Michael McPheat is fresh from his latest Edinburgh show BRUTAL! - an hour-long guided tour of his favourite building in the world, Milton Keynes Shopping Centre (“This is a smart performer trying and succeeding to do something just a little different” The Skinny.) Now he’s BACK with some brand new ideas he wants to test on a big batch of lab rats (you).
Recent accolades include: LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year (Finalist, 2026); So You Think You’re Funny (Semi-Finalist, 2024).
