Pierre Novellie: Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things 2024
Award-winning comedian Pierre Novellie’s latest stand-up special explores why he finds most things a 6/10 - and why he doesn’t see eye-to-eye with anyone else on what makes a 0/10 or a 10/10

The Debuts 2024
A documentary following five comedians: Amy Gledhill, Sikisa, Josh Jones, Lily Phillips and Anthony DeVito at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022. A funny, intimate showcase of what it's like for comedians to bring their debut show to the festival.

Milo Edwards: Voicemail 2024
Milo Edwards hasn’t received a voicemail in some time. He’d like to talk about that, and quite a lot else. Nominated for Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival 2023, as well as having critically-acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Voicemail is a stand-up show which examines life, death, politics and the answering machine.

Ivo Graham: Live From The Bloomsbury Theatre 2024
Lockdown is over, the boy is back in town: after two years of global/domestic chaos, Ivo blasts through his most urgent concerns of the early 2020s, plus a few from the late 1990s, in a critically acclaimed show ("mastering his craft with motormouthed finesse...if self-deprecation were a sport, Graham would have a gold medal round his neck": The Times), beautifully filmed in London at the end of his "My Future, My Clutter" UK tour, with a freshly ironed shirt, a handful of schoolboy stories and a really quite outlandish amount of lamps on the stage.

Nish Kumar: Your Power, Your Control 2023 star_border 9

Stuart Laws Is All In 2023
Stuart Laws ('You'll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes per minute rate... like a one-man episode of Arrested Development' Fest) acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe and tour show Stuart Laws is All In. The show sees Stuart reflect on the day his life changed forever: when he risked everything in a Las Vegas poker tournament. Is he a winner or a loser? Can he burn the candle at both ends? And has he been infected by the Willennium Bug? A show about making difficult decisions, choosing different paths and gettin' jiggy wit' it from the leftfield observationalist and intricate gag-weaver. “A deliriously fun and nonsensical hour full of tiny little treats, Stuart Laws Is All In defiantly stands proud as a show not to be taken seriously in any way, shape or form.” ★★★★ The List

Bobby Mair: Cockroach 2022
This special was filmed at the end of the Edinburgh Festival at Carnivore. Outside of the festival, this room is used for storage but I thought it looked pretty cool. This show is the culmination of doing hundreds of sets coming out of the pandemic and loving stand-up again after a longer break than l've ever taken in 17 years of doing stand up.

Mark Watson: The Infinite Show 2022
Inspired by the mostly alarming state of the world his children are growing up in, and a genuine, urgent desire to do something about it, this show is about empathy. 99 percent of the world's population is made up of other people: why can't we understand them? As scrawny and impassioned as ever, one of the UK's most beloved and thinnest acts offers some suggestions, with his usual notoriously high joke- and-rant-per-minute rate.

Pierre Novellie: Quiet Ones 2022
South African-born Manxman Pierre Novellie is anything but quiet when it comes to emergency trousers, the apocalypse, anatomically-correct Halloween costumes, and Christmas Day with The Queen. “Quiet Ones” was recorded in September 2021 at the Pleasance Theatre in London.

On December 17th 2019, I, James Acaster, filmed my 2019 tour show Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 at EartH in Hackney. It was a show about the best year of my life (1999) and the worst year of my life (2017), I wore a very nifty jacket for it and I looked extremely cool.

A ward-winning musical comedian and improviser Rachel Parris gives us her fresh, life- affirming collection of songs, stories and stand-up here in the live recording of her hit solo show Best Laid Plans. Reflecting on childhood hopes for the adults we thought we’d become, and sticking a joyful middle finger up at depression in the process, Rachel’s deft moves between jazz riffs, musical theatre, and the perfect response to that Flight of the Concords song, will have you tapping your feet as you laugh through the tears. Named The Independent’s ‘One to Watch’, Chortle award nominee Rachel’s songs are regularly played on BBC Radio 4 and BBC 6 Music. All together now: “No house, no husband, no child, no wage? No problem!”
