Jeff is bringing his unique and hilarious cultural insights on the road for the first time in a career that has spanned almost three decades and earned him a reputation as one of the greatest living comedians the country has to offer.

Highly anticipated and long overdue. This will be an hour of stand up comedy that you do not want to miss.

“It should be made law that every British Citizen must go and see Jeff Innocent. He’s that funny.” – Evening Standard

“Jeff Innocent delivers a masterclass in stand up comedy every time he performs” – The Times

Joe Pasquale: The New Normal

40 YEARS OF CACK…CONTINUED!

Joe Pasquale has been showing off on stage for over 40 years and he’s bringing his favourite things for another airing to show that things have never been normal… if you have ever wondered why chicken breasts don’t have nipples? Then this is the show for you…

Show includes Q&A

Lucy Beaumont: The Trouble & Strife

It’s time for the wife to tour now..

Award winning stand up comedian BEFORE she met Jon Richardson, Lucy Beaumont is going to let loose and let slip on her roller coaster world.  Life through the Beaumont lens is more surreal than you could ever imagine.

 

Comedy Hypnotist

Baga Chipz: Material Girl ‘Much Betta’ Tour

Join Baga Chipz MBE; actress, singer-songwriter, comedian, ex-Page 3 Model, Ladies Darts Champion, professional shoplifter and MILF, as she embarks on a nationwide theatre tour coming to a town near you! Due to the success of last year’s tour, the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star is coming back bigger, MUCH BETTA and very, very harsh! Expect hilarious outrageous crass blue comedy, live vocals, dazzling costumes, drunken antics and the tale of a single mom from the Black Country who became one of the nation’s best loved stars. Hosted by the fabulous gender bender Muther Tucker, this is one show not to be missed! This is an 18+ show so don’t bring ya kids!

Daliso Chaponda: Feed This Black Man Again

Daliso did his first show, ‘Feed This Black Man’ 20 years ago. The jokes were mediocre, there was a rap about poverty in the middle (which was as offensive as you might imagine) and the big finale involved a sandwich on stage.

20 years later, Daliso has done the ‘Royal Variety Performance’, written and performed four series of ‘Citizen of Nowher’e on BBC Radio 4, been a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ finalist, toured nationwide and abroad… all sorts of things the 22-year-old Chaponda would never have imagined possible.

So, Feed This Black Man Again is a do-over, as the now widely-loved comic revisits the themes of that ancient debut show with the considerably enhanced comic talents that two decades’ experience brings you. Along the way he’ll examine the huge differences between the way you think life will be at twenty, and the reality. Probably no sandwich at the end this time.

Freddy Quinne: In Sickness

Turns out laughter isn’t always the best medicine.

He might now be eating like a vegan, but rest assured he doesn’t tell jokes like one.

As seen on Have a Word, ITV, and his acclaimed hit podcast Dead Men Talking.

Yes! Bobby Beckles is back on tour.

Smashing the life out of the M25, M1, M5 and any other road that’s in my way. From Bromley to Brisbane, my new show Giraffe is going worldwide.

Expectations on me: put on 3 stone from takeaways and post-show drinking.

Expectations of you: leave the gig happier than when you arrived.

My wife thinks it’s going to be tough for me to be away from the family and don’t get me wrong, I do love my children/podcast content providers… but I also enjoy a lie-in and a hotel buffet breakfast. I think I’ll cope.

What else is there to do? Sit next to your partner on the sofa scrolling TikTok in silence again? You did that the last three nights. See you there!

Host of Sky’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and Rob & Romesh Vs. He’s also the unmistakable voice of Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating and the smash-hit podcast Parenting Hell.

Laura Belbin

She’s loud, she swears, she’s inappropriate, and she’s the comedian behind the social media antics of Knee Deep In Life. She’s taking to the stage with her brand new show with one question, is there such a thing as too much???

Laura is the perfect tonic in a world of perceived perfection and filtered happiness. She says the things everyone is thinking but probably doesn’t often dares to say.

Her comedy is for those who chase the raw, filthy and honest truth over how life can really be and that with empowerment comes unity.

Laura is the bestselling author of Knee Deep In Life:  Wife, Mother, Realist, Why We’re Already Enough and No Shame:  How to Drop the  Guilt.
