Location: Gullivers

We are hugely excited to have another pair of fantastic comedians showcasing their newest full-length shows. Come along to Gullivers in the Northern Quarter on Monday 24th July for previews from the incredible Sam See and our very own Jonny Collins! Jonny Collins

An hour of jokes, musings and philosophies about gender, sexuality, and identity, from Blizzard Comedys own Jonny Collins. 11+ years in the game, theyre finally working on their first hour, delving into their own journey of self-discovery, the experiences of being a non-binary trans-femme individual in the modern day, and reflections on the very nature of how we perceive humanity.

Jonny is a force of nature on stage. A whirlwind of hilarity with a unique viewpoint, they energy and passion personified. XS Malarkey

"Jonny Collins is deceptively rapid-fire, with a gag rate that would shame most one-line merchants. They can bring a simmer to a boil with ease, and make a huge mess of your kitchen." James Ross (Quantum Leopard)

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.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society.
