What do we mean by ‘Work In Progress’?  These shows aren’t the finished product. The comedians will be fine tuning them before they take them out on tour. You may see them occasionally referring to notes and there may well be the odd gag that doesn’t make the final edit.  The advantage for our customers is you get two shows (roughly 50 to 60 minutes each) for less thatn it would cost you to see one. You also get to hear the brand new gags and routines long before anyone else. 

Dan Nightingale – Stands Up (Work In Progress) Another brilliant hour of stand-up from the host of the massive Have A Word Podcast. Getting ready for his Autumn Tour, Dan combines story telling and observations with his usual high energy mayhem.

‘Funny as hell’ Leicester Mercury ‘Enthusiastically charming albeit self-deprecating storyteller’ ★★★★★ Three Weeks
“It is his powers of observation that make him so entertaining. Outrageously funny!  Keeping Up With NZ
“Exciting and imaginative” Edinburgh Evening News   ‘Genuinely hilarious’ Chortle

Rachel Fairburn – Vexy Beasts (Work In Progress) Hot off the heels of her acclaimed 2024 character show Side Eye, Rachel (Live At The Apollo, All Killa No Filla) brings you a brand new bunch of characters to love and hate. 

‘Very much the rock ‘n’ roll star of British comedy” Rolling Stone UK  ‘A skilled impressionist…incredible’  The Guardian
“Fairburn is a razor-sharp observational comic who pulls no punches with her material…a meticulous hour of comedy…wickedly hilarious” ★★★★★ Broadway World ★★★★★ Opening Night  ★★★★ Chortle  ★★★★ The Skinny ★★★★ The List ★★★★ Ed Fringe Review
