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.

Viral social media sensation James B Partridge hits Hull with an evening of Primary School Assembly Bangers Live!

Join James for an evening of pure nostalgia, stepping back in time for some joyous singalong tunes to take you back to your Primary School days. You won’t have to sit cross-legged on the school hall floor, but you will be encouraged to sing along! As well as the assembly bangers, there will be other musical surprises, throwback mashups and comic reflections on growing up in the 90s.

James is a singing teacher and regularly performs across the UK and Europe. He has appeared on BBC Breakfast, Loose Women (ITV), Netflix (Cheat) and Vanessa Feltz show (TalkTV). He recently featured live on Jeremy Vine’s BBC Radio 2 show and BBC South East Today. His online videos have been written about in The Times, The Independent, Buzzfeed and featured in a number of podcasts. Radio appearances include: BBC Radio 2 with Scott Mills, BBC Radio Kent, BBC 5 Live, BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio Leicester, BBC Radio Lancashire, Absolute Radio and JackFM.

After two hugely successful national comedy tours, Dan Nightingale (host of the ‘Have A Word Podcast’) is doing something a little different in 2024: he’s hosting a run of shows with some of his favourite comedians on the bill.

With Dan doing what he does best and some of his very funny stand-up friends (or fiends) smashing sets… you won’t want to miss out; these shows will be the very best type of comedy mayhem.

Multi-award-winning comedian Ray Bradshaw is forever being told “you look just like my mate…” wherever he goes. It’s been happening for years and he’s worried about it. Either someone is cloning generic bald men or, there’s a ginger bearded bald man out there who’s doing a bad job of stalking Ray. In his brand-new show Doppelginger, Ray is going to use the latest in genetic research (the internet) to try and put an end to this once and for all. He’s on a quest to find the person who looks most like him.

Doppelginger is a funny heartwarming comedy show about a silly search for a man with an orange beard who’s follicly challenged. If you have a bald, ginger-bearded friend in their 30s (true at time of writing), then bring them along. You never know – they could be The One.

Ray’s last show Deaf Com One was a huge success and sold-out theatres across the world. The show was all about growing up with deaf parents and as a result every show of Doppelginger will have a BSL interpreter. Ray has previously supported John Bishop on his UK arena tour after John described him as ‘one of the best comedians in the country’.

Ian Smith (as heard on BBC Radio 4’s ‘The News Quiz’, ‘The Now Show’, ‘Just a Minute’ and co-hosting the ‘Northern News’ podcast) presents a show about stress, love and driving a tank with your hairdresser. Three classic and timeless themes.

Fresh from a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Ian Smith brings his critically acclaimed and multi-award-nominated show on tour.

Double Emmy Award winner and star of ‘Smack The Pony’ is doing her first-ever show.

Like most working mums, since her children were born, she didn’t have a moment for herself. Now free, she has tried new hobbies, new places, even attempting to get fit.

Difficult when your spirit animal is a sloth. With nowhere left to turn, she went on the road as a stand-up.

A show about family, marriage, and things that truly annoy her. It’s a show for everyone, even those passive-aggressive school mums.

“Her candid and relatable humour creates an atmosphere of shared laughter, making the entire performance an enjoyable comedic hour” EdFest Reviews

“Allen makes for confident and appealingly barbed company” The Guardian

“Punchlines delivered with a wicked, cutting execution” The Scotsman

“Every woman in this audience cheers her on and secretly males plans to jump into a suitcase and join her!” The List

“Allen sets to her her job with unrelenting fluency, she is thoroughly professional” Times

A delight to have comedian Hayley Ellis back with us this Spring.

Sharp, clever and very funny, with warmth, quick wit and the ability to ad-lib means she is one of the fastest-rising women in comedy.

It’s a show full of silly stories, observations and audience interactions. Including body confidence when ageing, family holidays, and dinosaurs.

As seen as Tour support for Sarah Millican, Jason Manford, Ellie Taylor and John Bishop
