SUMMARY:Comedy Crate Festival 2026 - Part One
DESCRIPTION:3 Venues – The Charles Bradlaugh\, The Black Prince and The Lamplighter\n\n\n\n\n\n15 acts in total across the day. You’ll get to see a maximum of 5 shows\, choosing between the 15 acts. It will be wristband entry. Collection of wristbands will be on the day\, giving you access to all venues. All the shows will be Edinburgh Previews or Work in Progress shows. These are great opportunities to see acts try out some new stuff in preparation for their Edinburgh runs and upcoming tour shows. Each show will be roughly 1 hour long. There will also be half hour intervals between each show\, with a 1 hour interval after the 2nd show to allow for a decent food break. \n \nRhys James: Chop Logic\nRhys made a discovery that could fix everything. It’s been staring him in the face this whole time\, in a mirror held behind his head. If he can somehow ignore his own problems\, he might just be able to solve yours. A fast\, forensic hour of big ideas and gag-dense overthinking from one of Britain’s sharpest stand-ups. Star of Mock the Week\, also seen furrowing his brow on QI and Live At The Apollo. ‘Scintillating stand-up’ **** (Times). \n \nPaul Foot: The Future\nHello and OMG. Everything’s wrong in the world. When did optimism end? Remember years ago when people were excited for the future\, with predictions of people flying around on jet packs\, friendly robots that wheeled themselves round the kitchen making tea\, and solar powered bidets? Well\, we don’t have fun visions for the future like that anymore\, do we? \nIn this show\, which\, much like human civilisation\, is a Work-in-Progress\, Paul tries to find a way forward for humanity that isn’t environmental collapse\, war and pointless arguments. His medium is stand-up comedy\, his allotted time is 58 minutes to one hour\, his message is hope (hopefully). \n\nChortle Awards 2024 Best Show Nominee\n(ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2023 Best Show Winner\nNext Up Biggest Award in Comedy 2023 Nominee\n\n \nLucy Porter: Let Yourself Go\nFestival favourite Lucy returns with a brand new work in progress show about the power of letting yourself go – in every sense. Whether that means embracing your wrinkles and love handles whilst living in a slanket\, or having a couple of babychams and dancing like nobody’s watching (and if you’re a middle-aged woman\, they’re probably not). It’s also about letting go of the person you’ve always thought you are\, and using your midlife crisis to pursue new goals and reinvent yourself. \n \nStuart Goldsmith: Canary\nStuart was as scared about the climate crisis as you are. But he did the reading\, and now he’s terrified. Come and watch him do something about it. In his most honest\, hilarious\, and hopeful hour yet\, Stuart Goldsmith (Live At The Apollo\, Netflix is a Joke\, Conan) applies his ‘expert stand-up’ (Sunday Times) to the apparent collapse of absolutely everything. ‘The funny side of climate change… No\, really!’ (Times). ***** \n \nGlenn Moore: Work In Progress\nThe best showcase of pure joke-writing skill on the Fringe” (Guardian). Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Glenn Moore has written too many jokes again. As seen on Live At The Apollo\, Have I Got News For You\, Mock The Week\, Cats Does Countdown. As heard on The Dave Berry Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio\, The News Quiz\, Just A Minute\, and his own Radio 4 series Glenn Moore’s Almanac. \n“An absolutely brilliantly-crafted joy from start to finish”  Mail On Sunday (5 stars) \n \nEd Night: We’ll Be Alright\, Darling\nUnderrated stand-up and asthmatic wretch Ed Night lumbers back to the Fringe with yet another new show. Prepare to have your ribs tickled to the max with material about all sorts of different topics and subjects. 2025 Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show nominee (it’s not a science). ‘A singular talent who very much deserves a place on everyone’s must-see list’ (Skinny). ‘This is comedy as poetry… so good it seems effortless’ (Standard). \n \nRob Kemp: Beatlesjuice\nCult comedy horror movie\, Beetlejuice\, retold through the songs of not-even-remotely cult band\, The Beatles. A multimedia mashup tribute to the Fab Four and the Ghost with the Most by the award-winning creator of The Elvis Dead. So clap your hands or rattle your jewellery\, cos it’s showtime! \n \nSara Barron: SLOP\nSara has planned a series of high kicks\, insults for your average-looking granny\, and thoughts on Jeffrey Dahmer’s Netflix special. Then – separate but adjacent – some thoughts on Gary Barlow. \nSara Barron is one of the fastest-rising comedians of her generation. Since her 2018 debut at the Edinburgh Fringe\, she’s starred on shows including Live at the Apollo (BBC)\, Would I Lie to You? (BBC) and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC). \n \nRoss Smith: Told You So\nBuilding my next show so here’s some work in progress shows. Watch as I give birth\, suckle\, raise and nurture new jokes and send them off into the world trying not to cry. Come along- tell your friends\, tell your enemies. As seen on Apple TV’s Slow Horses and Karl Pilkingston’s Sick Of It. \n \nSooz Kempner: Imposter\nAward-winning comedian Sooz Kempner (Doom in Doctor Who’s Doom’s Day\, The Now Show) has always felt a little like an imposter. Except in one area: singing! She could always rely on THAT. But when Sooz’s voice suddenly stopped working the way it always had before\, she had to face her imposter syndrome head-on and find out once and for all: is it imposter syndrome\, or is she truly an imposter? A stand-up show about finding your voice\, silencing trolls and Princess Diana. \n \nMad Ron Presents Identity Theft – The Gameshow\nExpect the absurd as Uxbridge’s third hardest man and multi award-winning Mad Ron presents a hilariously surreal game show\, where he tries to guide his comedy apprentice as a glamorous game show host. ‘Keeps the onslaught of jokes coming\, contributing to the rowdily fun atmosphere’ (Steve Bennett\, Chortle.co.uk). ‘The funniest most inventive nut bag show I think I’ve ever seen I love it love it love it!’ (Terry Alderton) \n \nAndy Field: Giddy Up\nA new hour of stand up comedy from Chortle’s Student Comedian of the Year (11 years ago). As an ambitious young stand-up\, a Pleasance Fringe run felt like the start of something great\, but all these years on\, missed opportunities feel like they outnumber the successes\, and a question hangs in the air\, stubbornly growing with each passing birthday\, ‘have I wasted my life?’ So he’s back to decide\, in the same room as before. Only this time\, instead of a kooky young upstart\, he’s a middle-aged eccentric man. \n \nFiona Allen: White Lies\nAfter a sellout debut Edinburgh 2023 show\, Fiona Allen star of Smack The Pony returns with her new show White Lies. Fiona needs a perfect lie to avoid her pet hate of social gatherings. Running out of time and patience she encounters every obstacle a day can throw at her. It all threatens to derail her quest to find the perfect lie. She must confront her worst fear: her neighbours party. It’s a fate worse than death and the clock is ticking. She’s going to have to war-game it. Honestly. ‘Punchlines delivered with cutting execution’ (Scotsman). \n \nDarren Harriott: Activated\nNew house\, new life\, new outlook?…dunno about that\, Double Edinburgh award nominee Darren Harriott’s had a brand new show. It’s all about coming to terms with certain things in life… death\, dads\, and…. dancing? Yeah. \nAs seen on Live at the Apollo (BBC)\, Would I Lie To You (BBC)\, Dancing on Ice (ITV)\, Love Island: Aftersun (ITV2)\, Bake Off: Extra Slice (C4) as well BBC’s Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel\, Richard Osman’s House Of Games\, and The Apprentice You’re Fired. Twice nominated at the Edinburgh Fringe for Best Show\, as well performing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival\, in 2023 he was named “Pick of the Fringe”. Darren presents his own BBC Radio show from his home city of Birmingham. \n \nCatherine Bohart: Work In Progress\nCatherine Bohart – as seen on Live at the Apollo\, QI and LOL Ireland is back with a new show. Well\, the beginnings of a new show. Well\, she’s certainly thinking about beginning a new show. Certainly she’s certain she should be. Come watch this Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee humble herself before you while she tries new jokes as you give her real time feedback. \nVenues:\nThe Charles Bradlaugh – 1 Earl St\, Northampton NN1 3AU \nThe Black Prince – 15 Abington Square\, Northampton NN1 4AE \nThe Lamplighter (Saturday only) – 66 Overstone Rd\, Northampton NN1 3JS \nPlease note\, all venues have a limited capacity\, if there is an act you really want to see\, please get to that venue in plenty of time. \n*Line ups are always subject to change for reasons out of our control. We always try to book the best acts around the country\, however with that comes the risk of last minute cancellations due to TV work\, corporate events etc. Comics are also human\, so ill health also plays its part.

SUMMARY:The Irish House Party
DESCRIPTION:At last\, an Irish music show that has come out of Ireland without the clichés that usually follow! There are no twee costumes or backing tracks here. Instead you get incredibly talented musicians and dancers who simply want to bring you the sound and fun of Ireland in an intimate and homely setting. \nThe live music\, Irish dancing and banter is infectious and enters the psyche in seconds. The show itself features All Ireland champion musicians and world champion dancers who combine a unique blend of light hearted audience interaction with fascinating stories about the music and the instruments themselves. \nThe original show was set up in Dublin by a group of musicians who wanted visitors to the city to experience what a real Irish house party is like. It’s all presented in a fun and humorous way resulting in a fabulous theatre going experience. \nDon’t miss the chance to experience a true taste of an Irish House Party live on the theatre stage!

SUMMARY:MARMOZETS
DESCRIPTION:are back — raw\, relentless and unapologetically themselves. Formed in Yorkshire by siblings Becca and Jack Bottomley alongside Sam and Josh Macintyre\, the band return with brand new music and a renewed fire\, ready to take on stages around the world once again. \nTheir explosive debut album The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets stormed onto the scene in 2014\, earning Kerrang!’s prestigious Album of the Year award and widespread critical acclaim\, including a standout 4/5 review from The Guardian. Famed for their fearless energy\, razor-sharp musicianship and massive\, hook-driven melodies\, Marmozets quickly built a reputation as one of the UK’s most thrilling live acts. \nFollowing the success of second album Knowing What You Know Now\, the band took their ferocious live show across the globe from Download Festival to Splendour in the Grass and Summer Sonic. \nAfter stepping out of the spotlight\, Marmozets have returned revitalised\, channelling the intensity that first defined them into a powerful new sound. Expect heavyweight riffs\, towering choruses and a band that wastes no time landing knockout blows.

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of drawings from the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery collection. \nThis exhibition explores drawing as a fundamental artistic language\, presenting preparatory sketches and finished works that reveal how ideas take shape on paper. Through the delicate studies of Henry Moore\, the atmospheric sketches of Walter Sickert\, the imaginative designs of Sir Edward Burne Jones\, and the expressive drawings of Clare Abbatt\, amongst others\, visitors are invited to consider drawing not merely as a preliminary step but as an art form in its own right. The works on display highlight how artists across different periods and practices use line\, tone\, and observation to experiment\, problem solve\, and refine their vision. Together\, they celebrate drawing’s enduring role as a tool for exploration\, invention\, and creative thinking.

SUMMARY:ASTRONOMY
DESCRIPTION:A UNIVERSE FROM SCRATCH by Julian Onions. Astronomy is mostly a visual and non-experimental science. We can only look at what is out there but can’t bring stars and galaxies into the lab. However\, we can build them inside computers and attempt to simulate them. In this talk\, we will see how simulations can show us how the universe evolves and what we can do with them\, and what areas we are still struggling to make models of. Guests are very welcome.

SUMMARY:Rose Finn Kelcey: House Rules
DESCRIPTION:Arts Collective launches its new gallery programme with an exhibition revisiting the pioneering work of British conceptual artist Rose Finn-Kelcey\, curated by Emer Grant. This marks the first presentation of the artist’s work in her hometown of Northampton. \nFeaturing photographic\, installation and video works loaned from national collections and archives\, the exhibition recontextualises Finn-Kelcey’s groundbreaking practice through architectural space and coded forms. It considers how formal systems and power structures shape experience through architecture\, language\, ritual and atmosphere. \nExhibited publicly for the first time since its original installation\, Bar Doors (1991) captures architectural thresholds\, foregrounding moments of passage between spaces. The photographic documentation of Finn-Kelcey’s site-specific installation—seven saloon-style doors installed in a Houston city park—invites viewers to reconsider familiar architectural features as markers of access and permission. \nThe exhibition also explores Finn-Kelcey’s fascination with spirituality and its connections to the commercial and domestic structures of contemporary life\, featuring works such as It Pays to Pray (1990)\, God Kennel – A Tabernacle (1992) and Jolly God (1997). Her iconic flag works are also presented\, including documentation of Power for the People (1972)\, in which a collective political declaration was placed directly onto the monumental architecture of Battersea Power Station while it remained operational. \nThroughout the exhibition\, architecture\, movement and attention shape how the works are encountered. Finn-Kelcey’s work offers a lens through which to experience 24 Guildhall Road as an active structure—shaped by play\, language and collective imagination. \n\n\n\n\nImage Credit: Rose Finn-Kelcey Bar Doors (Photograph of installation) 1991 \nWood\, Houston International Festival\, Buffalo Bayou Park\, Houston\, Texas.
