SUMMARY:Ahir Shah: Ends
DESCRIPTION:Please note the date of this performance has been moved from Fri 14 March \n\nAhir Shah presents his award-winning stand-up show Ends. The show spans six decades\, three generations\, and two continents\, synthesising past and present in search of hope for the future. It’s funnier than it sounds\, honestly.

SUMMARY:Richard Herring: Can I Have My Ball Back?
DESCRIPTION:In 2021 Richard Herring went to his GP to find out why his right ball seemed to be growing bigger. It turned out that he had testicular cancer and one month later he was lying in hospital waiting to have his murderous gonad removed. Would he survive? (No spoilers!). \nFor a comedian who had done a whole show on male genitalia (Talking Cock) and written a book about toxic masculinity (The Problem With Men) this felt like some cruel trick of fate. \nWith extra dates added in 2025 for his much-anticipated return to stand-up after six years\, Richard talks bollocks and answers the question on everyone’s lips: Is a severed gonad in a jar a fitting prize to bring in for Taskmaster?

SUMMARY:…Earnest?
DESCRIPTION:The Edinburgh Fringe smash-hit …Earnest? arrives at Northampton following rave reviews ahead of an eagerly awaited West End run.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play gets underway\, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan… that is\, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue and an actual audience member is chosen to star in the show. \nWhat follows is a madcap medley of impromptu games and spontaneous solutions as the desperate director does his best to keep this faithful production going. But with stage whiskey being swapped\, off-the-cuff auditions being held and muffins being eaten (no matter what state they’re in)\, there’s just no telling what this unique version of The Importance of Being Earnest is going to throw up. Especially when more audience members are drafted in to replace an ever-thinning cast… With the script ripped up and rewritten\, can the show reach its fabulous finale\, just as Oscar Wilde intended? \nThis one-of-a-kind comedy sensation is completely different\, completely chaotic\, and completely Wilde every single night. And who knows\, you might even become a star yourself! Guaranteed to have you laughing whether you’re sitting in the audience… or performing onstage …Earnest? is perfect for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong and Noises Off! \n????? “Get this on the West End now\, please!” – Lost in Theatreland
