Line-up:
Phil Wang - As Seen on Live at The Apollo, Have I Got News For You and Taskmaster
A new preview from the smart and silly comedy star, fresh from filming his Netflix special at the London Palladium.
"Hugely entertaining…a unique and properly funny stand-up comic" ★★★★ - The Times
Bridget Christie - Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner, as seen on Netflix
Work-in-progress from multi-award winning member of the metropolitan liberal elite and star of her own Netflix special. As seen on Room 101, Have I Got News for You, Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule.
"Ruthless self-mockery in a show that is playful and pugnacious in equal measure" ★★★★ - The Guardian
Ahir Shah - Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee 2017 & 2018, as seen on Live At The Apollo & Mock The Week
Double Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee Ahir Shah presents a new hour of stand-up ahead of a national tour. The show will be about significance, insignificance, and scurvy. Probably.
"Consistently insightful...a very funny, self-mocking comedy show" ★★★★ - The Guardian
"Intricately crafted, profoundly moving, howlingly funny" ★★★★★ - Telegraph
Shaparak Khorsandi - As seen on Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You & QI
A preview of Shaparak's new show, It Was The 90s - the decade that she was in her twenties and ‘ladette’ culture ruled the school. The decade when there was nothing to be done but party, and Shaparak found herself flying about London with hope in her heart, a tenner in her pocket and spare knickers in her handbag.
“She has plenty to say, and says it with pointedness and potency” – The Guardian
“Makes live comedy thrilling” – Evening Standard
Fern Brady - As seen on Live At The Apollo and Comedy Central's "Live From The Comedy Store"
Fern is one of the UK’s hottest comedy stars. Known for being totally unique and completely fearless, she presents a preview of her new show Autistic Bikini Queen in the wake of the BBC broadcast of her previous special, Power & Chaos.

Alex Kealy - Top 10 Jokes of Edinburgh 2019 (The Guardian)
