Theo Mason Wood: Legalise Kissing

A genre-defying mix of stand-up, surreal storytelling, and live techno anthems, Legalise Kissing is a punk-clown manifesto on love, identity, and modern chaos. Writer for Netflix’s The Gentlemen and now Apple TV, award-winning comedian Theo Mason Wood blends razor-sharp wit with absurdist theatricality, delivering a show that’s as heartfelt as it is unhinged. Fresh from a sold-out preview at Comedy Café Berlin, where audiences raved about its chaotic brilliance, Theo brings a high-energy mix of comedy, character work, and pounding beats to the stage. Winner of the Berlin New Stand-Up Award and semi-finalist in the West End New Act of the Year competition, Theo has performed across Europe, most recently at the prestigious Moth Club in London. At its core, Legalise Kissing explores the absurdity of human connection in an age of chaos—where love, rebellion, and techno collide. Theo’s unpredictable energy, biting satire, and beautifully weird storytelling keep audiences on edge in the best way possible. If you like your comedy bold, smart, and a little unhinged, this is the show for you. Come for the jokes, stay for the manifesto. And maybe, just maybe, leave ready to start a revolution. Book now—kissing optional.

Francisco de Nata

Step into the joyful and absurd world of Francisco de Nata – A giraffe. In a G-string. With a job to do. In this non-verbal clown show featuring audience interaction, puppetry and yes, a very special Portuguese custard tart, Francisco invites you on a playful journey where nonsense, vulnerability and wonder take centre stage. Tasked with painting a ceiling, his world soon unravels into beautiful chaos, but as the clock ticks and the paint dries, a tender and ridiculous story unfolds about this giraffe's love for his Avó (grandma). Will it come together before time runs out?

"Be Good!" with Paulette

Paulette stumbles into a theatre full of the most people he's ever seen, and he doesn't know whether to panic or mingle. Sporting a brown sweater and a hot-off-the-fist black eye, he approaches the stage armed with nothing but an arsenal of pleasantries, a pocketful of charm and a monumental fear of rejection. American clown Daniel Maseda makes his solo debut with this evening of small talk madness that can't help but be different every night. One thing's for certain: this show is for anyone who wants to scream at a polite person.
