Tom Lawrinson - Buried Alive (And Loving It)

Everything is awful but that’s okay, argues Tom in his ridiculously entertaining show about family and growing up in a Spanish subterranean cave. A show for siblings who shared a rubbish childhood, shirtless ex-pats, and comedy fans alike.

"He has an eye for the mundanely absurd which is truly unique, with an execution that is joyfully daft." - Rolling Stone (Top 12 shows of the Edinburgh Fringe)

“Immediately dragging us under with his menacing charm” ★★★★★ Ed Fringe Review

Following his sell-out debut show, viral sensation Horatio Gould brings his much-anticipated sophomore show, Return of the Space Cowboy, on the road.

At the age of 27, Horatio is tribal elder of Gen Z. Existing on the cusp of two age groups and desperate for something meaningful to believe in, Horatio explores the crisis facing young people seeking purpose in life that isn't fat jeans or rock-climbing

As seen on BBC, ITV2, Comedy Central, Channel 4 and support to Phil Wang and Russell Kane. With 2M followers across platforms, she’s taken the internet by storm, but now it’s time to see what she does best; stand-up!

A Comedy Show About Writing A Book About Romance

Alice Fraser has fallen in love… with romance novels. She’s written a delirious love letter to the genre and now she has to live with the consequences.

If you love romance novels, or if you have no idea how anyone could love romance novels, this is the show for you.

A show that will make you laugh, cry, and rethink happily ever after.

(With a guest appearance from the reclusive, mysterious, interdimensionally successful and arguably fictional self-published romance maven and online bestseller, D’Ancey LaGuarde)

A show about the body. Marjolein embarks on the second instalment of her standup trilogy by looking at a health condition that, left unspoken about in the past, was almost fatal. Now, shaking off the shame and armed with knowledge, Marjolein talks through menstrual health with humour and another Shetland folktale. This time the oldest story of Shetland about the deity Sea Midder.

The deadpan, Ray O’Leary (‘Taskmaster NZ’) is a big brain in an ill-fitting suit. Every time he does stand-up and people laugh, he gets stronger. Soon he will be the most powerful man in the universe. When the show ends, he’ll be able to lift a car above his head.

Fresh from a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival run, the Best Show Nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and 3x nominee for Best Male Comedian by the NZ Comedy Guild.

Ray is a staple on Australasian television including ‘Have You Been Paying Attention?’, ‘Thank God You’re Here’, and ‘7 Days’.
