Jason Byrne - The Ironic Bionic Man 2024    star_border 7
Jason Byrne, half man, half natural disaster. Over the course of his accident-prone life Jason has been rebuilt from the ground up. Bits removed, metal pins, new knee, and an eye that’s been treated, over the years, by the medical profession like a game of Pong. This all culminated last year with heart surgery, twice! He enjoyed it so much he went back for more. Join the most gifted live comedian on the planet as he invites you to laugh at his misfortune. If he tried to say Schadenfreude, he’d probably dislocate his tongue.

Lloyd Griffith: One Tonne of Fun 2023
After Lloyd’s last tour was interrupted by ‘you know what’ and ended up lasting 8 years or so, he’s BACK with a brand-new, fresh stand-up show for 2023.

Since school Lloyd has always been a show off, doing anything he can to make people laugh, and 20-odd years later, nothing’s changed.

Laura Lexx: Mother(figure) 2023
It’s 5 years since Laura’s critically acclaimed show 'Trying', her searingly honest, achingly funny experience of depression and trying for a baby. Since then she’s written another hit show, published two books, conquered TV comedy, created two hit podcasts, oh, and gained zero babies (unless you count the dog, which no one does). In this brand new show Laura explores life in the continuation of being childless; trying to be body positive about a body you loathe and trying not to get too attached to pigeons.
