘Do Gooders’ with Frank Skinner, Ania Magliano and Ahir Shah. And has recently been seen performing stand up on hit US Late Night show ‘Conan’. He has spent four consecutive years being recommended as one of the top comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, and his last three shows have been recorded and distributed internationally by the US comedy label 800 Pound Gorilla Records.

Dane Buckley: Work in Progress

The world’s only Irish, Indian, gay comedian… (probably) delivers cheeky, camp comedy mischief. Dane has supported Tom Allen & Rosie Jones on tour & was featured as one of Skiddle.com’s best up-and-coming stand-up comedians in 2023.

Marjolein Robertson: Work in Progress

After a sold-out 2023 Fringe, multiple 5 star reviews, nominated for Best Show at the (ISH) Edinburgh Fringe Awards and Best ADHD Show from the Neurodiverse Review Awards, being a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards and 2nd Place in the Funny Women Stage Awar- blah blah blah. You should come see this show. It's funny. And also pretty horrific. But that's the best kind of funny. Unless you get offended by body stuff. Then please. Wow. Maybe not the show for you. Also. Why do you even have a body then?
