Copy event details

A glistening diamond hour of stand-up from “delusional trans comedian” Sam Nicoresti about love, insanity, and the hunt for the perfect skirt suit. Following a critical maelstrom of success at the Edinburgh Fringe, and three weeks of sold-out performances at London’s Soho Theatre, Sam finally brings an extended and revamped version of her breakout hit show Baby Doomer to the great unwashed (i.e. goes on tour). From getting stuck in a dress in a TK Maxx to finding love between the standing stones of Cornwall, through sperm banks, Lord of the Rings figurines, and queer cat names, Sam Nicoresti examines life's most vital question: can you ever hope to find the perfect skirt suit?

Baby Doomer is the follow-up to the acclaimed Wokeflake. “One of the definitive documents of the trans experience in stand-up.” Chortle. 

“Baby Doomer is one of the sharpest, funniest, most exciting hours of comedy at the Fringe” ★★★★★ The Telegraph 

“Uproariously funny, life-affirming, angry, dumb, insightful and political all at once” ★★★★.5 Chortle ★★★★★ The List ★★★★★ One4Review ★★★★ The Guardian  

★★★★ The Times ★★★★ The Scotsman ★★★★ Fest ★★★★ Three Weeks 

★★★★ The Skinny

Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events

Alfred M reviewed Barry Ferns which happened on 8:45pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

Barry obviously an intelligent comic good at thinking on his feet. This event declared to be a 'workshop' but I didn't see to what end. Maybe trying out new material but lots of audience interaction which was very friendly but pushed things this way and that.

Alfred M reviewed Paul Merryck: Lies, Alibis & Filthy Stories which happened on 7:30pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

Paul seemed a bit rusty after the pandemic layoff but he was a very engaging personality, not fazed at all by the small turnout. Good idea having a guest comic for 10 mins mid-set. I enjoy seeing how different comics operate. Paul seemed to enjoy himself, so did we.

Matt R reviewed Jed Salisbury: Millennial Falcon which happened on 10:00pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

Really funny. Didn't refer to his weight as a central part of the show- he was funny in his own right.
