Inspired by the Book of Jonah – and probably God – award-winning shunt veteran, Mitchell and Webb writer, John Finnemore's Souvenir Programmer (and Keith Darren Dean in Ghosts), Simon Kane, regurgitates his highly acclaimed, horrifyingly evergreen divine comedy about the extremist in us all.

Winner: 2023 Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award. Nominee: 2025 Leicester Comedy Festival Awards Best Debut Show. Arab. Muslim. Brummy. 'Deliciously funny' (Guardian) Hasan Al-Habib's parents left Baghdad for the land of opportunity (Birmingham). But when Britain invaded Iraq, friends and teachers saw him as the enemy within. Featuring Big Tescos, why Saddam Hussein would've loved Drayton Manor and - amidst a search for those pesky weapons of mass destruction – finding self-acceptance.

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.

Debut show from Pedro Leandro, a comedian who has famously been described as 'magnetic' (Guardian) and 'a beautiful bright-eyed joy' (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). Sadly, he has found this praise to be insufficient. Standing atop the lonely Everest of his innumerable achievements, he invites his audience to reflect: will it, can it, ever be enough?

Award-winning character comedian Lorna Rose Treen has made a diner. She's inviting you in for an hour of characters, nonsense and a working grill. (Now with no working grill!) Afterwards, you'll say to your neighbour, 'I'll have what she's having!'

'Fresh' from hatching a baby girl and a sold-out Edinburgh run, '...uninhibited feminist with a foul mouth' **** (Daily Express), Lily Phillips, as seen on ITV, BBC, Comedy Central and E4, is back with a new hour… and she and her perinium are fine!

Irish comedian Katie Boyle brings her newest stand-up, a uniquely personal dark comedy, to Edinburgh. It's about living in America, Catholic shame, St Brigid, cutting off a parent and somehow all connected to abortion.

Old God is a foppish, irreverent oracle. A singer of doom. A weaver of myth. A being so old they have forgotten their own name. With beautiful costuming, painted canvas backdrop and fancy golden foot lights, this white face clown seems to have walked out of the theater houses of the 1800s. Pantomime is performed along side improvisational feats of language. No one can keep up as Old God buries the audience beneath a sea of imagery and play spinning wildly in topic but elegantly in body.

Emmy-winner Bryan Safi (star of ABC's 9-1-1, Netflix's You, Attitudes!) brings his distinctive voice to this solo comedy spiral all about queerness, confidence and the art of being unapologetically too much.

On the eve of a High Court appeal, a desperate reporter is offered an exclusive in the top-floor flat of a Springburn tower block - one that could revive his career, but set a guilty man free. First he must listen to a story which could change the world, told by an old woman who claims she is not of it.

James Trickey is throwing it all away. A hotly anticipated debut hour from award-winning new act and chartered accountant (but in a cool way) which explores what it means to risk everything. Expect to laugh, learn and crucially, laugh again.

The full cast has been revealed for Rollers Forever - the brand-new musical featuring the songs of the legendary Bay City Rollers - opening at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow from 19–30 August 2025.

Hyp Me Baby One More Time! The unmissable smash-hit comedy hypnotist is back with a 90s party hypnoshow!

ack at the Fringe with an electrifying, one-of-a-kind spectacle of slick, mind-bending magic, laugh-out-loud comedy, cutting-edge video production and astonishing illusions – magic like you've never seen before!

Edge-of-nowhere, Glasgow, Central Belt. An abandoned, derelict bridge. A young man and an old man decide to take their own lives. In the same spot. At the same time. They've never met and they didn't know the other was going to be there.

oin the hilarious diva Sikisa for Serving Justice – a bold, thought-provoking hour exploring truth, identity, and what justice looks like in love and life. She dives into her love of wrestling, the pressure to have kids, and the realities of the immigration system – with a twist.

The brand new recordings feature an all-star cast of guest artists including Gaelic Singer of the Year Kim Carnie, JUNO Award-winning banjo player Kaia Kater and four-time BBC Alba Scots Singer of the Year Siobhan Miller alongside top musical theatre talent including Olivier Award-winner Rebecca Trehearn and CATS Award-winner Kirsty Findlay.

A mysterious investigation of the great American writer, inspired by his scandalous life and the Black and White ball he hosted at the Plaza Hotel. A provocative journey through success, sabotage, addiction and true crime, from Garden City to New York.

The Last Laugh is written and directed by the award-winning Paul Hendy, and stars “a trio of sublime performances” (WhatsOnStage) by Bob Golding as Morecambe, Simon Cartwright as Monkhouse and Damian Williams as Cooper.
