Jamali Maddix: Aston

Critically acclaimed comedian Jamali Maddix is back on the road with a brand new tour show: Aston.

Expect Jamali’s trademark brutally honest and unflinching perspectives on the world at large.

His last tours have sold-out shows across the globe, playing the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America.

He is a regular on the series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks for Sky and was one of the most anarchic Taskmaster contestants the show has ever seen.

Alongside this he was a regular contributor for Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC2) and has been seen on ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC Two), ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’ (More4), The Late Late Show with James Corden (CBS) as well as many others.

Scott Bennett: Stuff 2026

As heard on BBC Radio 4!

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

The Shires – The Two of Us Tour

The UK’s biggest country music export The Shires have announced an intimate acoustic tour for 2024.

The two of us tour will see Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes tour the length and breadth of the UK performing all their classic tracks.
The Shires achievements speak for themselves: three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four number 1 UK Country albums, 100 million+ streams, two Gold-certified records, and countless sold- out headline shows, including filling the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.

The Shires first broke through in 2014 with their single ‘Nashville Grey Skies’, a playful song about Britain needing its own country scene. And that’s something which they helped happen, starting with their 2015 debut Brave, which became the first ever Top 10 album by a UK country music artist. That success continued with a succession of hit albums: 2016’s My Universe, 2018’s Accidentally On Purpose, 2020’s Good Years and 2022’s 10 Year Plan.
Their authenticity saw them embraced by the Nashville scene immediately, leading to two CMA Awards, touring highlights including C2C Festival and shows as guests to Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, The Corrs and more.

Hayley Ellis

Like all women who literally just celebrated their 35th birthday five years ago, Hayley Ellis is obsessed with true crime.

Join Hayley as she navigates middle age – and as everyone agrees, the middle of anything is always the most delicious part (excluding Donuts, Avocados or plane seats), the joys of remaining (mostly) happily unmarried and the truly horrific journey of later-in-life contraception.Something for everyone.
As seen as tour support for Sarah Millican and Jason Manford.
