Our legendary comedy nights are back, back, BACK for 2024!

Don’t miss three laugh-out-loud comics fearlessly taking to the mic in front of what’s sure to be a sell-out audience.

Teachers! No-one understands you, right? You’ve got the kids, the parents, the head? If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry. KEVIN PRECIOUS got out. After years of teaching, he lived to tell the hilarious tale – actually LOTS of hilarious tales.

He enjoyed the teaching part. He just didn’t enjoy all of the other stuff that went with it. So he decided to leave and get his life back.

Join him as he explores the foibles of his former profession including the odd pedagogical swipe (phew!) in the process.

Teachers are exiting the profession in droves. Dissatisfaction with the ridiculous levels of paperwork and accountability, an overly-prescribed and increasingly narrow curriculum, and the foibles associated with the ever-advancing Academy system; all proferred as reasons. All of this subject matter finds its way into Kevin’s new show, ‘The Reluctant Teacher’. Of course, There will also be plenty of lighter stuff based around the day-to-day experiences of being a teacher to ensure things don’t become overwrought.

Here are some of the things other teachers, and teaching bodies said about Kevin’s previous teaching show:

‘Highly entertaining for teachers and non-teachers alike. Funny, witty, nicely cynical – and only occasionally Not Appropriate. This is for those old enough to sit inside the staff room.’ – Fiona Moss, Executive Officer NATRE National Association Teachers of Religious Education

‘I booked Kevin for him to deliver his ‘Not Appropriate’ gig to our whole staff team at our recent INSET. Kevin was appropriately funny and the staff quickly warmed to the event. Staff mentioned after that it was the best INSET ever. SLT said it was good too. As for Kevin, it is a real testimony to Kevin’s ability as a comedian he had us in stitches and the way he ad-libs and feeds off the audience is amazing. I would definitely re book Kevin for future events.’ – Julie Bellamy West Heath School, Sevenoaks

‘Using all his years of experience, Kevin had our teacher’s eating out of the palm of his hand. His uncanny observations of both students and teachers had the audience in raptures.

‘If you are a teaching agency that is bored of just inviting their teachers to the pub at the end of term and want to put on a show; Kevin provides the ideal act. It allows you to have a theme for your event, shows you care, as you want to do just more than buy them a drink, and most importantly, everyone has a ruddy good laugh.’ – Marios Georgiou, Chairman Step Teachers Ltd

‘Instantly recognisable stage presence and boundless wit’ (Leicester Mercury).

‘Kevin’s stage charisma and poise set him head and shoulders above the previous acts’ (Times).

Joe Pasquale has been showing off on stage for most of his life and now, after four decades of nonsense, he’s dragging out his favourite things for another airing to prove that nothing has ever been really normal.

So, if, like me, you have ever asked questions like: can a vegetarian get a job as a Beefeater?

If beauty is relative, why are all my relatives ugly?

If an Eskimo has a house-warming party, will his igloo melt?  Why is it that dead people get to ride in such posh cars?

If a nudist spilt beetroot soup in his lap, would he have a stain on his character?  And why don’t chicken breasts have nipples?  Then this is the show for you!

2024 SHOW INCLUDES Q&A

What has quickly became an annual tradition. Carl is back for a third consecutive back-to-back tour. His storytelling skills & ability to hold an audience is second to none. Rich in observations and exaggerated physical comedy, a night out with this Geordie is guaranteed to have you belly laughing from start to finish.

“Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean you’re not being followed!”

Dom Joly has been off travelling the globe again. This time, he’s been looking into some of the strangest and weirdest conspiracy theories in existence. Now, he’s now set to embark on a rather unique theatre tour, where Dom will be providing a hilarious, fascinating, and slightly anarchic guide to the wacky world of conspiracies.

1. Is the earth flat?

2. Does Finland exist?

3. Did JFK commit suicide?

4. Are Q Anon mentally ill?

5. Is Bill Gates using vaccines to take control of your mind?

6. Is Denver Airport a massive panic room for the Illuminati?

7. Are UFO’s piloted by lizards?

In the spirit of fairness, Dom will also be inviting a well-known and highly respected conspiracy theorist, Dr Julian Northcote, to take the stage and defend the alternate view.

Due to the extremely controversial views aired in the show, security will be at an optimum and audiences are warned that angry demonstrations are very likely–or is that just another conspiracy?!

Actress, writer, voiceover artist and character comedienne. Having trained as an actress she has appeared on TV and in theatre in the likes of ‘Jo Brand Through the Cakehole’ (CH4) and ‘The Borrowers’ (National Tour). ‘Naturally funny’ (Sarah Millican) ‘A great emcee, quick witted, and adept at handling large rooms’ (Gary Delaney) ‘Lou Conran, pretty much one of the most confident and playful comperes we’ve seen recently, commanding a packed and raucous sell-out night with ease’ (Latest7 magazine) ‘… with a cracking stage presence and good material…thoroughly engaging, you tell she has the talent’ (Frog & Bucket) ‘Louise is a naturally funny comic, with a warm and dotty stage presence that helps endear her to an audience. If she can build on the great foundations she has laid, she’s sure to have a good future ahead of her. Witty, naughty but most of all good fun, with a touch of the Victoria Wood about her’ (Toby Hadoke, XS Malarkey).

On I Bang

Since Miles’ last tour finished at The London Palladium in 2017, he’s been in The Full Monty on Disney Plus, The Durrells and Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You.

He’s made an award-winning radio series and he’s published a novel. But for Covid, he would have played a lead at the RSC. Hey ho. Nevertheless he’s done a play in the West End and played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in a Ridley Scott film.

Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery.

Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang – a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.
