Upcoming Shows
Everything we're doing (that we've announced).
Rosa Garland: Primal Bog
12th February - 21st May
Various Venues, UK Tour
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.
Cabbage The Clown: Cinemadrome
24th April - 9th July
Various Venues, UK Tour
Minimum wage cinema employee turned multi award-winning tragic fool Cabbage the Clown's debut hour marries a buffet of genres in polygamous holy matrimony in the name of drag in their “Gen-Z, loudly queer and thoroughly hilariousˮ (Binge Fringe) debut hour.
With over 8 million views online for their genre-busting brand of multimedia drag-clowning, Cabbage presents their critically-acclaimed debut show: One part breathless parody of cinematic history, one part thoughtful dissection of minimum wage careers, one part rolling around on the floor covered in popcorn.
So talk through the trailers, get the loudest snacks available, then sit back, relax and enjoy this Bechdel Test-passing, BBFC-unapproved, global premiere.
Su Mi: THISMOTHERPHUCKER
8th & 9th May
Soho Theatre, London
Award-winning stand-up and drag performance artist Su Mi presents their “absolutely bonkers” (Binge Fringe) award-winning debut show: an immersive surreal experience resurrecting every nostalgic moment left forgotten, healing the inner child and seeking to destroy archaic stereotypes and challenge the narrative of comedy whilst navigating a predominantly white cis space.
The BBC New Comedian of the Year nominee and finalist of the Funny Women Awards and Musical Comedy Awards presents “a glorious reclaiming of space that throws the rules of respectability out the window” (The Skinny).
Preview Week: Sam Eley + Molly-Rose Treves + Anna Hale
Monday 11th May
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Multi award-winning comedy producers BIGHEAD Comedy present their entire 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe roster over four nights at the Rosemary Branch Theatre!
On Monday 11th May we’re bringing you Sam Eley as Basil Crumbwick, 2025 Leicester Square Sketch-Off Winner and Leicester Comedy Festival award nominee whose last preview was so funny that Chortle said they were “in danger of throwing up from laughing”.
Sam will be joined by BIGHEAD regulars Anna Hale (Musical Comedy Awards runner-up) and Molly Rose-Treves (one-half of sketch group Ratbag), who both will be performing special 30-minute first ever previews of shows currently in early development.
Preview Week: Baby Lame + Bebe Cave
Tuesday 12th May
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Multi award-winning comedy producers BIGHEAD Comedy present their entire 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe roster over four nights at the Rosemary Branch Theatre!
On Tuesday 12th May we’re bringing you Baby Lame previewing their new show Hit Me Baby One More Lame! The cult drag superstar presents a sci-fi odyssey tribute to Britney Spears filled with Britney’s biggest hits.
Baby will be joined by Bebe Cave with a preview of the final show in her trilogy exploring historic female histrionics. Bebe’s second show CHRISTBRIDE won The List Festival Award for Best Comedy Show in 2025 and this is one of the first chances to catch a preview of her follow-up.
Preview Week: Roger Prick + Fanny Bleach
Wednesday 13th May
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Multi award-winning comedy producers BIGHEAD Comedy present their entire 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe roster over four nights at the Rosemary Branch Theatre!
On Wednesday 13th May we’re bringing you Roger Prick previewing their debut show Sexopolis. Roger, the character creation of Hannah Whyte, was a finalist in the 2025 Leicester Square Sketch-Off and was referred to by Morning Star as “a soft-porn Alan Partridge”.
Roger will be joined by Fanny Bleach for a double-bill of grotesque as Fanny presents The Nearly Naked Show. Award-winning drag thing Fanny brings you “a parade of chaos, craft and cuntery” (Narc) in this fantastical freak show full of guts and glitter.
Ozzy Algar: Speed Queen
Wednesday 13th May
Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds
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).
Preview Week: Maya Ricote + Jenny Gorelick
Thursday 14th May
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Multi award-winning comedy producers BIGHEAD Comedy present their entire 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe roster over four nights at the Rosemary Branch Theatre!
On Thursday 14th May we’re bringing you Maya Ricote previewing their debut show Ay Am! Maya is a 2026 Leicester Square Sketch-Off and Chortle “predict big things” for this hilarious new character clown.
Maya will be joined by Jenny Gorelick, US stand-up as seen in Netflix Is A Joke and Cosmopolitan. She was also a Critic’s Pick in the New York Times and TimeOut called her “crush-worthy and ever-charming”.
Sam Eley is Basil Crumbwick: Soul Sewage (WIP)
14th & 15th May
Caroline of Brunswick, Brighton
(part of Brighton Fringe)
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.

Want to be on a show?
BIGHEAD run mixed bill shows most months of the year, including Hilarious at Hoxton Hall in Hackney, Live at the Escape in Stratford and Live at Seven Dials Playhouse in Central London.
We also occasionally work with performers and groups on individual projects for performance at venues across London and at festivals around the UK.
We especially encourage acts who come from a non-traditional comedy performance background who would like to try performing on a mixed bill stand-up night.
If you would like to perform at one of our nights, or you have a project you'd like to pitch to us, please send a bio and video clips if you have them to:
