Hey cool cats! Hot on the heels of a sell-out 138 date tour of these green and groovy isles, The Guv will be back, baby, with a brand-new stand-up show for 2026. There’s no denying the world’s a mess daddio, but there is a glimmer of hope as the globe’s favourite Pub Landlord returns with his like-nobody-else Common Sense hot-takes for the masses, offering a much-needed truth tonic (pint for the fella/glass of white wine for the lady) for these whacked out and troubled times. With a fresh and frothing pint to hand, a barrel of laughs to pour from, and a flower in his heart, Guv is all you need.

Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown

27 Jun 2026 - 27 Nov 2027

After 50+ years in entertainment/comedy, Roy Chubby Brown is still going strong. Entertaining thousands and thousands of fans annually up and down the country, Roy is the undoubted King of Comedy. Countless DVDs (30 plus), numerous books & cds, thousands of live shows in a career spanning the decades and millions of fans worldwide are still testimony to the fact that even in these ongoing crazy times of woke, cancellation, and political correctness culture, Roy is still the Best of the Best.
The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

10 Jul 2026 - 19 Dec 2026

The Proclaimers have carved a niche for themselves where pop, folk, new wave and punk collide as the emotional honesty, political fire, wit and sing-along raucousness of their songs has entertained fans across the world. Amongst their many accolades they have enjoyed Gold and Platinum singles and albums in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 'My favourite band of all time. They write the most spectacular songs, big hearted, uncynical passionate songs.' -- David Tennant
Susan Calman

Susan Calman

11 Sept 2026 - 20 Nov 2026

A decade older, but not necessarily wiser, Susan has found herself in some improbable situations over the years. Tall Tales is a show about Cruising, driving tanks, cats and getting older. You might have seen her on the television or heard her on the radio but the absolute best way to see her is live on stage. You won’t believe how short she really is. Prepare yourself for an evening of barely believable stories, laughter and probably some dancing. As seen on Grand Day Out, Cruising with Susan Calman, QI, House of Games and (a long time ago) Strictly Come Dancing.

Chris Ramsey: Here Man

15 Aug 2026 - 6 Dec 2026

Following overwhelming demand (mainly from his wife Rosie who is desperate to get him out of the house), Chris Ramsey will be back on the road in 2026 with a brand-new stand-up show. ‘Here Man’ is the hotly anticipated follow-up to Chris’ last sell-out stand-up tour ‘2020’ which saw him perform to over 100,000 people nationwide (albeit thanks to Covid, not in the year intended and with a slightly regrettable tour title!). As seen on The Chris & Rosie Ramsey Show, Strictly Come Dancing, and Taskmaster, presenting Children in Need, and co-hosting his weekly mega-hit marital podcast Shagged.Married.Annoyed, alongside (long-suffering) wife Rosie Ramsey.

Though, as you’ll learn, nothing is as terrifying as the rogue celebrity on SAS: Who Dares Wins… Challenge your limits, change your habits and transform your life.

Ross Noble: Cranium of Curiosities

Ross Noble: Cranium of Curiosities

3 Jul 2026 - 21 May 2027

Roll up, roll up! Or use a more conventional form of transport to get to the show. It's entirely your choice. Unless you accidentally become trapped in a barrel. Should that happen, then just find an incline and start rolling to see the one and only Ross Noble! He is the Wizard of Waffle, The Rambler Royale, The Noodlers' Noodler, and he's back live on stage to tour a tornado of tangents. What the show will be about is anybody's guess, but that's all part of the fun when you look inside his Cranium of Curiosities.

Ed Byrne: No Dramas

23 Aug 2026 - 3 Jul 2027

Ed just wants to live a life free of hassles or drama. He feels he’s earned it, but the world has other plans for him. Come, hear the conquistador of petty gripes air his grievances with a world hell bent on irritating the bejeezus out of us all and, who knows, perhaps it will make you feel better about your own bouts of impotent rage.
