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.

Geoff Norcott – Basic Bloke 2 – There’s No Bloke Without Fire (Work In Progress) is the latest tour from comedian, author, pod caster and radio host Geoff Norcott and Geoff’s first under a Labour government, so he’s got plenty to get off his chest! Not least because there’s nothing quite so British as being promised a brave new dawn then realising it’s as crap as the last one.
Star of Have I Got News For You, Is University Really Worth It?, The Last Leg, Would I Lie to You?, Live At The Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Backstage With Katherine Ryan, The Mash Report, The News Quiz, Geoff Norcott’s Working Men’s Club and many more!

‘The laughs roll in like waves’ Evening Standard 

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
