A stand up comedy work in progress hour from Vix Leyton & Andrew O'Neill.
Vix Leyton
Discovered by Mark Watson on Twitter in 2019, Welsh comic exiled to London, Vix Leyton is a natural storyteller with a keen eye for observation, combining warm, whimsical charm, as well as a PR hustler. You’ve probably heard of her, you just might not know how.
Her panel show podcast 'The Comedy Arcade' is both an audio success and compelling live show, picking up a nomination for Leicester Comedy's best podcast in 2021 and racking up sell out shows at Edinburgh Fringe last year with Underbelly. Regular MC for pro nights including Red Imp Comedy, Poodle Club and resident MC for Kingston Outside the Box. She is also the promoter of the infamous church gig ‘Have I got pews for you’ and regular legal prosecutor for ‘This is your trial’
Robin Ince: “Bursting with impish energy, exudes an infectious delight”
Mark Watson: "Vix has a talent for reading a room and playing with an audience. She is funny, charismatic, resourceful and likely to achieve great things”
‘Charming, surprisingly dark and gonna be famous’ Andrew O’Neill * my favourite ever review.

Andrew O'Neill
Award-winning stand-up comedian, musician and best-selling writer brings a work in progress hour show to Archway.
The nonbinary metalhead comedian (and star of their own occult-themed Radio 4 sitcom Damned Andrew) gained rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019, (and in 2022 - ★★★★★ - Scotsman).
A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up. Andrew has performed in over a dozen different countries, at over a hundred different festivals and is equally at home in rowdy comedy clubs as performing to their own cult following.
They co-wrote and starred in Radio 4's occult sitcom Damned Andrew, their Radio 4 show Pharmacist Baffler won an award. Author of the book A History Of Heavy Metal, Founder member of the Victorian-obsessed punk band "The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing".
