Laughs Funny
Jimmy Carr
Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets. Jokes attract some people, but they can also repel. Some people are repelled by Jimmy’s dark brand of comedy. This show is not for them. But if it’s the kind of thing you like, then this is the kind of thing you’ll like.

Nabil Abdulrashid
Award-winning, international touring comedian Nabil Abdulrashid returns with a riotous new stand-up show.
Join Nabil as he shares his views and stories on travel (the good), prejudice (the bad) and people (?) from the ‘pinch-me clever and painstakingly bold’ (Time Out) star of Have I Got News for You, The Last Leg and Live at the Apollo. As heard on Off Menu with James Acaster and Ed Gamble and Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew.
★★★★ “A potent, mischievously entertaining voice” Scotsman
★★★★ “Abdulrashid is emerging as one of comedy’s most honest chroniclers of life’s complexities and contradictions” Guardian
Highway To The David Zone
David O’Doherty
A new opus from the hairy Enya, the Ryanair Bublé, the nine-volt battery-powered Beethoven. Talking, songs, talking during songs, talking while walking around – it’s got the lot. Star of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), Live At The Apollo (BBC) and host of the What Did You Do Yesterday? podcast.
★★★★★ “ An unexpected, cathartic set that leaves the audience in tears of laughter” Irish Times

Hasan Al-Habib
Arab. Muslim. Brummy.
‘Deliciously funny’ (Guardian) Hasan Al-Habib’s parents left Baghdad for the land of opportunity (southern Birmingham). But when Britain invaded Iraq, friends and teachers saw him as the enemy within. This story involves Big Tescos, why Saddam Hussein would have loved Drayton Manor, and – amidst a search for those pesky weapons of mass destruction – finding self-acceptance.
“Al-Habib treats his audience to some seamless callbacks, crowd-winning call and responses, and impeccable timing.” ★★★★ The Skinny
“There’s material here for Live at the Apollo.” ★★★★ Scotsman

Stuart Goldsmith
Stuart was as scared about the climate crisis as you are. But he did the reading, and now he’s terrified.
Come and watch him do something about it. In his most honest, hilarious, and hopeful hour yet, Stuart Goldsmith (Live At The Apollo, Netflix is a Joke, Conan) applies his ‘expert stand-up’ (Sunday Times) to the apparent collapse of absolutely everything.
