Upcoming Shows
Everything we're doing (that we've announced).
Kate Cheka: A Messiah Comes
23rd February to 14th June
Various Venues, UK Tour
The reigning Funny Women Award winner and Chortle Best Newcomer nominee Kate Cheka brings you her debut hour where she tries to save the world.
Where does this messiah complex come from? Is it the second coming or has she just inherited her mother's psychological disorder? If you're anxious about the state of the world (or just your own mental state), join this 'impressive, frank and relatable' (Chortle.co.uk) BBC New Comedy Awards semi-finalist as she becomes the first woman to wonder what many men have wondered before her: am I actually God?
Holly Spillar: Tall Child (WIP)
Thursday 24th April
Museum Of Comedy, London
Following her critically-acclaimed sell-out debut Hole (‘An impressive debut from a compelling performer’ ★★★★ Chortle), musical comedian Holly Spillar is returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe armed with a loop pedal and some ever growing dissonant rage.
Tall Child is a surreal but observational hour about the impossibilities of making professional art in an ‘age of insecurity’. In a cost of living crisis and a country defined by class, Holly Spillar is searching her pockets for low cost joy - from Caravan holiday parks to 2p machines. She's Bo Burnham if he didn't have the means, she's Kate Bush…if Kate Bush smelt of damp.
Bebe Cave: CHRISTBRIDE (WIP)
Sunday 27th April
Hen & Chickens Theatre, London
In the dark, desperate, deathly world of the middle ages, one (quite annoying) woman strives to find the light. Join CHRISTBRIDE, a female mystic in a world of male dullards, as she escapes from a life of monotony to a life of devotion. Expect fantasy, prophesies, miracles both real and fake and a mystical marriage in her bedroom to Jesus Christ our lord and saviour.
The writer and star of critically acclaimed 2024 fringe hit The Screen Test ('Full of madcap ideas and caricatures...a riot from start to finish' Broadway Baby) presents a work in progress of her debut character comedy show.

Holly Spillar: Tall Child (WIP)
Thursday 12th June
The Glitch, London
Following her critically-acclaimed sell-out debut Hole (‘An impressive debut from a compelling performer’ ★★★★ Chortle), musical comedian Holly Spillar is returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe armed with a loop pedal and some ever growing dissonant rage.
Tall Child is a surreal but observational hour about the impossibilities of making professional art in an ‘age of insecurity’. In a cost of living crisis and a country defined by class, Holly Spillar is searching her pockets for low cost joy - from Caravan holiday parks to 2p machines. She's Bo Burnham if he didn't have the means, she's Kate Bush…if Kate Bush smelt of damp.
Cabbage The Clown: Cinemadrome (WIP)
Saturday 14th June
Museum of Comedy, London
Minimum wage cinema employee turned multi-award winning tragic fool Cabbage The Clown’s debut hour marries a buffet of genres in polygamous holy matrimony in the name of drag.
With over 8 million views online for their genre-busting brand of multimedia drag-clowning, Cabbage presents their hotly-anticipated debut show: One-part breathless parody of cinematic history, one part thoughtful dissection of minimum wage careers, one part rolling
around on the floor covered in popcorn.
So talk through the trailers, get the loudest snacks available, then sit back, relax and enjoy this Bechdel Test-passing, BBFC-unapproved, global premiere.
Rosa Garland: Primal Bog (WIP)
Sunday 15th June
Hen & Chickens Theatre, London
The gorgeously gross new piece from Rosa Garland, the creator of Trash Salad, one of The Telegraph's Funniest Shows of the Fringe. Join Rosa on a slimy trek into the recesses of our erotic imaginations, celebrating pleasure in its ugliest forms, and the hard work of accessing desire.
Like Jackass if Johnny Knoxville was Gwyneth Paltrow, this new comedy experiment will stop at nothing to investigate the mucky mind-corners we prefer to ignore. Come into the bog; the mud's just fine. 'A force of nature' (TheWeeReview.com). 'A knock out... riotously funny' (BingeFringe.com).
Bec Hill's Pick 'n' Mix
Thursday 19th June
Museum of Comedy, London
We take only the freshest material from our line-up of carefully curated comics and give it a mix, so YOU can pick which jokes you’d like to hear. With every act onstage throughout the show, you’ll witness punchlines being born, developed, and gifted in the most collaborative new material night you (and the acts) will ever experience.
Hosted by Bec Hill (that one from the video your sibling posted in the family WhatsApp of the misheard lyrics flipcharts on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown).
Bebe Cave: The Screen Test
10th - 12th July
Soho Theatre, London
Bebe Cave’s critically-acclaimed dark comedy of delusion, desperation and dreams.
Betsy Bitterly is an aspiring actress in 1930s Hollywood, so desperate to become a star that she might just sacrifice herself along the way.
Through a series of “screen tests” for roles that could change her life, Betsy herself changes in ways she never expected in her never ending quest to “make it”. But what does “making it” really mean? And when do you let go of the dream?
Anna Hale: Control Freak (WIP)
Friday 11th July
Museum of Comedy, London
Introducing Anna Hale: comedian, singer-songwriter, control freak. She’s written the jokes, the music and the lyrics. She’s rigged the lights and sold the tickets. But what happens to a control freak when her world is out of control? Anna's a socially anxious extrovert and a perfectionist with sixty minutes to solve all her problems. The real challenge is doing it without letting anyone else have a go.
Featuring hilarious original songs, “natural charisma” (Beyond The Joke) and “undeniable vocal pyrotechnics” (Chortle), Control Freak is the debut show from the 2024 Musical Comedy Awards 'Audience Favourite'.
