Upcoming Shows
Everything we're doing (that we've announced).
Harriet Richardson: Work-in-Progress
Thu 6th - Sat 8th November
Pleasance Theatre, London
A rare opportunity to see self-proclaimed 'online performance artist' Harriet Richardson’s first work in progress.
Trying out new material for her upcoming solo show, Harriet blends diaristic writing, comedy, and performance art— turning intimacy, obsession, and self-exposure into something disarmingly funny and strangely relatable.
Her work has been featured in The Guardian, The New York Times, Artnet, Dazed, De Volkskrant and It’s Nice That.
Rosa Garland: Primal Bog
Thursday 13th November
FEAST Theatre Festival, Malvern
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.
Ozzy Algar: Speed Queen
Thu 13th - Sat 15th November
Soho Theatre, London
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.” (The Reviews Hub).
Directed by Tanika Lay-Meachen. Costumes by Sonya Mullen. Original music composed by Tom Penn,with lyrics by Ozzy Algar.
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)
Holly Spillar: Tall Child
2nd & 3rd January
Soho Theatre, London
Tall Child is the new hour of musical comedy from critically-acclaimed, furious woman Holly Spillar and her little red loop pedal. In this age of insecurity, in a cost-of-living crisis, we're all stuck in the shit so let's wade through it together.
Armed with nothing but a loop pedal and her ever-growing rage, Holly Spillar is looking for the catharsis only art (made by low-income people, working two bad jobs on minimum wage) can provide in this "archly witty, impassioned and hilarious" (The Scotsman) hour of musical comedy.
Hilarious at Hoxton Hall with Christopher Hall
Thursday 22nd January
Hoxton Hall, London
London’s hottest new comedy night returns to the iconic Hoxton Hall for another evening of some of the biggest stand-ups in the country, headlined by viral online star of The Stand-Up Sketch Show and his 'background singers' videos Christopher Hall!
He'll be joined by Live at the Apollo stars Olga Koch and Celya AB, plus viral comedy sensations Sophie Garrad and Alice Brine and the star of Last One Laughing Harriet Kemsley!
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.
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
25th February - 7th March
Soho Theatre, London
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”).

Paulina Lenoir: Puella Eterna
Fri 27th - Sat 28th February
Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh
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.
