Evaldas Karosas: Work in Progress

Take a cynical, detached mind forged in Eastern Europe and train it in the art of Western stand-up. The result is a brutally honest and sharply relatable hour of comedy.

This show gives a microphone to the quiet, calculating voice in the back of your head. It's an hour of comedy about the thoughts we all have, but are smart enough not to say out loud.

BBC new comedy awards finalist 2025

Tour Support for Kevin Bridges, Vittorio Angelone, Gianmarco Soresi, Kyla Cobbler

 

Jen Nolan: Work in Progress 

Join a rapidly rising star of comedy as she prepares for her first solo show! 

Jen Nolan is an up and coming working class comic hailing from east London.

Elaine Robertson: Delulu

Elaine is famous. Elaine is the worst person in the world. Elaine saw Bootsy Collins on a child's bike outside a Dominoes in Gateshead* *None of these things are true. Elaine Robertson is Delulu.

It is no wonder that Elaine Robertson gets a bit delulu.But the actual, psychosis sort that makes you think you’ve seen a funk legend on a child’s bicycle in Gateshead.

In her hit award winning Edinburgh Festival show, come see this ‘groundbreaking’ comedian take you on one of the most hilariously moving journeys you’ll ever go on.

From working in a care home during the pandemic, to being a pub singing princess impersonator, this is a stand up show that is not like any other you’ve seen.

It’s a show that leaves you feeling different to when you arrive.

Holly Hudson: Fine, Actually

Holly Hudson: Fine, Actually

Tickets HERE

Fine, Actually is 50 minutes of stand-up and storytelling about a midlife American woman abroad trying to explain her country of origin without becoming personally responsible for it. Cultural collision, reinvention, dating, family, ageing, and the very specific modern experience of trying to stay composed while privately refreshing the news like you've been assigned to monitor the apocalypse. The political keeps crashing into the personal, which turns out to be the whole problem.

Holly Hudson came up on the London comedy circuit and has performed at venues including Laugh Factory Chicago, The Second City, and Zanies in the US. Originally from the American Midwest and now based between London and LA, she brings a sharp, politically charged take on midlife, Americans abroad, and the slow-motion implosion of the American experiment. Her sketches and stand-up clips have built an audience of 357K followers and earned more than 70M views online.

Sashi Perera - Pear Tree

Tickets HERE

Sashi’s surname - Perera - means pear tree in Portuguese. You won’t believe how mad Portugal gets if you mention why it’s a super common name in Sri Lanka hehe.

Pear Tree is a stand up comedy show about pear shaped events between Sri Lanka and Australia. It’s about family, love, homes, knives, kids and cats - spliced with a bit of geopolitics and singing. As with her last show Boundaries (now on YouTube) Sashi’s signature observations remain dedicated to taking absolutely nothing too seriously.

Sashi is a Sri Lankan Australian comedian, writer and recovering lawyer. After working with refugee organisations around the globe, she moved to Melbourne to do her masters and fell arse backwards into comedy. She’s now one of Australia’s fastest rising comedians, known for her sharp wit, unique international tales and bizarre insights.

In 2023, she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Since then, she’s sold out shows in six countries, opened for Hannah Gadsby and made a slew of television appearances including Channel 10’s Have You Been Paying Attention and ABC’s Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee. Her memoir Standstill was published by Penguin Random House in August 2025.

James Roque - Mano Po

Getting older can be confronting. Especially when your culture can't stop reminding you.

In Filipino tradition, a mano po is a gesture where an elder places their hand on a younger person’s forehead to offer a blessing. It’s a sweet, respectful custom… unless you’re the one suddenly expected to be the “elder.”


In 2025, award winning Filipino-Kiwi comedian James Roque received his first request for a 'mano po' from a teenager, which sent him spiralling into a full blown existential crisis. Has he really done all he can to earn the right to give a "mano po"?

A show about wrestling with getting older, finding solace from unexpected places and the funny stories that happen along the way. A new hour from the Kiwi-Pinoy Comedy Boy, served with his signature sweet-and-salty storytelling

Grace Jarvis has fallen in love and is unbearably happy (now). It has been very stressful. 


Australian comedy's number one autistic glamourpuss is back with a delightful new hour of trademark Jarvis oddball stand-up. She's getting dragged backwards through a hedge and onto stage to perform some brand-new carefully crafted, deceivingly dark and genuinely funny stand-up comedy about feeling in trouble for existing, the cultural distrust being perpetrated by fairy floss flavoured vapes and following The Rules to her own detriment. There's something, if not for everyone, then for a large spectrum of freaks.

On the face of it Andrew is utterly delighted with himself these days; he’s happy, confident, can drive a golf ball 300 yards and is excited for the future as a newlywed. Barely touch that surface and the reality is he cannot get out of his own way and continues to make utterly bewildering decisions with hilarious consequences. Join him for his new show with tales of pet ownership, constant inability to read a room, and his unrelenting frustration and annoyance with the world around him. Everything is fine, until it’s not!

Lawrence Dodd: This Can't Be It

Tickets HERE

This Can’t Be It is a chaotic, playful, clown “piece” delving into our futile efforts to make sense of life, through the eyes of a neurodivergent man who is incapable, yet desperate, to become someone.

Perpetually derailed, deluded, and paralysed by overwhelm, Big Loz Dodd arrives to do something very special indeed - something that might just deliver the kind of profound insight that shakes our ‘contemporary situation’ to its core.

Blending performance art and contemporary clowning, This Can’t Be It is a semi-improvised, feverish & open hearted exploration of how we stay open to the mystery when everything is closing us down. 

Directed by Lara Ricote and with Rachael Dobbie on tech.

What people have said about Lawrence Dodd:

“a display of nuanced character comedy at its glorious best” ★★★★★- Reviews Hub (Swans not Scones)

“A rare natural talent”  ★★★★ – Theatre and Art Reviews

“explosively endearing and deeply vulnerable in equal measure” ★★★★ - Everything Theatre

“His comedic timing is razor-sharp” - Everything Theatre

“Bone-deep funny” – Reviews Hub (Brighton Fringe)

“Oozes originality and innovation … like watching a quiet existential crisis unfold in front of me” – Dan Jones

Amy Matthews: Definitions Of Toast

Tickets HERE

Little Wander in association with PBJ Management present...

Amy doesn’t get angry and she’s starting to feel left out, so she’s on a quest to feel fury; from what she can discern from the world around her, it appears to be all the rage… literally.


Amy is navigating the joy of her first queer relationship whilst dusting herself off from a string of several alcoholic partners. You’d think she’d have plenty to be cross about, and yet, whilst everyone seems to be more furious than ever, she just can’t seem to tap into her own anger - so she’s challenged herself to learn.

This lack of wrath may also have something to do with a processing lag that is becoming increasingly disruptive - and comical - in her life. Her emotions seemed to be delivered by carrier pigeon, if they arrive at all. 

This is a show about being Best Supporting Actor in one’s own life, queer joy, and how a potion from 2002 cursed the world.

Sofie won Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival in 2015 and she thinks you all stopped talking about it too soon. Remember TV? Yeah, she did that too. You may know her from that, but it's more likely you know her from the internet, where she's been both funny and angry at times.  

 

Sofie is from Denmark, but learned English at the age of 4, just so she could go to the UK in 2027 and do stand-up.   

 

Anyways, despite being constantly online from 2016-2024, she never saw it coming that the fascists would be taking over. She did so many feminist tweets to prevent it. How can this be happening?  

 

Sofie has always tried to do the right thing, but now she has to ask herself: Did she do the right thing? And what will she say, with her last remaining freedom of speech? It better be good. She better be good. 

 

"Eye-catchingly odd and disarmingly honest" (Independent).

She unleashes Shaun Guff - “Yorkshire‑based robustness and sunny charm” ★★★★ (The Scotsman) - in a dangerously stupid seminar brimming with joyful audience interaction. A Times Critics’ Choice (2021), she’s praised for “Winning humour and infectious irreverence” ★★★★ (The Stage), “Infectious wit” ★★★★ (The List) and is a prime example that - “Nothing is perfect” ★★★★★ (Broadway Baby).

Now, after another sell-out Fringe in 2025, Harry is ready to shed his shell again. Because that’s what Lobster is all about — change. Lobsters grow by breaking out of their hard shells, hiding away while a new one forms. It’s vulnerable, uncomfortable, a bit of a mess… and completely unavoidable. Over the past few years, Harry and his family have had to change shells more than once. From moving to a “up-and-coming” postcode, to travelling the world, falling in love, becoming housemates with his own dad, and navigating puberty in 2025, Lobster dives into life’s inevitable transformations with honesty, heart, and relentless laughs. Already earning a 4½-star review and called “British comedy at its best” (One4Review ★★★★½), Lobster is packed with the sharp observational storytelling, likeability, and non-stop jokes that have made Harry a favourite of audiences across the UK and beyond.

The critically acclaimed debut show about suffering (and smiling) from Nigerian stand-up and star of Saturday Night Live UK Ayoade Bamgboye. Winner of Best Newcomer at the 2025 Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

Following her sold-out run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Swings and Roundabouts comes to a city near you.

Burdened by the gift of sight, a primeval awareness that something is not quite right, and almost three accents, she'll ask life's big questions and provide absolutely no answers.

Born in London, raised in Lagos, sacked in Budapest, the poor woman has been there and done that – and to what end?

Swings and Roundabouts is about going nowhere fast, being too British to stop apologising, and too Nigerian to stop shouting.

Winner of NextUp’s Biggest Award In Comedy 2025.

Nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2025 ISH Awards.

As seen in her own Channel 4 Playground.
