Grace Jarvis : Getting Dragged Backwards Through a Hedge

Tickets HERE

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. 
One of Rolling Stone's 12 Must-See Comedy Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025. Tour Support for Aunty Donna 2025.


"Rising talent... commands the audience with charm and gusto" - The Guardian 


"Unique, compelling and very funny" - Rolling Stone


"A refreshing and unique perspective in amongst an ocean of generic stand-up" - Art Murmurs


"One of the smartest and funniest comedians coming up in Australia right now" - Zachary Ruane (Aunty Donna)

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!

Host of the Q Radio Breakfast Show and Star of The Two Jonnies Late Night Lock In (RTE), The Blame Game (BBC), Comedy Central Live, along with hit appearances on some of the biggest comedy podcasts in the UK and Ireland.

Lawrence Dodd: This Can't Be It

Tickets HERE

Come and see the show of your LIFETIME. It’s my (LOZ DODD) show—a special show like NO other. DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. Powerful AND urgent. What even is this, where are we going & how do we know what’s real? COME, you’ll CHANGE—GUARANTEED.

In his quest to make sense of everything, Loz discovers he knows nothing. In this disintegration, he tries to find meaning with whats left — himself, in a room, with others.

Part performance art, part contemporary clowning, This Can’t Be It is a semi-improvised, feverish & open hearted exploration of how we stay open—to mystery, to each other—in the midst of uncertainty and collapse. 

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

“A surreal act blurring the lines between performance art and comedy” – Betwixt Cabaret

“Jim Carey and Robin Williams… Loz Dodd has that same stage presence” - Theatre and Art Reviews

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.

As heard on: Off Menu

Rolling Stone 12 Rising Stars Edinburgh Fringe 2026.

Hello, Marty Gleeson whispers gently yet sternly right into your tiny stupid ear. Her hand stretches toward you, one eye lights up like a spark, the other one is dead behind it. ‘Come on.’ Gleeson growls. Unnerved but excited, you take her hand as she pulls you head first into show ‘Dog Ear’ You’ll see magpies like you’ve never seen, news reporters in unexpected places and flaw filled moments of humanity all the while asking yourself, how important is detail?

★★★★★ The Standard

In the hands of another comic, this is wacky silliness. In Marty Gleeson's hands, this is art.

★★★★★The Telegraph

Marty Gleeson is the most exciting discovery of this year’s Fringe. A fascinating show without a single predictable moment, every joke comes out of the blue.

★★★★ The Scotsman

Gleeson’s a rogue talent, a messer with the soul of an artist and the capricious wit of an inveterate trickster’

★★★★ The Skinny

It’s hard to pinpoint what's so intriguing about Gleeson’s approach but in her hands, it all feels new’

Gleeson has a comedic wisdom beyond her years.

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). 

"And the winner of the 2015 Best Newcomer Award is Sofie Hagen" (Freddie Flintoff, 2015).

Award-winning character comedian and actress Bebe Cave (“"One of the most exciting young voices in British comedy" - The New Statesman) explores historical female main character syndrome. This time it's the Victorian era, where men wear top hats and waistcoats and ladies don't have the vote yet. Good times! 

Through the lens of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, some very silly men who were very good at painting, and their most famous muses, Bebe skewers pretentious male artistry and the women they love to drown in "a uniquely gleeful, centuries spanning romp" (★★★★★ Chortle). Why are women such beautiful artistic objects, especially when they're dead, and why are the men who paint them so difficult and very much alive?

See this award-nominated, "Smart, slapstick and silly" (★★★★ The Guardian) comedy that is "a riotously funny demonstration of Cave's irresistible talent" (★★★★ The Scotsman).

Love Child is an intimate yet rowdy, personal yet electric, high-energy stand-up show from the “chest-achingly funny” (★★★★ Skinny) Kemah Bob. Join her on a hilariously unhinged tour through what it’s like to be a woman with your dad’s lips, a chaotic childhood with questionable parenting, the very real science of epigenetic baggage, and her attempts at navigating the relentless pressure to be a Good Grown Up™. 

ISH Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee 2024. 

As seen on QI, Richard Osman's House of Games, Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club, Comedy Central Live, Don't Hate The Playaz and Guessable. As heard on the Off Menu podcast.

James Roque - Mano Po

Tickets HERE

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

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.

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.

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.

With millions of views across social media and a reputation for his warm, easy-going stage presence, Harry has fast become one of the most in-demand comedians on the circuit today. Critics praised Grenade as “Modern observational storytelling at its best” (On The Mic), “Comically tight with relentless pace and quick delivery” (Ed Fest Mag ★★★★), and “An absolute blast” (The Reviews Hub ★★★★). 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. A regular at The Comedy Store and top clubs nationwide, Harry has also taken his comedy global, headlining The Laughter Factory in Dubai and The Comedy Lounge in Perth, and touring the Adelaide, Melbourne, and Brisbane Comedy Festivals as part of Mary Tobin Presents: Best of the Edinburgh Festival 2025. Praise for Harry Stachini: ★★★★★ Pepper & Salt ★★★★½ One4Review ★★★★ The Reviews Hub ★★★★ Ed Fest Mag ★★★★ Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe SELL-OUT EDINBURGH RUN 2024 & 2025 BEST SHOW NOMINATION – THE ISH EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARDS 2024
