Following three sold-out runs in 2016 and 2017, FRANK SKINNER returns to London's Soho Theatre on Tuesday 24th October with The Man With No Show for ten shows only.

Storyhouse welcomes the first show in its inaugural touring season this week - giving audiences the first chance to see its stunning 800-seater auditorium in all its glory.

The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, has announced a new season of shows.

The Just For Laughs Festival, presented by Videotron in association with Loto-Quebec, successfully upped the ante on hilarity with more artists and TV tapings than ever before, popping the cork over an astounding 42 sold-out shows. With a flood of television tapings, social media coverage, and international press, JFL experienced more worldwide exposure than ever before! JFL's name is synonymous with comedy. You can't turn your head without catching stand-up captured at the festival; major players include Netflix, HBO, The Comedy Network, CBC, Showtime, The CW, CNN, Hulu, CBS, Comedy Central, LOL, TruTV and countless other media outlets from across the globe.

It was a big day for the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, now with its 35th annual event in full swing. 

Storyhouse can reveal the first shows in its Spring Season 2018 - with headline names in comedy, opera and dance all making a date with the Chester venue.

Following a sold out run at London's Menier Chocolate Factory and two critically-acclaimed West End runs, David Baddiel will takes his Olivier-nominated one-man show to the Exeter Northcott Theatre in June 2018.
