Milton Jones: HA!milton

Milton Jones: HA!milton

6 Jun 2025 - 29 Nov 2025

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it. He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes... and there’s a bit about tomatoes. You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff. A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense. Warning - contains jokes from the start.

"Twinklingly charismatic the gag rate is ridiculously " ★★★★★ Telegraph A superb piece of stand-up at the top of his game ★★★★★ Independent An innately gifted and multifaceted performer Chortle It's the kind of magnetic set that might restore your faith in the art form Fest Mag

Jason Byrne: Head in the Clouds

Jason Byrne: Head in the Clouds

31 Jul 2025 - 29 Nov 2025

Where does he get it all from? A common phrase heard outside Jason Byrne’s show as the crowd leave with utter joy in their hearts. Jason literally has his Head In the Clouds most of the time, but thankfully, mainly when he’s on stage! It’s laughter at its highest, as we watch Jason pull magic from his cloudy head down onto the stage. Be it, stormy stand up, calm fun or audience members with clouds literally on their heads. Come join Jason in the clouds, for a night of beautiful unpredictable, fluffy, mayhem.
