Josh Glanc: The Race Car Musical: Work-in-Progress
Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Josh Glanc is making a musical. It’s about car racing. It’s also about him making a musical about car racing. It's not finished, but you can watch him figure it out. Multi-instrumentalist Connor Morel joins Josh as he attempts to perform his 90s-movie inspired-comedy-musical that might be more a comedy show about making a musical comedy, than a musical, but is also definitely a musical but is still a work-in-progress. “Imagine Robin Williams but Australian” New York Times “An extraordinary Talent” ★★★★ Scotsman “Absolute nonsense and an absolute pleasure” ★★★★ Times “Bonkers brilliant” ★★★★ Sydney Morning Herald

Fab Goualin - Mixed Messages
Edinburgh debut from BBC New Comedy Award 2025 semi-finalist, Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2025 finalist and So You Think You're Funny? 2024 finalist, Fab Goualin . A show about being mixed-race, middle class, and misunderstood. Growing up, Fab often being the only person of colour in the room meant a lifetime of awkward assumptions, accidental anthropology, and people confidently explaining his own identity to him. Too "something" for certain crowds, not "something enough" for others, he became a master of the code-switch. But the real confusion wasn't just external, it was internal.
Reclaim the Comedy Night 2
After our successful first event we will be back, bringing together comedians, comedy club promoters and industry professionals for an important – and entertaining – conversation about harassment in the live comedy industry. We’ll kick off with a comedy show where comedians perform their unique responses to experiences of harassment and assault. The show will be followed by an open space discussion where you tell us what topics we most need to talk about. Together, we’ll find our next steps towards a live comedy industry that is not only dynamic and hilarious but also secure and supportive for all. This event forms part of a research project run by the University of Kent. You’ll have the opportunity to hear about our work so far from researchers and some of the comedians who have participated in it, and to shape the direction of our future work.
Sameera Bhalotra Bowers: What Is Going On? WIP
Sameera’s mum was proud when she graduated with a degree in Economics from Cambridge. Less so when she went to clown school. Now Sameera needs to find a job. On LinkedIn, she is a “changemaker, global innovator and value-driven impact leader.” But in life, she has no idea what she’s doing. In this multimedia comedy hour, Sameera attempts to navigate this absurd world. She searches for clarity through psychic guidance, grapples with the science of perfectly spherical cows, plots her rise as the leader of an Indian tutoring empire and wants to make her grandma proud. If all else fails, she plans to become the first 22-year-old living in an old-age nursing home. Sameera was a member of the Cambridge Footlights in 2025 and trained at École Philippe Gaulier clown school in France in 2026. Her show What Is Going On? enjoyed sell-out runs at both Camden Fringe and Brighton Fringe in 2025 and 2026, receiving critical acclaim. She also performed in the 5-star, award-winning comedy play Penelope Quadrangle at the Edinburgh Fringe, in which critics called her performance “genius” (Varsity). She now brings a new work-in-progress version of What Is Going On? to London. ★★★★½ The Reviews Hub: “Refreshingly absurdist…beautiful awareness of language”. ★★★★ The Obscurity: “She’s a natural born storyteller… catch this before they’re famous”. ★★★★ London Pub Theatres: “Sharp observation of the absurd” ★★★★ The Tab: “Utterly delightful” Chortle (Steve Bennett): “Bold and quirky; A comic we will surely see plenty more of”
Newman & Sapper
They say it takes balls to do Stand Up – well Newman & Sapper are good sports, if not good at sport…. more lower league (fighting relegation) than chasing premiere status.

Refereeing their efforts is professional compere and comedian Gordon Steggall. Thank goodness someone knows what they’re doing. The show will be recorded.

No twitching curtain escapes her notice. And no-one knows how to uncover a secret like a northern nightmare neighbour… “The UK’s funniest queen” - To Do List “Dark humour hits the mark and soars” - Corr Blimey “Rude, crude and joyously uncouth” - The List “Her garish quips and outlandish tales are delightfully entertaining” - Entertainment Now
