Headlining our show this Sunday is irrepressible reprobate and scallywag, John Robertson. A comic since 2003, his high-energy improv and impish crowd work means he arrives, raises hell, and leaves. He has a devoted cult following thanks in part to his online Twitch shows and touring shows. He was the winner of Chortle Legend of Lockdown in 2021 and won Best Kids Show at Leicester Comedy Festival in 2019.

Not only a comic, his first play, Killing Hun In The Sun was nominated for the West Australian Equity Award for Best New Play, and his first novel, The Little Town of Marrowville, is a dark fantasy comedy aimed at children (directly, at their heads). He wrote and presented Videogame Nation for Sky TV and his Edinburgh Fringe project The Dark Room racked up millions of YouTube views, creating a new genre of interactive comedy. Robertson continues to tour the world, delighting and alarming audiences in every hemisphere and on almost every continent. For his impressive body of work he was presented with a ThreeWeeks Editor’s Choice Award at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Opening the show on Sunday is Yorkshire criminal d

Opening the show on Sunday is Yorkshire criminal defence solicitor, Abigail Rolling, who has been chained to a radiator in the magistrates’ court for almost 30 years. With misanthropic mirth she pulls back the curtain on a criminal justice system in terminal decline. The stories are true, the crisis real.

Her sell-out success Edinburgh Fringe debut, ‘Shit Lawyer’, lifted the veil on the world of criminal justice. Rolling highlighted the problems affecting the criminal justice system after successive governments have undercut the ability of lawyers to do their jobs properly – all to audiences not normally concerned with the legal world. Dark. Funny. Underfunded. And that’s just her.

“She’s ace” - Micky P Kerr, Really Funny Comedy

“Some of the cleverest writing I’ve heard, beautifully balanced… truly masterful” - RockCentral Promotions

“She’d better make it in comedy ‘cos she’s a shit lawyer” - Picture House Comedy

“The funniest solicitor I ever met” - Chris Lang, screenwriter

Last night’s gig was incredible fun. Thank you to all who joined us, both old friends and new. We even had to put some extra chairs out! We’ll be posting some pics of the fabulous acts all taken by friend of the gig Ben Swithen who can be found on Insta at @benswithen - but we’ll tease with Rich platforming Thomas The Robot Overlord 🤖🚂

Opening the show on Sunday is Jack Lewis Evans. The lizard prince of Manchester’s burgeoning alternative circuit, Evans is a lynchpin of so many of the gems that have given a collective voice to a new generation of Northern comedy. He is also home to a brain that straddles an otherworldly plane of surreal deviations and yet somehow has a vast synaptic capacity for political analysis of our worldly toil and how we might smash its root cause. His show ‘Work’, which can be be found online, was recorded at Square Hole, and his fingerprints can be found on Mandatory Redistribution Party, Escape The North, Tiredness Kills (with the Delightful Sausage), and The Jain Edwards Show.

“As inventive and unsettling as a one-man League of Gentlemen” – VICE

“An alternative tour de force” ★★★★ – EdFestMag

“Evans is clever, creative and funny” – The Scotsman
