Upcoming Shows
Everything we're doing (that we've announced).
Bebe Cave: CHRISTBRIDE
1st December - 1st March
Various Dates, UK Tour
In the dark, deathly world of the Middle Ages, one (annoying) woman strives to find the light. Join Batilda Bigbum, a female mystic in a world of male dullards, as she escapes from a life of monotony to a life of devotion. This is CHRISTBRIDE: a “dementedly funny and fast-paced” (The Scotsman) new character comedy from Bebe Cave.
“A masterclass of anarchic comedy” (The List), Bebe Cave’s award-winning debut (The List Festival Awards’ Best Comedy Show) is both irreverent and irresistible. It’s a “Clueless-meets-Monty-Python medieval romp” (The Skinny) that’s “as fiery as the flames that burned witches of yore.” (Broadway World)
Anna Hale: Control Freak
23rd January - 20th February
Various Dates, UK Tour
Introducing Anna Hale: comedian, singer-songwriter, and unapologetic control freak. She’s written the jokes, the songs, planned the lighting cues and even sold the tickets. But when life spins out of control, can one perfectionist keep the show together, and, crucially, not let anyone else have a go?
Armed with killer punchlines and “emotionally revealing, musically catchy” songs (Chortle), Hale delivers an hour that’s “upbeat, tuneful, and defined by her resilience” (The Scotsman). With “powerhouse vocals” (The List) and “Broadway-level tunes” (Fringesider), she blends sharp comedy with undeniable musical flair.
Baby Lame: Hit Me Baby One More Lame! (WIP)
Tuesday 27th January
Pleasance Theatre, London
For one night only, cult superstar Baby Lame is Britney Spears, as she fearlessly uncovers the true (but completely unauthorised and definitely not approved by her legal team) story of the world’s most chaotic pop icon.
Featuring 100 Britney songs (well, near enough) and directed by Deanna Fleysher (Butt Kapinski / Red Bastard), join Baby for a hilariously unhinged immersive punk odyssey through space travel, romance, murder and full-throttle pop madness, co-starring… the entire audience.
This is the Britney saga nobody asked for, but everyone will remember.
Paulina Lenoir: Puella Eterna
Thursday 5th February
Old Joint Stock Theatre, Birmingham
Self-renowned poet Puella Eterna brings you a tale of birth, life and death.
Would you like to live forever?
This is a debut show about LIFE, in all its stages.
Told by a poetic idiot in search of eternity – between the pages.
Acclaimed designer and theatre-maker turned “virtuosic clown” (FringeReview) Paulina Lenoir presents a tale of birth, life and death told through the eyes of this generation’s most renowned poet, Puella Eterna.
Rosa Garland: Primal Bog
Thursday 12th February
Summerhall, Edinburgh
Primal Bog is the gorgeously gross new piece from Rosa Garland, creator of Trash Salad (one of The Telegraph’s “Funniest Shows of the Fringe”). In Primal Bog, Garland plunges headfirst into the muck in an hour of clowning, slime, and unfiltered desire that’s been hailed as “filthy and fearless” (The Telegraph) and “a masterclass in comedy” (Metro).
Part psychosexual fever-dream, part Jackass stunt, Primal Bog is “disgusting, daring and unlike anything else” (Fest) and a “thrilling showcase of comic fearlessness” (Chortle) that leaves audiences howling, gagging, and cheering in equal measure.
Ratbag: Ratmaggedon (WIP)
Friday 13th February
Pleasance Theatre, London
Welcome to Ratmageddon, the bizarre, apocalyptic comedy adventure you didn’t know you needed. Fresh from Soho Theatre's Character Lab, join comedy duo RATBAG as they present the Work-In-Progress of their debut hour - a chaotic, narrative-driven explosion of sketch, clown and character comedy.
Expect big characters, bold choices, surprising twists, and the kind of joyful theatrical mayhem that only emerges when two performers push each other right to the edge. If you love comedy that’s unpredictable, imaginative, and unashamedly silly, this is the show for you.
Sam Eley is Basil Crumbwick: Soul Sewage (WIP)
Tuesday 17th February
Pleasance Theatre, London
Really horrid bloke. Funny though. Expect chaos and desperation. Will be burnt into your brain like when someone pauses a plasma TV for too long.
Winner of Sketch-Off 2025.
Finalist of LSQ New Comedian of the Year.
‘A virtuoso display of comic writing’ Steve Bennett, Chortle
‘He makes a hell of an impression...something very special’ Tim Harding, Chortle
‘[Truly] original humour’ Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke
Bebe Cave (Work-In-Progress)
Tuesday 17th February
Pleasance Theatre, London
Bebe Cave presents the first work-in-progress of the follow-up to her award-winning debut comedy show CHRISTBRIDE (The List Festival Awards - Best Comedy Show). Bebe brings you a brand new hour of her "dementedly funny and fast-paced" (★★★★★ The Scotsman) historical character comedy.

Pedro Leandro: Soft Animal
Wednesday 18th February
Union Theatre, London
Soft Animal is the ‘polished comedic debut’ (★★★★ A Young(ish) Perspective) show from Pedro Leandro, a comedian who has famously been described as ‘amusing, entertaining and deeply insightful’ (★★★★ Binge Fringe) and ‘a joy to watch’ (★★★★★ EdFringeReview)
Sadly, he has found this praise to be insufficient. Standing atop the lonely Everest of his innumerable achievements, he invites his audience to reflect: will it, can it, ever be enough? If the whole world said, as one: ‘You are the greatest comedian that has ever lived. In fact, you transcend that label. You are a raconteur. An artist. And we actually like that you’re gay’, would that be enough? I mean, it wouldn’t hurt.
Rosa Garland: Primal Bog
Wednesday 18th February
The Old Fire Station, Oxford
Primal Bog is the gorgeously gross new piece from Rosa Garland, creator of Trash Salad (one of The Telegraph’s “Funniest Shows of the Fringe”). In Primal Bog, Garland plunges headfirst into the muck in an hour of clowning, slime, and unfiltered desire that’s been hailed as “filthy and fearless” (The Telegraph) and “a masterclass in comedy” (Metro).
Part psychosexual fever-dream, part Jackass stunt, Primal Bog is “disgusting, daring and unlike anything else” (Fest) and a “thrilling showcase of comic fearlessness” (Chortle) that leaves audiences howling, gagging, and cheering in equal measure.
Roger Prick: Sexopolis (WIP)
Thursday 19th February
Pleasance Theatre, London
That's right, it's Roger Prick! 1970s pornographer, erotic novelist, and celebrity casanova. Now it's 2025 and he's ready to relaunch his dirtiest novel, revised and edited for the post Me Too era.It’s modern! It’s feminist! It’s progressive! The gorgeous naked vixens are still there, but now they all have names. Roger's one of the good guys... even if he is greasy, lecherous, perverted and licking his lips a bit too much.
Hold onto your cigar and don't miss this sleazy, silly, and satirical character comedy drag show.
Roger Prick is the drag persona of Han Whyte, stand-up comedian, character comic and finalist of Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off 2025.
Maya Ricote: Ay Am (WIP)
Thursday 19th February
Pleasance Theatre, London
Maya Ricote (a Mexican telenovela actress turned idiot) has made a deal with a witch and now wants out of it, before it devours what’s left of her soul. She’s 94 years old, but looks 25. Howl.
“The funny bones are strong in that family” - Chortle

Ozzy Algar: Speed Queen
Tue 10th - Sun 22nd March
Courtyard Of Curiosities, Adelaide
We are in the Speed Queen, the last launderette on the Isle of Wight.
Here, Pet, an ancient washerwoman, divines the fates of her customers through their dirty laundry, and a story unfolds of an island ill-at-ease.
Part folklore, part pitch-black comedy, Speed Queen is a hauntingly funny debut that blends the Isle of Wight’s untold myths and hidden histories with folk horror, original music, and razor-sharp character work in this double Comedian’s Choice award-nominated, ‘gorgeously evocative, otherworldly debut hour from a rising star’ (Reviews Hub).
