Suzi Ruffell: The Juggle

It’s hard to be good all the time. A good mother, a good daughter, a good partner, a good friend, a good person. To be ambitious but not ruthless; a success but not a sell-out. A gentle parent but not a pushover. To be smashing life and make it look easy. The juggle. Suzi is exhausted and she hasn't even started. This is a stand-up show and a support group!

The Juggle is a brand new tour from confessional multi-award winning comedian Suzi Ruffell.

'A fabulously funny show from a class act' - ★★★★ Evening Standard 

Suzi has appeared on Live at the Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show, The Last Leg and QI. Suzi co-hosts smash-hit podcasts Big Kick Energy with Maisie Adam and Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen, as well as having her own podcast, OUT with Suzi Ruffell. She even finds time to host on Virgin Radio. Suzi's debut book, Am I Having Fun Now? is released in June 2025.

Vittorio Angelone: You Can't Say Nothing Any More

Vittorio Angelone has always denied any involvement in stand-up comedy or stand-up comedy related activities. Despite this, after two completely sold-out tours in 2023 and 2024 - with over 100 packed-out shows - he's heading back on the road with a brand new show. One of the fastest-rising names in comedy, Vittorio has built a loyal and attractive following with stand-up clips and podcasts racking up millions of views. He co-hosts Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting with fellow comedian Mike Rice, and is a co-creator of Fin vs The Internet. As seen on the internet unless your algorithm hasn’t blessed you thusly.

John Kearns: Tilting at Windmills

Tilting at Windmills is the brand-new stand-up show from Taskmaster alumni and double Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner, John Kearns.

A fragmented, digressing portrayal of a 38-year-old man’s life, alluding to books he hasn't read, touching on the modern condition. Plus VAT! More allusive and bleak as ever, it is unreal the comedian you become. And for who? Decent craic with the right crowd. A show for those who have read about but not committed to the Guinness Nitrosurge.

Seen bewildered on Taskmaster (Channel 4), terrified on Live at the Apollo (BBC), getting through Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Sky), and implicating others on his Sky stand-up special The Varnishing Days.  More comfortable on pods but comes alive on stage, for your pleasure!

★★★★★

The Guardian

 

“most will surely be won over…with the delightful, poetic flourish that defines all his work… perfectly structured with overlapping themes and surprising callbacks… It’s all rather wonderful”

Chortle ★★★★★

 

“about as funny as anything this decade”

Omid Djalili:  Namaste

Omid Djalili: Namaste

The Persian Comedy Powerhouse performs his critically acclaimed new show NAMASTE where Omid peacefully bows to his inner anger and unleashes a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet.

No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. No audience member leaves the theatre with an ounce of laughter left in them.

You have been warned.

“So hysterically funny and at the same time so poignant and powerful that calling it stand-up barely does it justice.”

Michael Levin, Huffington Post.

It's time he shaped-up and crawled out from under the square named after him.

Matt Forde: Defying Calamity

In his biggest live tour to date leading political comedian Matt Forde (The Royal Variety Performance, Spitting Image, HIGNFY, British Scandal) finds positivity in life despite all the evidence to the contrary in politics and his own health.

'The most topically incisive impersonator on the block... It's laugh-a-minute stuff, underpinned by the kind of wisdom and natural resilience our leaders could learn from. He was always impressive, but he deserves his inevitable standing-ovation as never before'

★★★★★ Daily Telegraph

“A first-class comic” The Guardian

'Flying the flag for satire... a meaty hour of impressions, gags and reflections... so much to admire here' ★★★★★ Mail On Sunday.

Scott Bennett: Stuff

Our society loves stuff, it’s who we are and who we want to be. But this is at odds with the looming environmental crisis. Star of Live at the Apollo, News Quiz “Live comedy’s best kept Secret.” **** - Evening Standard.

As heard on BBC Radio 4!

As a society we love stuff, it’s a statement about who we are and who we want to be. But apparently, this message is at odds with the looming environmental crisis. We’re now struggling to balance these worlds, to focus on the things that bring us real connections and nourish the soul. Award-winning Comedian and Award-winning Product Designer, Scott Bennett is desperately trying to cleanse his life of stuff, but is this even possible anymore?

Tour support for Mickey Flanagan, Rob Brydon, Jason Manford, and John Bishop. The star of Live at the Apollo, The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Ultimate Choice and Chortle Best Club Comedian Nominee 2022.

“Without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret.” - Evening Standard

“Great material, great delivery, a very funny man.” - Rob Brydon

“Brilliantly funny, a joy to watch.” - Chris Ramsey

“Bennett is a stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, a masterclass in adding a frisson of ‘in the moment’ unpredictabillity to otherwise tightly written routines.” - **** Chortle
