JACK DEE – Off The Telly

Join Jack Dee for an evening of entertainment (food and beverages not included) in his new
stand-up tour.

“In these difficult and uncertain times people need hope – a ray of sunshine to brighten
their day. And that’s very much where I come in” says Jack.

Star of TV sitcoms Bad Move, Lead Balloon and Josh, Jack also hosts the legendary Radio 4
show I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. Additional credits include presenting Jack Dee’s Helpdesk on BBC Two, C4’s The Jack Dee Show, ITV’s Jack Dee’s Saturday Night, BBC’s Jack Dee’s Happy Hour and Jack Dee Live at the Apollo. “In fact,” explains Jack, “I’ve probably appeared in every TV show with my name in the title”.

Other sidelines include Motivational Speaking, which Jack describes as “Basically a total
waste of time, talking to losers, but the cash is decent” and then adds “Don’t print that”. It’s so hard to tell when he’s being serious.

In recognition of his charity work, Jack was denied an OBE in 2015.

Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ahir Shah returns to stand-up with a new show about significance, insignificance, and scurvy. Featuring his signature blend of philosophical inquiry, personal examination, and sweet gags, Live promises to be the single greatest work of art ever named after a probably apocryphal quote from Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
 
Ahir’s last show, Dots, was recorded as a special for HBO Max (albeit after a 14 month delay brought about by events you may recall). That show was about uncertainty. Ideally, this tour will end in a way that is less on the nose.
 
As seen on Mock The Week, Live At the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and The Mash Report.

Bumper Blyton is a riotous Enid Blyton parody show for grown-ups performed by a cast of some of the UK’s most experienced and best-known improvisers. Created by Amy Cooke-Hodgson (founder of Edfringe and Multi Award-winning West End hit Austentatious) and Jonah Fazel (BAFTA winning History Bombs) Bumper Blyton is chock full of innuendo and lashings of puns, performed in vintage costume with music and songs.

With a multi-award-winning cast of some of the UK's best-known improvisers from stage and screen including; The Comedy Store, Showstoppers the Improvised Musical and Doctor Who, and two consecutive sell-out runs at Edinburgh Fringe alongside successful 2019 UK & Europe tour, Bumper Blyton is fast becoming unmissable.

In this outrageously camp show, (that he was going to call Bed Knobs and Knee Pads but was advised might not sell too well in Harrogate), renowned homosexual Julian Clary will bare his soul as never before in the interests of light entertainment. 

He’ll murder some well known songs along the way, no doubt, read you a sneak preview from his next memoir A Night At the Lubricant and make withering remarks about punters foolish enough to sit in the front row. You know the kind of thing. It’s the only life he knows. Don’t miss out.

Praise for Dylan Moran:
 

    The Independent
 
“He's punch-drunk, pissed off and sick of it all, but determined to at least wring as much black humour out of proceedings”

     The Telegraph
 “Trumping Shakespeare, he reduces life to four ages: “Child, failure, old and dead”. Faced with one-liners as killing as that the world suddenly seems a better place.”

     The Guardian
“His comedy takes on an existential dimension, as tubby, nicotine-starved, emasculated Moran comes to represent the struggles we all wage for meaning and connection”

     Evening Standard
“High-octane riffs from Irish master of grumpiness…spellbinding”

     The Times
“In his heightened ideas and vocabulary, Moran compulsively swerves clichés as he builds up layers of laughs… funny and fascinating, and utterly deserving of his place in the modern classics'

Now they are back with their biggest ever UK national tour, poking around all the classic topics of the day: over-thinking, alien lovers and fringes.

Following the success of his huge sell out 2019 UK tour, Lost Voice Guy is heading back out on the road to put a smile on the faces of people up and down the country once again.

The Britain’s Got Talent winner will poke fun at his life living as a disabled person in a post-apocalyptic world, as he tries to cope with the fame and fortune since his memorable victory. From the highs of meeting 50% of The Chuckle Brothers to the lows of being called ‘him off The X Factor’, and everything in between.

The stand-up comedian might not have a Geordie accent yet, and he might still sound like a posh version of Robocop, but his comedy is sure to leave you speechless.

As featured on America’s Got Talent: The Champions, The Royal Variety Performance, Live At The Apollo, The Last Leg, The One Show, and star of Ability on Radio 4.

HOT MESS both enlightens and lightens audiences about climate change. 

It answers questions like ‘Are We Screwed?’ and ‘What Can I Do About It?’ and explains why we’re playing the world’s worst Choose Your Own Adventure. Find out why we are fighting to save proper big chips, and how to solve climate change we need actual snakes on a plane and a new reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ Plans for Loft Insulation. After all, why does the end of the world need to be so depressing? 

Al Murray The Pub Landlord: Gig For Victory
Brand new show

As the dust settles and we emerge blinking into the dawn of a new year, the men and women of this great country will need answers. Answers that they know they need, answers to questions they never knew existed.

Steeped in the deep and ancient barroom wisdom of countless lock ins, the Pub Landlord is there to show the way.  Wherever you are, he will - within sensible travel limits and theatre booking policy - come, offering people thirsty for common sense a full pint of the good stuff.

The debut show of rising star and “very funny” (Guardian) Chloe Petts touring the UK for the first time! A brilliantly sharp live performer and "compelling presence" (Steve Bennett, Chortle), she is one of the most exciting acts on the UK scene.

Fresh from supporting Ed Gamble on his UK Tour, Petts uses her trademark cerebral “laddishness” to examine her desperate attempts at living in the moment, the darts and her (strictly non-romantic) love for men.

As seen on Hypothetical (Dave), Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club (ITV) and The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2).

Do not miss Petts' debut tour!

Count Arthur Strong presents himself in….. ‘And This Is Me!’

A twentieth anniversary tour!

After many years of giving his wonderful lecture talks of his he does, Count Arthur Strong has at last bowed to substantial pubic demand and allowed himself be talked into making the show about himself for once. And that had never occurred to him before because of him being highly magnanimous. From his breakthrough Edinburgh Fringe show ‘Forgotten Egypt’ in 2002, to talking about himself in 2022. Arthur has two decades of memories from his ten national tours,15 years of his multi Award winning radio show and three series of his BAFTA nominated TV sitcom. “Pure genius and pure tribute to the golden age of vaudeville”. Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard 'At every turn, his performance gives us something to marvel at' - Brian Logan, The Guardian

Catherine Bohart loves control, hates change and is a serial planner. It’s been an interesting couple of years…

A blisteringly funny new stand-up show filled with horrendous life advice, cheery nihilism and reluctant self-discovery from one of the UK and Ireland’s most exciting comics.

As seen and heard on The Mash Report, Immaculate (Comedy Special) on Amazon Prime Video, A League Of Their Own, Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Roast Battle, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier, The News Quiz and The Guilty Feminist Podcast.

ASHLEY BLAKER: 6.5 CHILDREN

On the back of his BBC Radio 4 series, Ashley Blaker: 6.5 Children is hitting the road in 2022! 

The show brings a whole new perspective to the subject of parenting. That is because as parents of six children, Ashley and his wife are trying to raise a family in a world that is only really set up for having two. What is more, the Blakers’ children are not just any kids. Three have special needs – two autistic boys and an adopted girl with Down Syndrome – and Ashley sensitively finds the funny in both raising children with disabilities and adoption.

Ashley Blaker is an internationally acclaimed comedian, seen and heard on TV and radio across the world. He has performed on five continents including tours of the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Israel and Australia.
 
Following multiple sell out shows throughout the UK, 2018 saw Ashley make both his Off-Broadway and Edinburgh Fringe debut seasons, both receiving acclaim and playing to capacity audiences. In 2020 he returned to New York with ‘Goy Friendly’ which ran at the prestigious SoHo Playhouse.

RHOD GILBERT: The Book of John

Rhod was in the middle of a massive tour when COVID 19 brought curtains down in theatres everywhere, but now he's back on the road and adding a load more extra dates due to phenomenal demand.

This show sees Rhod as funny as ever, but like never before.  It’s a little bit raw, very personal, and brutally honest; no more lies, no more nonsense.  This is Rhod, but different, the same, but not.  It’s a show about hitting rock bottom, and just when you think things can’t get any worse, you meet a bloke…a bloke called John.      

As seen on 'Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience', ‘Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains’ ‘Would I Lie to You?’, 'Taskmaster’, ‘Qi’, 'Live at The Apollo', 'Have I Got News for You?’, and much more…

Described as 'a truly gifted stand up' by The Sunday Times, join Joanne as she revisits her
irreverent and critically acclaimed show The Prosecco Express.

Due to a relentless ageing process, Joanne is suddenly in her late thirties with no husband,
no kids, no pension and no plan. She is full of questions: if she doesn’t birth anything, who will
be obligated to watch her die so she doesn’t have to do it alone? Can she start a GoFundMe
page to get a golden tomb built for single people to get buried in together, or do we all just get
thrown into a mass grave and covered in cat hair? When a man on a dating app identifies as
'spiritual', is it safe to assume he has the personality of a spoon? If you do all your drinking in
the bath, can you write it off as self-care? 'Dark, hilarious, strangely reassuring' [The
Independent], Joanne is on a mission to solve absolutely nothing.

THE HIT COMEDY PODCAST IS BACK ON THE ROAD IN SUMMER 2022 WITH A BRAND-NEW SHOW 

Following their recent sold-out UK tour, the creative duo behind hilarious and much-loved podcast Help I Sexted My Boss, William Hanson and Jordan North, have announced a nationwide UK and Ireland tour for summer 2022.

William Hanson and Jordan North are unlikely best friends. William's a posh etiquette expert, and Jordan's an expert in all things common. In their hit comedy podcast, Help I Sexted My Boss, their worlds collide as they help you navigate the everyday problems of modern life. 

Jordan North hosts the flagship drive time show with Vick Hope on BBC Radio 1. He has recently been back on ITV screens with Beverley Callard his co star on I'm A Celebrity's in Destination Wedding. His years of practice in the industry mean that he is now very good at talking for large periods of time. Those words are often more easily relatable than those spoken by his opposite number. 

William Hanson teaches etiquette. He travels the world teaching people how to behave at every possible social or diplomatic occasion. From royal families to leading business people to feral TV personalities, William has refined them all. Now his biggest challenge comes in the form of his good friend Jordan North.

This Christmas William and Jordan have introduced their very own Help I Sexted My Boss advent calendar, releasing daily episodes up until the big day! Subscribe now. Not only that, but the boys have also released their very own cocktail, their favoured Gin & Dubonnet in collaboration with The Bottled Bartender, available here 

With over 5 million listens, the podcast promises whatever the conundrum, they are here to help, and this brand-new tour will be no different. 

Tour extension due to popular demand!

Due to the continued success of Ed Byrne’s “If I’mHonest…” UK tour this additional date has been added in response toenthusiastic public demand.

Since storming the Edinburgh Festival in 2019, thismasterclass in observational comedy has been filling venues across the country withavailable tickets in short supply.

A TV household name, you may have seen Ed on Live AtThe Apollo (Host, BBC), Mock The Week (BBC), The Pilgrimage (BBC), TopGear (BBC) and QI (BBC).

In this, her sixth international tour, you’ll learn about what happens when your mouth seals shut, how to throw poo over a wall, trying to lose weight but only losing the tip of your finger, a surprisingly funny smear test, and how truly awful a floatation tank can actually be.

Sarah has spent the last year writing jokes and growing her backside. She can’t wait to get back on the road and make you laugh.
