“Comedy, music and more…”
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun 
A double-bill of Edinburgh comedy previews, from The Mash Report’s anchorman, Nish Kumar, and veteran left-wing firebrand, Mark Steel.
“If you like your comedy to be intelligent, inventive, thought-provoking and delivered with a passion, urgency and enthusiasm that makes an hour feel like a fantastic ten minutes, then you’re going to love Nish Kumar’s show. If you don’t like your comedy like that, then probably just go somewhere else, but you’ll be missing out on a corker.” – TimeOut
“Steel is lightning fast and knows his crowd. We end up sharing in his sense of overwhelming incredulity but also seeing the humour – and buying into his love of this pluralist, multi-cultural and overwhelmingly tolerant country. ” – Oxford Times
SOLD OUT!
NB – Mark Steel has replaced the previously billed Angela Barnes, who has had to cancel this preview.
A double-bill of Edinburgh comedy previews, from The Mash Report’s anchorman, Nish Kumar, and Portsmouth’s greatest export, Suzi Ruffell.
“If you like your comedy to be intelligent, inventive, thought-provoking and delivered with a passion, urgency and enthusiasm that makes an hour feel like a fantastic ten minutes, then you’re going to love Nish Kumar’s show. If you don’t like your comedy like that, then probably just go somewhere else, but you’ll be missing out on a corker.” – TimeOut
“Ruffell has nabbed the working class comedy crown for her generation. Sparky, energising, fun, an accomplished act who knows how to engage an audience” – Chortle

“Life is never quite as straight as it seems…”
What happens when you tumble out of the closet and find yourself trying to work out exactly where you are on the gender and sexuality spectrum?
Rainbow Heart, the new musical show from The Bleeding Obvious endeavours to describe the experience through songs and tales of joy, grief, happiness, loss and defiance.
Touring again in 2018, it’s been referred to as “hilarious”, “thoughtful” and “astounding”. Featuring tracks from her debut album as well as new tunes, let The Bleeding Obvious take you on a rollercoaster rainbow ride…

One of the Caz’s most beloved regulars, Mags, has been given a terminal diagnosis of advanced blood-born melanoma.
One major thing on her bucket list is to see the Northern Lights.
She wants it to be like the Coke advert, with full colour overhead, sitting on an iceberg, next to a polar bear.
We think this is entirely reasonable and we want to try to help her reach her goal.
There will be high-end entertainment from some of Brighton’s best performing artists!
Expect Burlesque, Singing, Comedy, Dancing, Games and a Raffle!
If you would like to donate a prize for the raffle, please message one of the event hosts.
Caroline Of Brunswick, Monday 23rd July, 8pm.
Thank you.
A double-bill of Edinburgh comedy previews, from one of Manchester’s top stand-ups, Justin Moorhouse, and BBC New Comedy Award 2017 finalist Andy Field.
“Here was not a moment without laughter. [Justin] smashed the hour out of the park, jammed with vivid characters and great comic ‘Northernisms’, really consolidating Moorhouse’s position as top ‘Northern bloke’ comic.” – Chortle
“Field’s short and disjointed sketches are hilariously entertaining. His show might be indulgent, but it is one that will make you laugh until it hurts nonetheless. You’re likely to find yourself still laughing long after it’s over as little flashbacks of his genius pop back into your mind. For an hour of hilarious escapism, look no further.” – Edinburgh Festivals Magazine
Advance tickets £7+b.f. / £10 on the door.
