It is 2023 and despite numerous things that could've scuppered us, we are turning four years old this April! To celebrate, we are putting on a bonus show featuring a massive line-up of some of our absolute favourite performers.
Please note: We have tentatively booked Gullivers for this show in the hopes that the issues we experienced with our March show will be resolved by then. We are in the process of looking for other venues in case this is not the case.
Come along on Tuesday 18th April for an evening of stellar comedy from...
Bobbie Jones
A combination of Dad Jokes and Daddy Issues, Bobbie-Ann Jones is one of the funniest prediabetic queers ever to come from Wolverhampton. They once made their counsellor cry and laugh at the same time, and they're still proud of it. Is often seen carrying a single chocolate bar in a Sainsburys bag for life and rocking a killer rack.

Jonathan Murray
Comedian and front man for the post punk duo 'Austerity Dogs', Jonathan tells of their working class upbringing and anger towards all things Tory, while making you laugh along the way.

with host Jonny Collins
Jonny Collins is an aggressively inclusive Non-Binary comedian, Jonny pulls no punches yet makes everyone feel welcome and represented in their thought provoking, and well constructed deconstructions of gender, sexuality and politics. With radical leftist ideals and a fast and furious delivery style, Jonny Collins is a favourite of socialist, anarchists, feminists (of the trans inclusive variety), and queer activists alike.
“Jonny is a force of nature on stage. A whirlwind of hilarity with a unique viewpoint, they energy and passion personified.” – XS Malarkey
"Jonny Collins is deceptively rapid-fire, with a gag rate that would shame most one-line merchants. They can bring a simmer to a boil with ease, and make a huge mess of your kitchen." – James Ross (Quantum Leopard)
