Larry Dean and Brennan Reece have doubled up for an exclusive evening of brand-new comedy
Larry Dean: Some New Jokes
Three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee tries some new jokes.
As seen and heard on ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘Mock the Week’, ‘Michael McIntyre’s Big Show’ and ‘Shared Baggage’.
Brennan Reece – Me Me Me
Live at the Apollo. Roast Battle. Over 100 million views online. Everything was going perfectly for this cheeky Northern gobshite, until he got fired for telling a joke. A reeeeally bad one. Only joking. Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee. Joe Lycett and Micky Flanagan Tour Support.
Jokes, rants, politics, play and the occasional sing-song.
If you don’t know what he does ask your parents.
In his time he has won awards (current total is now officially ‘loads’), forced a politician to resign, changed laws on tax and protest, became the Guinness Book of Records world record holder for the number of protests in 24 hours, taken the police to court 3 times and won, walked the length of the Israeli Wall in the West Bank and generally mucked about trying to have fun and fuck the right people off.
This show is more of the above.
Following a sell-out UK and Ireland Spring tour, and after announcing a third run in London’s West End at The Gielgud Theatre, comic legend Frank Skinner adds extra tour dates in Autumn 2024 for his critically acclaimed new stand-up show,’30 Years of Dirt’.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT ’30 YEARS OF DIRT’
“A comedian so funny that it’s almost obscene. 30 Years of Dirt is a sparkling tour de force from a craftsman with exquisite control of his art.”
★★★★★ Dominic Maxwell, The Times
“he’s still got it… a comedy master… a masterclass in crowd work, with Skinner getting spontaneous laughs off every interaction…exquisite one-liners”
Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Skinner is never less than beadily alert…you come away happy that after 30 years Frank’s still dishing his dirt, and happier still that he can dish plenty more besides.”
Brian Logan, The Guardian
“immaculately constructed…Skinner’s crowdwork is as sharp as ever…he can spool out a yarn every bit as entertainingly as prime-era Billy Connolly.”

Magician and comedy performer Greg Chapman presents a show based around one of his favourite subjects – DINOSAURS!
It is a subject which many enjoy, and Greg takes a look at it from various angles and in ways that nobody would expect!
Who would win if a T. Rex fought a Triceratops?
Is Greg better at magic than a dinosaur?
Will Greg succeed in his goal of having a real dinosaur onstage?
‘Magic of the Dinosaurs’ is an entertaining performance for adults and families to enjoy, including comedy, magic, mentalism, storytelling, puppetry, and more, all coming together into a fun and exciting evening during which you may actually learn something as well!
Greg started as a child with a ‘Paul Daniel’s Magic Kit’, and discovered a real passion for magic in his early twenties while working as a comedy performer. He studied Physical Theatre at the Performing Arts University of Torino, read a mountain of magic books, and has now been touring shows for all ages in the UK and in Italy for nearly two decades.
In gaps between performances, for a few year he also helped to run Fossil Hunting Trips and talks near his home on the Isle of Wight, where he deepened his fascination with dinosaurs and built up his own modest collection of dinosaur finds. In 2021, Greg and his wife, Felicity, created a documentary about the origins of palaeontology, ‘Seeking The First Dinosaur Hunters’, and when they had released the film Greg decided it was finally time to combine two of the subjects he is most interested in into one fast-paced and exciting show.
Embark on a whimsical journey with The Bench, a theatrical masterpiece that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Crafted by the comedic genius Keir McAllister, this production is a vibrant tapestry of life, laughter, and the moments that connect us all. Set against the backdrop of a simple bench, this play unfolds a series of encounters that capture the essence of humanity in its myriad forms.
From the outset, The Bench invites audiences into a world where each sitting is a doorway to a new adventure. McAllister, with his unparalleled wit and profound insight, crafts characters that are as diverse as they are relatable. From fleeting romances to profound solitudes, from bursts of laughter to whispers of nostalgia, the bench witnesses it all, making it not just a prop but a character in its own right.
What makes The Bench truly stand out is its seamless blend of comedy and depth. McAllister, a connoisseur of humour, ensures that each scene is laden with laughter, yet beneath the surface, there’s a wealth of emotion and introspection. It’s this duality that grips the heart and stirs the soul, offering a reflection on the simplicity and complexity of life’s narrative.
The Bench is more than just entertainment; it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and revel in the beauty of everyday moments. It celebrates the fact that sometimes, the most significant stories and the deepest connections are found in the most unexpected places. McAllister’s work is a reminder of the power of storytelling, the magic of theatre, and the universal language of laughter.
Follow Sherlock Holmes and his incomparable sidekick Dr John Watson on this riveting, until now, unpublished case…
Damsel in distress, Lucy Matravers engages Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth, Holmes and his partner Watson to resolve a dispute over a family will. Little do they know that this small case brings Holmes straight into the clutches of his arch enemy, James Moriarty!
This hilarious spoof is taken on by four actors, minimal furnishings and tons of jolly-good-fun… The game’s afoot!
This is Our Star Theatre Company’s longest-serving show, with 2024 marking the company’s 4th year of this crowd-favourite. Following sell-out performances UK-wide, this show has not disappointed, shining a light on a brand-new take on Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle’s timeless character.
“A whacky, farcical adventure which had the audience laughing and delighting in moments of silliness” The Reviews Hub (Brighton Fringe)
“I mean this as the biggest compliment: The campest Sherlock mystery ever! Wonderful show!” The Stalls Report (Edinburgh Fringe)
High energy comedy meets hilarious material. Patrick works the room, makes an effortless connection and becomes everybody’s favourite comedian!

“I defy anyone not to leave with a smile on their face” **** ONE4REVIEW (Edinburgh 2023)
After her previous completely sold out, highly acclaimed debut tour, and fresh from hosting Live At The Apollo and appearances on A League Of Their Own and Have I Got News For You, Maisie Adam is heading back out on tour with her brand new show, Appraisal.
It’s been a meteoric rise through through the comedy ranks for Maisie and she’s fast on her way to becoming a household name. Stand-up is what she loves most and she’s now five years into her job as a comedian, so perhaps she’s due an appraisal.
Appraisal will be the ultimate performance review, where we’ll see just why she was awarded Best New Act and nominated Best Newcomer…or, is she heading towards an “organisational restructure”?
See you at the appraisal, she looks forward to seeing you, kindest regards!!!

the knottiest moments… roaringly funny’ ★★★★ The Times
