Fiona Allen: On The Run

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.

Simon Brodkin: Screwed Up

After selling out 110 dates across the UK and Europe, Simon Brodkin, the world-famous prankster, Lee Nelson creator and most-watched British stand-up comedian on TikTok, brings his outrageous stand-up show to Hull City Hall.

The Times

“Screwed Up is a full-on rat-a-tat gag fest” ★★★★

Jo Caulfield: Here Comes Trouble

Voted ‘Comedians’ Comedian of The Year 2022’, Jo Caulfield is “quite simply, a damn funny woman.” (The Guardian)

Here Comes Trouble is 90 minutes of razor-sharp observations and scandalous one-liners, as Jo gets her claws into everything (and everyone) that annoys her.

From stories about arguing with strangers on trains to dealing with over- enthusiastic supermarket staff, and trying to recapture the magic in a long-term relationship to “helping” organise her newly divorced friend’s dating life, this is pure stand-up, delivered with nothing more than a microphone and a bad attitude.
