Subscription video-on-demand platform specialising exclusively in stand-up comedy specials NextUp has announced specials from Becky Brunning, Njambi McGrath, Sam Rhodes and Bec Hill in December.
Funny Women finalist and Broadchurch Actor Becky Brunning delights with Bloom. A tale of two halves, the show focuses on her relationship with her parents as a child, and her future as she considers starting a family with her wife.
Njambi McGrath doesn’t shy away from the tricky questions in her 2019 show ‘Accidental Coconut’. A whistle-stop tour of African history, the show explores the juxtaposition of people mourning from the loss of former glory and those mourning how that former glory impacted on their lives. In a time when the British public are re-examining who they are, it is poignant to see comedy that tackles the story and experience of coming from the other side of the empire.
Aussie comedian Bec Hill brings us an inventive mix of political commentary and character driven comedy as she poses as a time traveller giving advice to the audience on the shitshow of a future they are set to encounter. A creative use of props and excellently written gags make for a brilliant hour from the Fringe stalwart.
And finally, innovative musician comedian Sam Rhodes is well known on the London scene due to his East London open mic nights. Here with a show of his own, Rhodes was dubbed ‘one of the most innovative musical comedians out there' by the British Comedy Guide Rhodes earlier this year.
