Terror At The Haunted Starbucks: a Weirdos Comedy Halloween Special
Be prepared to scream! Terror awaits! Nightmares are certain! Can we take your name for the order? It’s… TERROR AT THE HAUNTED STARBUCKS, the Weirdos Comedy annual Hallowe'en show. This yearly comedy tradition: is part arthouse comedy farce, part terrifying horror pantomime with a cast of the very best character comedy, sketch and stand-up oddballs the London Comedy scene has to offer. While we are a bit weird the show is for all tastes (newbies welcome), highly interactive, highly daft and very almost rehearsed. Audience are very welcome to come in fancy dress (you don't have to, but it is fun). A Weirdos Comedy production Written & Directed by Adam Larter "You never forget how to enjoy an evening in the company of these joyous fools. Basically: prepare yourself for the silliest, happiest, most incredible escapism, and just cling on for the ridiculous ride". ToDoList London "The knockabout spirit in which it’s delivered makes for a fun evening precisely BECAUSE it is so ramshackle, not despite it." - Chortle Best Show Nominee – Leicester Comedy Festival 2021/2022 Event of the Year – Chortle Awards - 2017
Adam Larter: Who Remembers The 90S?
A weird, colourful, musical rollercoaster through a weird colourful decade. Who Remembers the 90s is an arthouse update on the traditional nostalgia show from everyone’s favourite weirdo Adam Larter. “You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, you’ll perhaps wallow a little in the lurid, technicolour nostalgia of it all, and then you’ll sing and dance like the weirdo you always want to be.” ***** ToDoList London “A really uplifting hour of silliness from Adam Larter, and enormous fun whether you remember the 90s or not!” British Comedy Guide

It’s a Sherlock Holmes recital, but Watson’s a nightmare. A solo comedy adaptation from the writer of Death Drop and the Misty Divine Mysteries. Based on the story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

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

Richard Ashcroft Revived My Libido WIP
Lockdown ended. The cat died. And suddenly... men were not so paused. We are thrilled to present a rambunctious new show from the brilliant Mel Hudson (KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU WITH ALAN PARTRIDGE, THE CATHERINE TATE SHOW, HUDSON AND PEPPERDINE) - an inspirational story of a sexual reawakening just metres from a 'Forever Home for One’ - at Crystal Palace Park Bowl. Mel had accepted her fate as a celibate cat lady who had "raw dogged menopause" without the hormones. But one momentously revitalising musical event changed everything. Part memoir, part desperate attempt to get Richard Ashcroft’s attention in some way, this show is a must-see for all middle-aged women, their partners, their grown-up kids, and everyone who wants to hear about Mel’s libido. ‘ What an honest and funny show - so cleverly insightful and life-affirming ’ - Phil Clarke, producer, PEEP SHOW ‘ Hilarious from start to finish. Mel Hudson is a master of comedy … do not miss this jewel !’ ‘ I haven’t laughed so much in ages ’ ‘ An unexpected climax so gloriously redemptive, it’s like being showered in champagne - definite uplift !’ - Audience quotes, first preview at Museum of Comedy

Join Gary Faulds, the Glaswegian comedian who’s survived every type of life crisis imaginable, in Panic At The Midlife Disco. With his kids getting older and the looming reality of mortality getting closer, Gary’s having a hilarious meltdown – and you’re invited to the party. From desperate attempts to stay “cool” with his kids to grappling with his rapidly growing waistline and crumbling youth, Gary’s journey through midlife is anything but graceful. Expect gut busting stories, sharp wit and a brutally honest look at the chaos of growing up, getting old and trying to keep it together while everything falls apart. It’s a comedy show that proves the only thing more awkward than a midlife crisis is trying to laugh about it.
James Campbell’s Comedy 4 Kids: Reducks
James invented the idea of proper stand-up for children in 2001. Since then he has been travelling the world, bringing high-quality laughter to children in thousands of schools, libraries, theatres, festivals anywhere that will have him really.

This show is twice as funny as anything you’ve seen before so cover yourself in glue, roll around in glitter for five minutes and then come to the show shouting, “I’m a massive disco maggot!” until someone asks you to leave.
