THE JEST ‘The Jest could just be the next big thing in sketch-based comedy’ Everything Theatre ‘Intelligent, inventive and deliciously absurd’ The List

IlluminArchie is the hilarious new show by ‘super cool, super smart storyteller’ (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard), award-winning comedian, Archie Maddocks. He is described as ‘poignant, inventive and razor-sharp’ (BroadwayBaby.com) and as having ‘a corking, almost cinematic story’ (Chortle.co.uk). Join Archie for his new show, which looks at how he wishes someone would take control of his life so he didn’t have to, an accidentally racist girlfriend and a incident on a Mexican pyramid.

The Bad Therapy podcast is a brand-new show from the team behind multi-award-winning hit podcast Do The Right Thing.

Join Danielle Ward, Margaret Cabourn Smith and Michael Legge as they cross examine one of their very favourite comedian friends to breaking point. It’s Desert Island Discs meets that interview scene from Shallow Grave. But funny. Like the end of Shallow Grave.

£3.00Preposterous night of new material and nonsense from Caroline Mabey, Michael Legge and guests.

‘A mirror image of a normal comedy hour… If there’s a criticism of this show it’s that Legge and Mabey are of such a calibre that Two Stupids is too good. ‘Their shit-lists bettering many set-lists on offer’ ★★★★ Skinny
