What’s on

Wed 29 Oct • 8pm • Admission £17 • Comedy

A brand new stand-up show from Angela Barnes, star of Mock The Week and Live at The Apollo.

Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.
This hilarious show has some stories of success and sound logic, but mostly features stories of unmitigated failure, a distinct lack of wisdom, a little bit of German and loads of jokes. Award winning comedian Angela’s last tour Hot Mess received critical acclaim and was filmed as a special available on ITVX. Angela has also appeared on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC’s House of Games and is a regular guest on Radio 4’s The News Quiz. Angela also co-hosts the popular comedy history podcast We Are History.

“She’s just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic” The Guardian

Michelle de Swarte is back with her entourage of trademark razor-sharp wit and no-holds-barred storytelling.

After the main event’s highs and lows, Michelle wonders what to do after the party. She’s heading to the afters for some brutally honest oversharing about life before social media, trying to scrape the barrel of youth, how to know when too much filler is too much, breaking down the cost difference of “party powder” to powdered greens, whether tarot card readers replace actual therapy and when is a good time to pregame perimenopause. Michelle is here to share all the fu@k ups, so you don’t have to.

Star and writer-creator of BBC’s critically acclaimed Spent, Michelle De Swarte has been seen on Sky/HBO’s The Baby, Amazon’s Backstage with Katherine Ryan and The Duchess on Netflix, as well as Live at the Apollo and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.  Michelle was recently named one of Variety’s 10 Brits to Watch for 2025.

After a phenomenal, sold-out, international tour, plus, a second round of supporting Milton Jones, the man who asked us, “Do you ski?” is turning everything upside down and asking, “Do you scuba?”

In a world full of relentless clickbait, online distractions, and brain rotting content, Tom’s racing brain finally became too much for him.

Having left the Western world behind, Tom found himself in Indonesia where he plunged into a journey of self-discovery. He submerged himself as far down in the ocean as possible, while asking the most profound questions of what truly makes someone who they are.

And now he’s bringing his discoveries to you.

It’s time to go “Deep”

Stevie Martin (Taskmaster, Mitchell & Webb’s brand new sketch show, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, The Horne Section TV Show) has been doing online comedy for a while (45 million views worldwide) but is now returning to live comedy with her latest show, which sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and at Soho Theatre this year. It’s like her online stuff but she’ll be on a stage and you can’t pause her to get a snack (meats?). Also you have to sit in a specific room to watch it (please don’t bring your meats to this room).

Cop-turned-comedian Alfie returns with a brand-new show ahead of recording his BBC Radio 4 comedy It’s a Fair Cop.

Now you can experience the thrills, spills and laughter of making high-risk calls in the moment.
