Upcoming Shows
Everything we're doing (that we've announced).
Sam Eley is Basil Crumbwick: Soul Sewage
8th - 17th October
Soho Theatre, London
Rosa Garland: Primal Bog
Thursday 5th November
Stanley Arts, 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”). 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.
Early Days: Sam Eley & Betty Thompson
Wednesday 25th November
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Join us for three nights of two acts doing something potentially wild and definitely brand new that they're hoping to develop into massive new projects.
Our first night features the first airing of brand new material for a follow-up show from Sam Eley is Basil Crumbwick, the 2025 Leicester Square Sketch-Off Winner who went on to win three major awards including ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ Best Newcomer at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This will be followed by a work-in-progress of 2026 Leicester Square Sketch-Off Winner Betty Thompson, working up material for their debut show.
Early Days: Anna Hale & Jennifer Zheng
Friday 27th November
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Join us for three nights of two acts doing something potentially wild and definitely brand new that they're hoping to develop into massive new projects.
Our second night features the return of a BIGHEAD Comedy favourite as Anna Hale returns with her “powerhouse vocals” (The List) for a brand new preview of her upcoming second show as she keeps “raising the bar for musical comedy higher and higher” (LMAOnaise). She’ll be joined by Jennifer Zheng, bringing us a new version of her upcoming debut show Divorce Party, which absolutely blew us away at its first airing at Early Days 2025.
Early Days: Maia Tassalini & Cabbage The Clown
Saturday 28th November
Rosemary Branch Theatre, London
Join us for three nights of two acts doing something potentially wild and definitely brand new that they're hoping to develop into massive new projects.
Our final night of this year’s proceedings features the first steps of a new show from BIGHEAD Comedy favourite Cabbage The Clown, whose debut show toured the UK including two runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and two at Soho Theatre, garnering critical acclaim for this “gen-z, loudly queer and thoroughly hilarious” (Binge Fringe) multimedia drag star. They’ll be joined by Maia Tassalini presenting the first ideas for the follow up to her “frankly exceptional debut” (British Comedy Guide) that was nominated for NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy.

Bebe Cave: Swoon
25th January - 14th March
Various Venues, UK Tour
Award-winning character comedian and actress Bebe Cave explores historical female main character syndrome. This time it's the Victorian era, where men wear top hats and waistcoats and ladies don't have the vote yet. Good times!
Through the lens of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, some very silly men who were very good at painting, and their most famous muses, Bebe skewers pretentious male artistry and the women they love to drown in "a uniquely gleeful, centuries spanning romp" (★★★★★ Chortle). Why are women such beautiful artistic objects, especially when they're dead, and why are the men who paint them so difficult and very much alive?

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:
