In celebration of the release of her hilarious memoir of the same name, comedian, novelist, and professional show-off Jenny Eclair comes to Stafford with a brand-new autobiographical show.

From drama school, (mostly drinking cider and eating sausage rolls), sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana! ​

Still gigging to sell-out crowds forty years later, Jenny invites you to look back at what she can remember before she forgets everything.

Warning, punk poetry, animal impressions and baritone nursery rhyme singing may feature.

Award winning comedian Tom Lucy is embarking on his biggest solo tour with his brand new show ‘Golden Boy’.

Tom is one of the most exciting young comedians in the UK. He is the host of smash hit podcast ‘Private Parts’ and has appeared on many TV shows such as ‘Roast Battle’, ’Stand Up For Live Comedy’, ‘Dating No Filter’, ‘The Lateish Show’ and ‘Stand Up Central’.

As Tom approaches the end of his 20s, he reflects on the previous decade in all its exciting and wild glory and expresses his anxieties for life moving forward.

Tom has toured the world opening in arenas for Jack Whitehall and as a writer he has worked on shows such as the ‘BRIT Awards’.

Are you ready to have the best damn night of your effing life? Well don’t worry, the man with the golden larynx is back – and he’s aiming high.

On his last tour Nick Helm promised you a Super Fun Good Time Show and, except for one man in Hull, no one could say he did anything other than more than deliver. This time, the International Treasure-in-Waiting is going to give you the best damn night of your miserable lives whether you want it or not.

Nick Helm is the greatest living all-round entertainer of his or any generation, living or dead, and he’s coming to a town near you. What are you going to tell your grandkids? That you were busy that night? Well get ready for your grandkids to stare at you with a complete lack of comprehension. You’ll be considered, locally, an idiot. From now on, every time you catch your own reflection in a car window or the back of an old DVD, you’ll think yourself a wally.

So chill the eff out, wind your effing neck in and buy an effing ticket. They’re affordable and there’s an interval to buy refreshments and to look at your fellow audience members with a cocked head asking “Did he just change our lives?” Relent to him. He. Is. Your. New. God. You can run and you can hide, but no one gets out alive.

Since starting stand-up comedy in 2007, Nick quickly gained attention from across the industry for his hilarious blend of one-liners, stories, poems and songs. He’s been twice nominated for an Edinburgh Comedy Award, released two successful albums, and was nominated for a BAFTA for short film Elephant, which he co-wrote, directed and starred in. As also seen on Uncle, Loaded, Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and many more.

Presented by Plosive Live in association with Sophie Chapman Talent

A brand new stand-up show from Angela Barnes, star of Mock The Week and Live at The Apollo.

Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.

This hilarious show has some stories of success and sound logic, but mostly features stories of unmitigated failure, a distinct lack of wisdom, a little bit of German and loads of jokes.

Award winning comedian Angela’s last tour Hot Mess received critical acclaim and was filmed as a special available on ITVX. Angela has also appeared on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC’s House of Games and is a regular guest on Radio 4’s The News Quiz. Angela also co-hosts the popular comedy history podcast We Are History.

“She’s just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic”
– The Guardian

EXTRA DATE ADDED DUE TO HUGE DEMAND

Viral YouTube comedy phenomenon, Andrew Lawrence, takes his hard-edged satire on the road.

The ‘Live at the Apollo’, multiple award-winning stand-up star, has spent twenty years touring comedy clubs and festivals around the world, honing his craft to perfection.

Having been ‘cancelled’ twice for his unflinching, uproarious political humour, Andrew Lawrence has come back stronger each time, unstoppable in the face of censorship, selling out venues wherever he goes.

Now at the top of his game, following on from the huge success of his online videos- where he relentlessly pokes fun at Britain’s clown show political establishment – Andrew Lawrence is bringing his funniest show yet around the UK, a night of guaranteed belly laughs from one of this country’s very best comedians.

Comedian Lee Hurst has had a varied life, a former cleaner, a van driver and labourer.
He became a comedian, did TV Warm Up work and then ended up on TV himself as one of the stars of the hit BBC comedy sports quiz They Think It’s All Over as well as numerous other TV shows. He then walked away from it all to open his own Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green in London’s East End.
He also went to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops (ours).
In 2011 he knocked it down and built a 7-storey hotel reopening his comedy club on the ground floor. (Told you he’s had a varied life.)
Lee is now touring again with his new stand-up show ‘No Particular Order’.
A night where the audience is invited to choose the running order of the show by picking cards displayed on the stage.
Please bear in mind, some of the cards are not what they appear to be…
