Spain’s Best Export Ignacio Lopez is on a mission to destroy himself, and build a better version; Leaner. Smarter. Funnier.

Join the star of Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Comedy Central, QI, House of Games, & more, for a riotously funny exploration of vices, intrusive thoughts, and self improvement.

Expect an armada of playful, wicked humour from the exotic outsider comedian, as he tries to identify his faults and how to improve; Is it worth going to the gym? Can you be addicted to technology? Do you know what happens if you give spiders drugs?

Ignacio uses his razor-sharp wit, and effortless charm to tackle these questions and a bunch of other irrelevant horsesh*t.

It’s clear what toxic masculinity is, but what does positive masculinity look like in a modern context?

Josh Berry intends to provide some sort of answer to this question, through his many impressions and characters, as he tells the tale of being his best friend’s best man earlier this year.

From routines on how to organise a ‘progressive stag do’, to the amusing difficulties men seem to face around positive emotional expression, the show is an opportunity for us to have a ruddy good laugh at a concept that could do with being taken a bit less seriously.

There’s also a routine about how much Josh hates runners and refuses to become one.

N.B. Josh has since entered a half marathon.

EXTRA DATE ADDED DUE TO PHENOMENAL DEMAND

Champion of the Black Country, Jonny Cole is one of the most unique, exciting and hilariously funny acts to come out of the Black Country and unstoppable force in musical comedy.

Comparisons to Jasper Carrott and Tim Minchin (depending on the reviewers age) tell only half the story.

One of the freshest and funniest new comedians to hit the comedy circuit in the last few years. Jonny Cole is packing out comedy clubs everywhere.

With his individual patter and commentary on life, coupled with his original songs, he is being described as a ‘breath of fresh air’. Never forgetting his ‘Black Country’ roots Jonny has written original songs about life, love and loss (his Xbox) with hilarious results.

Back by popular demand after two sell-out shows at the Gatehouse.

As a society we love stuff, it’s a statement about who we are and who we want to be. But apparently, this message is at odds with the looming environmental crisis.

We’re now struggling to balance these worlds, to focus on the things that bring us real connections and nourish the soul.

Award-winning Comedian and Award-winning Product Designer, Scott Bennett is desperately trying to cleanse his life of stuff, but is this even possible anymore?

Tour support for Mickey Flanagan, Rob Brydon Jason Manford, and John Bishop. The star of Live at the Apollo, The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Ultimate Choice and Chortle Best Club Comedian Nominee 2022.

“Without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret” Evening Standard

“Great material, great delivery, a very funny man,” Rob Brydon

“Brilliantly funny, a joy to watch” Chris Ramsey

“Bennett is a stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, a masterclass in adding a frisson of ‘in the moment’ unpredictability to otherwise tightly written routines” Chortle

MC HAMMERSMITH is a multi-award winning hip hop comedian. He writes and performs original hip hop comedy tracks, and performs improvised freestyle rap comedy based on audience suggestions.

He is the world’s leading rapper to ever emerge from the ghetto of middle class west London. Now based in Edinburgh, he performs across the UK and internationally.

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it.

He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes…and there’s a bit about tomatoes.

You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff.

A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense.

WARNING

*contains jokes from the start.

“He’s fast, absurd and very Funny” Radio Times

‘No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride’ The Guardian

Somewhere in a parallel universe little Alfie’s natural comedic performance skills were recognised by his doting parents who encouraged and developed his blossoming talent. After several years as a stage school brat Alfie’s angelic face was launched on stage and screen and the rest is history.

Meanwhile, in this universe Alfie Moore was told to stop messing about in class before being ‘encouraged’ into the grinding, grimy world of an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks. When recession hit he traded steel for copper by joining Humberside Police.

Thirty years of shift-work, initially in the Sheffield steelworks and then as a copper on the beat (where he was punched in the face quite a lot), has left him with ‘a face for radio’.  A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by a settlement of squatters with little regard to property maintenance and repair.

In his 40s a surprising career shift turned middle-aged Alfie from street cop to BBC radio star. But when TV fame beckoned could he grasp it or was he past it?

 “…offbeat, revealing and very funny” You Magazine

“…thoroughly engaging, endlessly funny. His charisma shines through as bright and colourful as a twirling blue light. Mature Times

Recently described by Chortle as a mix between Jack Dee and Frank Skinner wrapped in a Mod’s fashion sense, Matt Bragg is taking his debut show on tour.

A selection of his best bits from 7 years on the comedy circuit which, have taken him all over Europe, from basements to theatres and arenas supporting the likes of Ricky Gervais, John Bishop, Suzi Ruffell and Jason Manford.

“Classic observational comedy, delivered with effortless style” – Ricky Gervais

“Matt Bragg is brilliantly funny” – Suzi Ruffell

“Exemplary stand up” – Tom Rosenthal

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as Justin returns with “The Greatest Performance of My Life”. After a successful and extensively extended tour of his 2022 show Stretch and Think (which you can catch in full on YouTube), he’s back on the road with this new show.

The story covers subjects ranging from pantomimes to dreams, how to behave in hospitals, small talk, realising his Mum is a northern version of Columbo, and how being a smart-mouthed kid saved him from a life of continually being beaten up.

Above all else, it’s the Justin you have to come to expect. It’s funny and interesting, and perhaps there’s a little bit that warms the soul, too.

★★★★ “What sets him apart is the craft. Lightning fast wit, masterful delivery.” Chortle

★★★★ “If joke-telling is your thing, then Justin Moorhouse is your man…very high gag rate”Fest

★★★★“Skilful crafting…he keeps the laughs coming” British Theatre Guide “He charms the pants off the crowd” Sunday Times “The amount of first-rate comic craft that goes into his routines is worthy of admiration” Guardian “Simultaneously down-to- earth and out of this world”
