A completely made-up true story!

“The most generous of hosts… a mesmerising personality… a gifted storyteller… a natural comic” - The Guardian

When the world goes mad, do we inevitably go mad too?

NHS anaesthetist, comedian and author Ed Patrick injects Leeds with a gut-punch hilarious show about becoming a junior doctor, the NHS, the pitfalls of modern medicine and the power of questioning it.

There’s plenty of laughing gas to go round!

Ed also hosts the ‘Comedians Surgery’ podcast where he speaks to guests including Joe Lycett, Rose Matafeo and Reginald D Hunter about their health stories and experiences.

‘Packed with hilarious anecdotes’ The Guardian

Comedian Huge Davies will be performing a series of songs, but not songs he’s written – these are songs passed down from his family members and ancestors (dead). From his Grandpa Joe finally winning a ticket to the chocolate factory to his brother Elliot finding a stray alien in the garden shed, there’s something for everyone.

The School of Night is 20!!

Twenty years ago The School of Night made its first appearance, at Shakespeare's Globe in London. Since then, its unique blend of literary improvisation has been seen all over the UK (Hay, Latitude and Edinburgh festivals, National Theatre, British Library) and beyond (in the US, Malaysia and all over Europe) as well as appearing on many radio shows, including BBC Radio's The Verb.

The eagerly anticipated return to the UK for the Jamaican comedian who has quickly established himself as a household name in the Caribbean through his relatable and hilarious Instagram and TikTok skits.

From one of the most exciting emerging new stars in the UK’s live stand-up scene,1994 is Edinburgh native’s Connor Burns third solo hour. A prolific joke writer, his Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation punctuates a disarmingly relaxed persona and an intelligent, razor-sharp wit.

Connor’s burgeoning reputation as “one to watch” was cemented at the 2023 Fringe when he sold out his entire run two months before the festival started. An additional 9 shows (2000 seats) were added – which also sold out, with audiences even queuing for returns.

Mums’ night out! Helen and Ellie are back with a brand-new comedy show that will have you laughing till you wee. From menopause to mansplaining, teenagers to Tinder, no subject is safe. Featuring new songs, sketches, stand-up, and of course, sparkly new catsuits. Bring your mates, bring your mum, bring your partner if they’re feeling brave enough… It’s a big Scummy party!

‘Highly recommended!’
