Did you know that 90% of people believe they can get away with murder - are you one of them? There will be a live psychopath test on the night to find out!

MURDER: STAGED is hosted by research psychologist and psychopathy expert Cheish Merryweather. The 'CSI effect' has created a new type of killer – one that is forensically aware and is out to mislead an investigation. This evening will explore the lies embedded in crime scenes. You will investigate the six types of stagers: The Planner, The Creator, The Cleaner, The Concealer, The Fabricator and The Inflictor.

Featuring forensics, reconstructed crime scene walk-throughs and deep dive into the darkest cases. An unmissable evening for true crime fans.

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 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.

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 Times ★★★★

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.

The High Priestess of Punk burst onto the scene in 1976 as she forged dual careers as a musician and actress who featured at The National Theatre and London’s Royal Court.  Her role in Quadrophenia made her a household name and soon after she gate-crashed the charts with It’s A Mystery, I Want To Be Free, and Thunder In The Mountains, as the album, Anthem, earned a gold disc, and BRIT Award Best Female as well as a BRIT Nomination for British Breakthrough Act. She married King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp in 1986, and she starred opposite Sir Laurence Olivier and The Who’s Rodger Daltrey, among others. Acting, presenting, performing, headlining tours, and releasing 23 studio albums continued her unique story and now it’s time to reflect. With a new book in the offing, Toyah is hitting the road for an extensive UK tour in which she’ll sing favourite hits and tell stories from her remarkable career.

Matt Parker talks a lot of maths.

He's a NYT best-selling author and sold-out stand-up performer. But now it's time he does the maths. Really gets in there and gives the maths a good doing. It's time he programmes his own Christmas tree lights and then 11,184,024 people watch his downfall (and counting). It's time he shares his hand-crafted maths code online only for viewers to improve it by 40,832,277,770%.

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

Come watch Matt Parker do the maths. (Every audience member will get some free maths.)

Gary Delaney’s last UK tour ran for two and a half years across 378 dates. People laughed a lot and kept coming back. His videos have hundreds of millions of views. So now he’s doing it all again with a brand new show. All new jokes and utterly splendid filth. Come along. It’ll be fun. Don’t bring the kids or people who like to get their knickers in a twist. Do wear a TENA pad or dark trousers.

Revelations - Songs Boys Don’t Sing

Craig Revel Horwood is a national treasure. The longest-serving judge on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing is the master of the Glitter Ball.

After starting as a dancer, he worked on the nation’s biggest musicals and became a choreographer, director, and best-selling author.

Expect dancing, tales from Strictly Come Dancing, songs, plenty of laughs – and, yes, an unexpected cookery demonstration.

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.

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.

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?

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

Straight off the back of Taskmaster, A League Of Their Own, and Last One Laughing, Maisie Adam is back with her brand new show Whatsherface.
