Royal and Derngate Theatre

They have two series of their own Channel 4 TV show, an iTunes-chart-topping podcast and now they’re tuning up their instruments once more to tour the country: it’s The Horne Section’s Hit Show! “Britain’s Funniest Band” (The Guardian) have made appearances on The Last Leg (Channel 4), Peter Crouch’s Year- Late Euros (BBC One),?they are Dictionary Corner regulars on?8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown?and the only band to ever host? Never Mind The Buzzcocks.  Separately, members of The Horne Section have performed with recording artists including Robbie Williams, Madness, Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse, George Ezra, Basement Jaxx, Disclosure and Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds. Unruly, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying, the six-headed comedy band includes five outstanding musicians and one non-musical stand-up. There’ll be comedy, songs, enthusiastic dancing, and a lot of mucking about. A brand-new show from the hugely talented band and Alex Horne, the creator and co-host of the BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning Taskmaster.

Join self-professed prick and star of Taskmaster, Rosie Jones as she heads back out on the road with her brand-new stand-up show. She’s talking about the big stuff: being single, the pressures of representing huge sections of the population, and gravy. Oh, and boobs. The BAFTA-nominated powerhouse returns with her loveable blend of cheek and charm following a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023. As seen on nearly everything, including Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show, The Royal Variety Performance, QI, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Cats Does Countdown, The Last Leg, Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back, Mock The Week, and soon to be on her very own upcoming sitcom. “Seldom can an hour in a prick’s company have been more enjoyable” The Guardian “Her jokes are beautifully crafted with no beat wasted and punchlines that take you by surprise” iTalkTelly
