Rhod Gilbert:
Rob Beckett:
When life gives Rhod lemons…

But Rhod’s not bitter; he’s bouncing back and feeling remarkably zesty.

Gary Meikle: Neurospicy
Sara Pascoe: I Am A Strange Gloop
Josh Widdicombe:
Not My Cup of Tea
On 23 January 2024 I was diagnosed as being neurodivergent which was kind of a surprise to me, funny enough not to anyone that knows me. So come join me in a show where I’ll give you a 1st hand insight from my delusional eyes to what goes on in my ever expanding mind.
Have you ever been awake in the middle of the night and thought something so smart and astute that you couldn’t wait for the world to wake up so you could tell them? THIS SHOW IS THAT THOUGHT.
In that it doesn’t make much sense and is a bit weird on reflection.
Josh Widdicombe is back on tour, not again! By now he has almost certainly mastered the art of stand-up, either that or he has wasted the last 15 years of his life. Come along and decide for yourself. Expect it to be shorter and with lower production values than Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, but funnier and with more references to tea.
