Fringe season is well underway and we are pumped to have another pair of incredible performers heading to our stage to showcase their all new work-in-progress shows.
Join us at Gullivers on Monday 3rd June for some of the most exciting new shows the fringe is likely to see this year, featuring...
Hannah Platt
"Voice of a generation" (The Skinny) Hannah Platt is an honest, frank and distinctive new comic with an unflinching outlook on the world and, after a diagnosis of body dysmorphia, how the world looks back at her.
Often acerbic and never shying away from sensitive topics, Hannah asks why we keep people at arm’s length, what’s so humiliating about being sincere, and are you really a people pleaser if no one is pleased?
Nominated Best debut show, Leicester Comedy Festival
BBC New Comedy Awards Finalist
As seen on BBC Three and BBC Radio 4
Tour support for Fern Brady, Lou Sanders and Kiri Pritchard-McLean

"Full of confidence, Josh has a presence on stage that's rare to find in a comedian so early on in their career and has the audience hanging on his every word, and crucially, laughing very loudly along with what he has to say" - I Talk Telly
