SUMMARY:Brian Bilston and Henry Normal
DESCRIPTION:Brian Bilston and Henry Normal appear together for the first time in a show which one critic has described as ‘two people reading some poems’. \nAlong the way\, they will be drawing on their vast catalogue of crowd favourites – and throwing in new poems\, to prevent becoming their own tribute bands. \nNot ones to overpromise\, Brian and Henry are prepared to commit to delivering the greatest poetry show in the history of the world: an evening of poems to be enjoyed\, not endured. \nBrian Bilston has been described as the Banksy of poetry and Twitter’s unofficial Poet Laureate. With over 200\,000 followers on social media\, Brian has become truly beloved by the online community. \nHenry Normal is a writer\, poet\, TV and film producer\, founder of the Manchester Poetry Festival (now the Literature Festival) and co-founder of the Nottingham Poetry Festival. \nPlease note that this performance contains some swearing and light sexual references.

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. Loads of absolutely cracking gags. \nEnds was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe. Starting as a work-in-progress show\, it became the word-of-mouth hit of the festival\, culminating in Shah winning the 2023 Sky Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show. \nSince then\, Ends enjoyed 5 sold-out weeks at London’s Soho Theatre\, and has been performed at both the prestigious Royal Court Theatre and the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in Los Angeles. \nHe’s now finally able to take it on tour\, and he’s very much looking forward to it. You should come\, it’ll be good.

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?
