Impromptunes – The Completely Improvised Musical
Musical mayhem abounds in a show that has to be seen to be believed. You suggest a title and seconds later the curtains open on a brand-new musical for the first, last and only time. Everything is made up on the spot. You'll be on the edge of your seat throughout as Australia's finest improvisers create a musical full of hijinks, harmonies and hilarity. It's unrehearsed. It's unpredictable. It's Impromptunes.
Lulu Popplewell: Love Love
Returning from her sell-out debut show, Lulu brings you a new hour of jokes about love, obsession and raccoons, as she tries to answer the question 'is love just a form of mental illness?'
Alex Mitchell: Tough
Alex Mitchell is on a mission to find out what it really takes to be a tough guy in modern Britain. He's had a strange couple of years – being thrust into the limelight on mainstream telly, getting into a less than healthy relationship, being abused daily online, becoming disabled, and his best friend gave birth to a now three-foot bully. But, has Alex toughened up? The easy answer is no... but he's trying. Britain’s Got Talent Finalist. 'Accomplished and intelligent' (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). 'A natural' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Absolutely sensational' (Alesha Dixon).
Su Mi: THISMOTHERPHUCKER
THISMOTHERPHUCKER is a public nuisance. A dysfunctional anti-clown whose only mission is to destroy ego. Award-winning stand-up and drag performance artist Su Mi presents their debut show: an immersive surreal experience resurrecting every nostalgic moment left forgotten, healing the inner child and seeking to destroy archaic stereotypes and challenge the narrative of comedy whilst navigating a predominantly white cis space. BBC New Comedian of the Year nominee, finalist of Funny Women Awards and Musical Comedy Awards, and Top of the Slops drag superstar.
Jessica Durand: Over The Top
It's 1914. The Great War is destroying Europe. Except it's actually 2025 and Jessica Durand is (very bravely) staging her very own self-insert Downton Abbey fanfiction for a live audience. An absurd one-woman love letter to fandom, queer villainy and trench warfare. No prior knowledge of Downton Abbey (or WWI) is required.
Shane Daniel Byrne: Who's a Big Boy?
Dublin darling Shane Daniel Byrne is back, just about. The award-winning stand-up has become a leading act in Ireland at breakneck speed. Shane is the boy from school who was capable of more, the kid who could do better. Just try catching him now. Expect rapid-fire craic and big-hearted feelings in his brand-new show about bellies and bullies.
