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

Gail M reviewed Sasha Ellen which happened on 2:00pm on Sun 19th Jun 2022.

Unfortunately, Sasha was held up by trains and couldn't make it. But we enjoyed the others who filled in at the last minute. Gorgeous venue. Lovely organisers. Bar well stocked

Ray N reviewed Alasdair Beckett–King which happened on 7:30pm on Fri 17th Jun 2022.

an excellent work in progress gig, Alasdair was very good explained the process and tried out his new material and it all went well, a bigger audience would have been better, but it is a small venue, but it was an intimate jig and it all went very well
