This split bill brings together two comics who appear to be very similar on paper (female blonde 40-somethings who smile a lot) but who have led very different lives up until they take the stage together for their split-bill featuring two work-in-progress comedy sets.Alicia Davison, a mum with an unusual career choice, is a Sussex native who started out in comedy in 2019. If shes familiar to you, thats because she runs and MCs her own successful sell-out mixed line-up gig, with pros and up and coming acts, three times a month on Saturdays afternoons in Brighton. Shell share her positive journey from being HOT to hot!Rabiah Coon hails from further afield which her accent quickly reveals and has been performing comedy since 2019. Shell share her shortcomings, overcomings and misbecomings navigating a new country, her persistence as a single person, life with a chronic illness and reckoning with her surname. Its ok. You can laugh about the illness. Thats what she does!This is a chance to see two up and coming comics sharing their new work in what will eventually become full hours. Dont miss it!

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.
