🍍 Mmmmm! London's Juiciest Alternative Comedy Night defies the soothsayers this Ides with a generous selection of oddball characters, dark wordplay, and silly surrealist time travel.
Join “dictators for life” Siân & BanAnna and their faithful followers, The Punnet, for a genre-busting smoothie of big TV names and undiscovered peaches, served in a lush queer-friendly venue that warmly welcomes everyone.
🍒 LINE-UP FRESH FROM OUR OVEN: 🥧
✨HEIDI REGAN✨
Multi award-winning (BBC New Comedy Award / So You Think You’re Funny / Funny Women) and finalist in literally every competition you’ve ever heard of, Heidi’s been winning audiences across the UK with her intelligent, silly, surreal and philosophical brand of comedy. From climate crisis anxiety to shark films to LGBT rights, nothing escapes this uniquely brilliant stand-up and writer. Don't just take our word for it - here's that BBC New Comedy Award
“It felt so original and unlike anything else we had heard before” - BBC Radio 4
“a fantastically confident set that took us to a very very weird place” - Hugh Dennis
✨REBEKKA TURNER✨
Surrealist madcap standup and queen of the quickfire wordplay. There’ll be no storytelling, no deep meanings about relationships, no moral messages near the end…BUT there might just be more oddball characters, off-the-wall impressions and jokes than you can hurl a humdinger at. Plus - if you’re lucky - some meaty layers between those aubergines.
"Fearlessly funny, gorgeously unhinged and imaginative, you will not get bored watching Rebekka." - Funny Women
"Like a porcelain doll with a chainsaw" - Random audience member
✨MISTA LORRAINE✨
Some people choose their alter ego. As for Mista Lorraine, it chose her. Following a successful debut at the sold-out 'Out of Order' Tedx Talk at the Rose Theatre in Kingston Upon Thames, Lorraine Chademunhu takes you on a journey exploring misconceptions with hilarity in spades.
