Alex Franklin (Brighton Comedy Award Finalist/ BBC New Comedy Award Nominee) and Andy Watts (Max Turner Prize Winner/ So You Think Youre Funny Runner-Up) have landed, and are ready to deliver a split hour of absurd stand-up, music, and character comedy, from two of comedys fastest rising stars (thats them!).A tightly-scripted, impeccably delivered force of deadpan absurdism... Franklin exhibits winning comic control - VarsityAndy Watts [is] in supreme command of his performance, selling jokes hard with an attitude at the junction of confidence and affected desperation. - ChortleLaugh a minute! So expect exactly 60 laughs. But strong laughs! The sort of laughs you might only ever hear once or twice in a lifetime, perhaps from a newborn baby discovering colours for the first time, or the laugh of an old man as he laughs at the absurdity of his inevitable demise.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
