John Robertson

John Robertson

21 Aug 2025 - 29 Nov 2026

John Robertson is a comedian, streamer, children’s author, improviser, actor, videogame writer, insult comic and manic hurricane man. LGBTQIA+, gamer, Goth, geeky and goddamn good at screaming at large groups. His crowd are diverse, perverse, wholesome, yet awful. This high-octane show is the brainchild of comedian & cult leader John Robertson. Filled with stand-up, appalling prizes and more audience chanting than you’d get at a protest – it’s a gut-busting rock n’ roll experience for everyone who buys a ticket.
Jamie MacDonald: Toxic Bastard

Jamie MacDonald: Toxic Bastard

21 Aug 2025 - 16 Oct 2025

As a white, middle-class, straight male with an ok career Jamie fits the current stereotype of a loathsome, over-privileged, toxic bastard. However, purely because he’s blind, he’s constantly told he’s a role model. FYI, he isn’t toxic. But surely he should have the choice to be without people continually telling him he’s a hero?

Kim Blythe: Cowboy

Kim Blythe: Cowboy

21 Aug 2025 - 25 Nov 2025

Kim Blythe is a cowboy. Not the rugged, western kind but more like a questionable tradesman. Unsure and thriving after selling out across the UK and Ireland, Kim brings her second show Cowboy on tour as she tries to make sense of it all. If you feel like you're constantly winging it through life, then Cowboy is the show for you. If you don't feel like that, it's still a great show, honestly.
