Better Call Steffen
From delivering his first punchline to becoming a fixture on the comedy scene, Steffen Peddie’s journey has been anything but ordinary.
His initial foray into comedy led him to support roles on children’s TV, but the lure of professional wrestling took him down a path of high-flying antics and theatrical showdowns for a decade. A momentous performance at Viz Magazine’s 25th- anniversary celebration marked his pivot back to comedy, leading to a successful re-entry into stand-up.
His return to the spotlight was met with acclaim, most notably through a starring role in the BBC sitcom “Hebburn”, which won hearts domestically and internationally. Steffen’s dynamic presence extends beyond acting, having hosted on radio and participated in numerous TV adverts and short films.

Sooz Kempner
The award-winning, viral sensation is hitting the road with a brand-new tour bringing together her sell-out fringe 2023 hit and its much anticipated 2024 follow-up.
As the year 2000 approached Sooz was about to turn 15 and the PlayStation 2 was about to launch…it was a new beginning for the world. But with the Millennium Bug was the world also about to end!? Now, almost a quarter of a century later, things feel eerily similar… Sooz is looking at class through the lens of doing her GCSEs in 2000 at a state comp…while knowing all about dressage. Politics, horses, EastEnders and the Millennium Bug. A show for anyone who remembers the year 2000 or had big dreams as a kid.

She is a regular collaborator with Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer the Opera, Made in Dagenham) and hosts two podcasts, Mystery on the Rocks and QueenPod, the official podcast for the band Queen.

Alfie Brown: Open Hearted Human Enquiry
The award-winning comedian Alfie Brown is back with his first show since the fabric of his reality disintegrated. In this show Alfie separates his failures from his misfortunes and arrives at the conclusion that ‘life is beautiful’. Captivating and subversive stand-up from one of the very best in the country.
Tom Stade: Risky Business
Tom’s funny and today’s funny don’t always see eye to eye, but that’s cool; it’s not Tom’s way to follow the herd. He much prefers to take the path less travelled (some smart guy once said that).
Join this independent spirit and irrepressible force of nature, as he airdrops his ingenious and unflinching comedy into an ever-changing minefield.
It’s a risky business navigating the tightrope of today’s times but Tom’s approaching it with his usual gusto. Without risk there is no reward.

Tony Law: The Law Also Rises
Multi-award-winning super loon Tony Law returns with a new show of nonsense and absurdity. Some weird history and ghosts, and cats and dogs and wars and ducks and Britophilia.
The older man with a childish mind and a naughty streak is always entertaining and original and naturally funny but not afraid to do simple shouty silly voices. A whirlwind of surreal farm boy hardcore whimsy.
