Suzi Ruffell: Snappy

Suzi Ruffell likes things snappy: her stand up, her decisions and her suits. ‘Recorded at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre to a sold-out audience, Suzi’s brand new show Snappy is all about settling down (but not settling), becoming a mother (without becoming mumsy) and still worrying about everything – of course she is – have you seen the news? Expect high-energy laughs as she shares stories about her air-fryer-obsessed toddler, crime capers with her dad, and an unexpected encounter with the pop icon who sparked her gay awakening – Mel C.

Ivo Graham: Live From The Bloomsbury Theatre

Lockdown is over, the boy is back in town: after two years of global/domestic chaos, Ivo blasts through his most urgent concerns of the early 2020s, plus a few from the late 1990s, in a critically acclaimed show ("mastering his craft with motormouthed finesse...if self-deprecation were a sport, Graham would have a gold medal round his neck": The Times), beautifully filmed in London at the end of his "My Future, My Clutter" UK tour, with a freshly ironed shirt, a handful of schoolboy stories and a really quite outlandish amount of lamps on the stage.

Christopher Macarthur-Boyd: Oh No

Filmed live at Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh, “Oh No” is the debut comedy special by Scottish stand-up Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, featuring breezy laid-back jokes and stories about depression, tattoos, butter, and the meaning of life.

Jessica Fostekew: Wench

Wench is a show about Jess' mid-life metamorphosis, featuring hilarious stories of her adventures in promiscuity, privilege, and pubes. She’s finding her feet as a queer mom, and suffice to say, it hasn’t been clear sailing!

Jen Brister: The Optimist

If middle age has taught Jen Brister anything, it’s that optimism does not come naturally to her. In fact it’s fair to say that her cup is very much half empty and she’s making no attempt to fill it. Can Jen work against her natural instincts and finally see the light? Or will she stay the same old pessimistic naysayer she’s always been. I mean, I think we know the answer to that, but let’s try and be optimistic.

Josh Pugh: Live From Birmingham Town Hall

Josh Pugh made quite an impression at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, where he was deservedly nominated for best show in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards with Sausage, Egg, Josh Pugh, Chips and Beans. Josh performs his award nominated stand up show in front of a sold out Birmingham Town Hall on the final night of his first nationwide tour. A show about the last two years of his life, trying for a baby and losing Captain Tom's Birthday Cards
