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.
