Fresh from winning ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and appearing on BBC Radio 4 institution ‘Just A Minute’, join one of India’s most exciting comics as she embarks on her debut UK tour.

Urooj is a stand-up comedian who hails from Mumbai, India. She not only has a degree in psychology but later went on to be in therapy herself. What is her show about, you ask? I think you should ask YOURSELF why you insist on knowing everything. Why don’t you just show up for the thing, be surprised, and go with the flow?*

*Okay, I’ll tell you: the show is about her, her family, things that annoy her, and things she loves. She will obviously talk about herself since she’s already speaking in the third person. Please come to my show. I love you.

Winner: Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer 2023

Debut national tour from that guy (@mattgreencomedy) you've seen on Twitter being funny about politics. A stand-up show featuring jokes about politics and jokes not about politics. That probably covers it.

Matt has achieved millions of views for his online satirical comedy videos since he started making them during lockdown. He’s also been performing stand-up comedy for nearly 20 years, and this is his first show since the madness of Covid/Johnson/Truss/Lord-knows-what-else began.

Watch him try to make sense of the world as we head into another year of elections, culture wars and who knows what else. Plus discover: exactly who is that guy behind the videos?

May also feature an appearance from a Tory Minister - if Matt can afford his daily rate…

As seen and heard on Late Night Mash, Avoidance, The Witchfinder, Mrs Sidhu Investigates, Times Radio, Oh God What Now? and many more.

Strictly over 18s only – contains very strong language and themes.

What’s a little evil amongst friends? Fresh from a complete sell-out extended run at the Edinburgh Fringe, award-winning gossip and TikTok starlet Daniel Foxx delivers a sensational show about childhood, Tilda Swinton and bullying (but in a chic way).

With his trademark wit and grandmother's pearls, he's taking us back to the 2000s, when the Special K diet was all the rage and the only queer representation was Jafar.

As seen on BBC One, BBC Three, Comedy Central UK and on Instagram and TikTok. Tour support for Josh Widdicombe, Rosie Jones, Sofie Hagen and Judi Love.

Nominated for the NextUp BIGGEST Award in Comedy at Edinburgh Fringe 2023, officially recommended by British Comedy Guide and featured in Dave’s Top Ten Jokes of the Fringe 2023.

British Comedian of the Year Winner and social media sensation Jeff Innocent is embarking on his first ever nationwide UK tour.

Jeff will be 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 every time he performs” -The Times

Jay Z famously said 'Once a good girl goes bad, they’re gone forever'. Irish comedian Mike Rice was a good girl and he’s gone bad.
Mike Rice is embarking on his debut tour of his hilarious new show, where he explores how a once good Catholic boy has taken the devil as a dance partner.

Mike has millions of views online and has featured on BBC, RTE, and Radio 1.

'The best new comedian I’ve seen in years' (Karl Spain).

Life is a stress: full of rushed breakfasts, angry people, internal conflict, and Jacob Rees-Mogg. But what happens when everything you thought was important – your problems, grievances against others, your very identity – simply disappears?

Multi-award-winning and trail-blazing comedian, Paul Foot, is back on tour with Dissolve, his most personal, surprising and ground-breaking show ever.

In the year 2022 AD something momentous changed for Paul, and in this show he will reveal how he discovered the secret of life on the outskirts of Lancaster.* Inevitably he does get distracted by King Tutankhamun, the House of Lords, Sir Cliff Richard, officious lollipop ladies and what Jesus might have achieved if he’d been a plumber.

As seen on ‘Would I Lie To You?’, ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’ and ‘8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’.

‘Funnier and more daring than I’ve ever seen him... [has] the audience laughing so hard they’re about to leave their bodies’ ★★★★★ Chortle

*To be clear, Paul discovered the secret of life while he was located on the outskirts of Lancaster. Not the secret to living on the outskirts of Lancaster. There isn’t an answer to that.

Jake Lambert is going on his first national tour. Described as "A joke machine" by The Telegraph, the show will see the comedian talk about trying to navigate his way through everyday life, why he has a fear of being normal, and asking why we all feel the need to ask strangers what breed their dogs are.

It seems the perfect time for his first tour too; his online videos have gained over 150million views, he has been supporting Michael McIntyre on his worldwide tour and he will be appearing on the next series of Live at the Apollo.

★★★★★ "...pure brilliance from start to finish" - London Theatre 1
★★★★★ “An absolute must-see” - RGM
★★★★- "A joke machine" - The Telegraph
★★★★ "A great storyteller" - The Arts Desk
★★★★ "Winningly self-deprecating" – Chortle

Multi award winning comedian Ray Bradshaw is forever being told “you look just like my mate…” where ever 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’.

“Has a clear comedy gift” ★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News

Star of ‘Live At The Apollo’, Laura Smyth’s brand-new show explores all aspects of modern life. She has fun mugging off all the madness of parenting, childhood, school, marriage, social media, work, and chasing her dreams.

Ultimately, she is asking how ‘living your best life’ is actually achieved – heads up: it don’t involve Instagram!
