Stuart Laws ('You'll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes per minute rate... like a one-man episode of Arrested Development' Fest) acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe and tour show Stuart Laws is All In. The show sees Stuart reflect on the day his life changed forever: when he risked everything in a Las Vegas poker tournament. Is he a winner or a loser? Can he burn the candle at both ends? And has he been infected by the Willennium Bug? A show about making difficult decisions, choosing different paths and gettin' jiggy wit' it from the leftfield observationalist and intricate gag-weaver. “A deliriously fun and nonsensical hour full of tiny little treats, Stuart Laws Is All In defiantly stands proud as a show not to be taken seriously in any way, shape or form.” ★★★★ The List
The show is a unique and innovative full embracing of virtual comedy as Stuart explores his life after a vasectomy, catching spiders, what live comedy is, the government gilet contract and living with his twin brother.
If you wear a gilet (or even if you don't), you'll enjoy this surreal and clever performance about Stuart's Summer of 2001 - featuring breweries, paper rounds and psychopaths. Oh, and of course - puffins.
A documentary following five comedians: Amy Gledhill, Sikisa, Josh Jones, Lily Phillips and Anthony DeVito at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022. A funny, intimate showcase of what it's like for comedians to bring their debut show to the festival.
Last year Stuart started telling the truth on stage and was diagnosed autistic: he got the best reviews he’s ever got and his show was a must-see. He's back baby! And has to lean into it further. It’s funny, it’s real, it’s immaculately structured and it’s a chance to see a comedian at the top of his game.
Unemployed, directionless and facing spiralling debt - Craig shares a flat with his fiancée, Rachel. She has a new job and a promising future but Craig's daily life has become a hopeless cycle of interviews, sleep and unwise loans that leave him feeling terrified that he might never make anything of himself. After a chance meeting, Craig befriends Tom, whose relaxed attitude to life seems to offer a solution to his predicament.
The Time Show is a comedy/theatre/spoken word show that received critical acclaim at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe and went on to tour the UK to sell-out crowds. Following on from his much applauded shows about talking, hair, sleep, water, faces, the sky and the colour yellow, Rob turned his attention to time.
James Acaster explores his love/hate relationship with standup by relinquishing control of his set and accepting a healthy dose of audience interference – AKA heckling. With his wiry observational eye and incomparable wit, Acaster shares hilarious on-the-fly meta-analysis of his own material, along with stories from his childhood that spurred him to pursue a career in comedy.
The Ruislip-based stand up has resolved to tell the truth, the whole truth and almost nothing but the truth. After an argument with his therapist about being too closed off, Stuart has resolved to come clean: sperm and all.
Everywhere he looks, Martin sees beauty, the beauty of an elderly couple in love, of a new life, of the woman across the cafe... Martin sees beauty everywhere, except in the mirror. Consumed by self-pity, he decides to take drastic measures to be part of the world from which he feels so excluded.
A forty minute stand-up special consisting of material that was cut from James Acaster's 2019 show Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999.
Debut show from the Malawian-born Britain's Got Talent breakthrough act, Dalisio delivers his cheekily charming take on recent news, old news, fake news, and stories that were never quite but ALMOST news. Having lived in countries where it is forbidden to criticise the the status quo, Daliso is the disarming comic making the most of his freedom to be very, very funny.
A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely crafted jokes, Peter Brush unassumingly takes the stage with his slight bespectacled frame and scruffy hair, before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one-liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion. If he weren’t a stand-up comedian Brush says he has an ‘overly romanticised idea of being a folk musician’.
Enjoy an entrancing tour rich with anecdotal awkwardness from Jonny Pelham as he guides you from his uneasy adolescence (as the only white guy in a Bangladeshi gang) to his misguided adulthood (too many to reference).
Watch your soon to be new favourite double act The Delightful Sausage aka Chris Cantrill and Amy Gledhill in ‘Cold Hard Cache’, as they set about to guide those in the community who need a helping hand with modern technology. Take a tour through the darkest corners of the Internet with this unique and inventive show, packed with energetic sketches, unsettling illustrations and silly adventures.
In her debut stand-up special, Harriet takes bad aim at being married (for now), motherhood and the beauty industry.
Josh Pugh made quite an impression at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, where he was deservedly nominated for best show in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards with Sausage, Egg, Josh Pugh, Chips and Beans. Josh performs his award nominated stand up show in front of a sold out Birmingham Town Hall on the final night of his first nationwide tour. A show about the last two years of his life, trying for a baby and losing Captain Tom's Birthday Cards
An examination of the similarities and differences between dating a man and a woman, from the perspective of a bisexual singleton.
If middle age has taught Jen Brister anything, it’s that optimism does not come naturally to her. In fact it’s fair to say that her cup is very much half empty and she’s making no attempt to fill it. Can Jen work against her natural instincts and finally see the light? Or will she stay the same old pessimistic naysayer she’s always been. I mean, I think we know the answer to that, but let’s try and be optimistic.
Comedian’s Comedian Podcast host and ‘expert stand-up’ (Times) Goldsmith now commits to the bit. This year: second international tour, seven million downloads, critically-acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run, and look, honestly? My best ever show. I’m so goddamn proud of this, it’s stupider and less clever-clogs and just the funniest stuff I’ve ever created. OK?
