The story covers subjects ranging from pantomimes to dreams, how to behave in hospitals, small talk, realising his Mum is a northern version of Columbo, and how being a smart-mouthed kid saved him from a life of continually being beaten up. Above all else, it’s the Justin you have to come to expect. It’s funny and interesting, and perhaps there’s a little bit that warms the soul, too.

Catherine Bohart loves control, hates change and is a serial planner. It’s been an interesting couple of years… A blisteringly funny new stand-up show filled with horrendous life advice, cheery nihilism and reluctant self-discovery from one of the UK and Ireland’s most exciting comics.

Two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Lauren Pattison is back with a brand-new show. She's decided she wants to come back bigger, braver and maybe blonder... either way it's time to put her big girl pants on. As seen on Roast Battle (Comedy Central), Stand Up For Live Comedy (BBC One), Comedy Up Late (ABC) and as heard on the smash-hit Have A Word podcast.

Esther’s new show ‘Slagbomb’ takes a nosedive into the awkward sandwich years of life. The phase when youthful freedom gives way to the reality of adult responsibilities. It’s a time when one finds oneself juggling everything from prostate checks to hosing faeces off the garden decking, whilst clad in questionable footwear like crocs. Growing up, Esther imagined she would fulfil all the expectations of a lady, poised and dignified, but looking around she realises that just hasn't happened. Esther's life seems to be a magnet for embarrassing moments and endless cockups. No matter how hard she tries to project sophistication, she often ends up highlighting her unrefined side. Now she wants to embrace her lack of dignity - whether it’s her less-than-graceful posture, cringeworthy encounters with shady drug dealers, or the painful realities of waxing gone wrong. At its core, Esther’s show is an exploration of the challenges and hilarities of navigating the sandwich years, and an invitation to the audience to feel good about the madness in their own lives. After all, she has a Lebanese father dealing with war, a mother dealing with cancer, two kids (who seem to have permanently lost their PE kit), a husband who just wanted some birthday nooky, and a sudden loss of hearing. It’s all part of the messy, chaotic, and often hilarious journey of a right Slagbomb.

Ever looked back on the dumb things you thought as a teenager and cringed? Of course you have. And now’s your chance to laugh at someone else’s misfortunes – a new comedy theatre show written and performed by Tiffany Rhodes! The year is 2007. Floppy fringes are all the rage, sexy vampires are everywhere, and 11-year-old Tiff is furiously scribbling in her diary. About music, about boys, and about all the things that confuse and frustrate her. Fast-forward to 2025. Armed with that same diary, grown-up Tiff is still confused and frustrated, but now she understands the world (and herself) a little better. Join her for this hilarious and harrowing glimpse into the mind of a teenage goth. Expect noughties nostalgia, poorly aged jokes and a whole lot of teen angst. Tiffany Rhodes in collaboration with Apricity Theatre tell a story that many of us growing up in the time of Motorola Razrs and blow up sofas will recognise. One of media misogyny, impossible body standards, and the age old question – are My Chemical Romance goth or emo? Add in the stress of growing up queer and neurodivergent in a world of maths homework and causal homophobia and its easy to see why some of us might need have some unpacking to do. Contains strong language, themes of negative body image, disordered eating, homophobia, bullying and misogyny. Recommended age 14+ ‘made me scream with laughter but it also dug itself into my soul and started to pick at things I thought I’d left to rest a long time ago’ Audience feedback for Let’s Unpack That ‘deeply personal and painfully universal’ Audience feedback for Let’s Unpack That ‘an antidote to repression – whether that’s about sexuality, neurodiversity, body diversity or just being true to oneself’ We Love Brighton for Let’s Unpack That ‘a feminist love letter to everyone it resonates with’s inner child’ We Love Brighton for Let’s Unpack That

Acclaimed beanpole SEAN MCLOUGHLIN is back on the road with a sensational new stand-up show about getting on, getting lost and getting the feeling he might be useless forever. An evening of top-class comedy from a thoroughly mediocre man.  As seen on Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, The Stand-Up Sketch Show and opening for Ricky Gervais on his international tour.

John Hegley returns with his 2025 Edinburgh Fringe show: a series of tales told by and for family members, figures and figments from fêtes, hotels and history – from the former BBC online poet, Keats House Poet in residence, and Edinburgh Comedy award nominee Deft, deep and daft, told in verse sung and spoken – new ones, refreshed ones and a cardboard octopus (the arms do not move). “Awesomely mundane.” The Independent “Just because he is one of the funniest men alive, do not underestimate his dedicated gentleness.” New Statesman. Devised for adults, but not unsuitable for the odd nine-year-old
