Celya Ab: We Must Stop Meeting Like This
Have you ever forensically over-thought your life choices? Are they all somehow connected to a passing comment your Spanish teacher made when you were 15? Has it impacted everything from your love life to your career? Following sold-out shows across the UK, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre, Celya AB (One of the most gifted joke writers of her age - Chortle) is back with a new show with her brand of exceptional, not to mention impressively original (British Comedy Guide) jokes and sharp observations. This is a show about breaking free from shame, and what ensues when you do.
Christopher Macarthur-Boyd: Howling At The Moon
One of the hottest tickets at the Fringe in 2025, Howling At The Moon is Christopher MacArthur-Boyd's new show of nocturnal stand-up about neurodivergence, sexuality and lunacy. Host of the Here Comes The Guillotine podcast alongside Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe, star of the comedy specials Oh No and Scary Times, and host of the BBC New Comedy Award and star of Scotland Stands Up, with appearances on Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Christopher has previously opened for comedians such as Kevin Bridges, Shane Gillis, Kerry Godliman, Jason Manford and David Cross.
Peter Flanagan: Fresh Prince Of Kildare
After a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, ‘Fresh Prince of Kildare’ is the debut tour show from Irish comedy sensation Peter Flanagan. An hour of impeccably funny, personal comedy from a rising Irish talent.  In this blisteringly funny hour, Peter meditates on his upbringing in his deeply conservative home of Kildare, his move to the melting pot of East London, and the year of bad dates, booze and meditation that followed.  With over 100,000 followers and millions of views online, his whip-smart writing and deeply personal, hilarious stories have landed him headline performances at the top clubs and festivals around the world. Now embarking on a UK, Ireland and European tour.

Morgan Rees: What A Bummer

24 Sept 2026 - 22 Nov 2026

After Morgan and his partner went on separate holidays - one to a Mathematics Forum in Coventry and the other to a Bear Party in Barcelona - a massive revelation forced Morgan to re-evaluate everything. Being banned from Great Western trains, being fired as a Naked Butler, and ghosting Paul McCartney were they really his fault? Has that got you hooked? Good, because thats the only stuff appropriate enough to include in the blurb. A stand-up show about the trials and errors of falling in love and keeping the spark alive, the spiral-inducing limbo of awaiting a diagnosis, and the experience of being a white Welsh valley boy integrating into a proud Guattari family. Oh, hes got plenty to talk about. As well as garnering millions of views online and rave-reviews for his live shows, Morgan has supported Joanne McNally, Rhys James and Jayde Adams on tour, appeared as a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards, and hosts hit podcasts My Bad and Chatting With Cherubs alongside Josh Jones and Gearid Farrelly.

A quick-witted, unexpected and unapologetic insight into life in midlife. Combining Cally’s comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention - taking her from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers. A funny show about a deadly serious subject, Namaste Motherf★ckers is a celebration of and for the female of the species. Invisible no more. The show has just celebrated an Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 sell-out, and it will include a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may even be there too).

Andy Peek's Record Club: Talking Heads Special
Fairfield Social Club welcomes Andy Peek (Come On Feet) for the next edition of a new series of listening parties celebrating great albums, heard the way they were intended - in full, on vinyl, and without distraction. Well known in Manchester and beyond as one of the UK's most respected record collectors, Andy brings decades of musical knowledge and a deep love of album culture to FSC. This series puts the record itself front and centre, creating a shared listening experience where the album is the main event. In April's Record Club, Andy will play the two Talking Head Albums Remain In Light (1980) and Speaking In Tongues (1983) back to back. With Brian Eno at the helm, Remain In Light is considered an experimental masterpiece which focuses on dense afrobeat inspired polyrhythmic soundscapes and studio sound experimentation. Speaking In Tongues is considered the highly accessible pop focussed funk follow up to Remain In Light which distils Talking Heads experimental work into an era defining New York record. With both records teeing up the landmark Stop Making Sense perfectly from very different angles, it's safe to say that everyone has an opinion on these two masterpieces!
