Lineup:

Alison Spittle: Soup in Progress (WIP)

Comedian du jour, Alison Spittle is simmering with jokes and probably rage, she doesn't know what the burning sensation is. This silly goose has appeared on Off Menu, You're Dead To Me, Guilty Feminist, The Gargle and co-host of BBC Sounds Wheel of Misfortune podcast with Kerry Katona. Tour support for Fern Brady and Maria Bamford. Full sell-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 and voted one of British Comedy Guide's best reviewed shows.
'An hour of near faultless material' **** (Skinny).
'Had the full house rolling in the aisles' **** (Daily Express).
'Just hilarious' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

Stuart Laws: Is That Guy Still Going? (WIP)

New stand up comedy show about getting married, being middle of the road and trying to be more honest. 'You'll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes per minute rate... like a one-man episode of Arrested Development' (Fest). As seen in Prime series Grave New World, you might know him from his viral twitter thread about a woman moving dirty plates onto another woman's table, his impression of Michael Caine saying 'never' in Batman or the time he phoned a number on the side of a horse.

“He’s fantastically funny, leaving you wondering how he possibly comes up with these structural masterpieces” EdFestMag

“Laws is on top form at the moment, talking nonsense of the highest order… a chronically funny stand up” TimeOut

Hosted by Joe Dehuai.
