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:Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox
DESCRIPTION:Fresh from playing their 1\,000th show\, retro musical collective Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ) has announced the UK leg of their 2025\, Magic & Moonlight World Tour. The group will headline the famed Royal Albert Hall in London before visiting Northampton in May. \n“If we’ve learned anything from ten years of touring the world\, it’s that great music has the ability to transcend time and space in a way that is best described as ‘magic\,” says Postmodern Jukebox creator and show director\, Scott Bradlee. \nConcertgoers can expect to enter a parallel musical universe where modern-day earworms and iconic pop hits alike are reimagined in classic genres like 1920s jazz\, Swing\, Doo-wop and Motown\, and brought to life by a cast of some of the world’s best singers\, dancers\, and instrumentalists. Think The Great Gatsby meets Sinatra at the Sands meets Back To The Future. \nThe rare concert act that appeals across generations\, older audience members will fall in love with the timeless sounds and nostalgic sensibilities\, while younger fans will be thrilled by the fresh take on current pop culture and the sheer virtuosity of the performers on stage. Dress vintage\, for the full effect!

SUMMARY:Rob Beckett: Giraffe
DESCRIPTION:Yes! Bobby Beckles is back on tour.  Smashing the life out of the M25\, M1\, M5 and any other road that’s in my way. From Bromley to Brisbane\, my new show Giraffe is going worldwide. \nExpectations on me: put on 3 stone from takeaways and post-show drinking. \nExpectations of you: leave the gig happier than when you arrived. \nMy wife thinks it’s going to be tough for me to be away from the family and don’t get me wrong\, I do love my children/podcast content providers… but I also enjoy a lie-in and a hotel buffet breakfast. I think I’ll cope. \nWhat else is there to do? Sit next to your partner on the sofa scrolling TikTok in silence again?  You did that the last three nights. See you there! \nHost of Sky’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and Rob & Romesh Vs. He’s also the unmistakable voice of Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating and the smash-hit podcast Parenting Hell.
