Join Tom and Mark as they try out new jokes and routines and crawl, like the slugs they are, towards what is traditionally expected of an hour of comedy.

Boasting over 269 000 followers on TikTok and Instagram, Toms wacky and wonderful humour draws people from all over the internet. His debut Edinburgh Fringe show, Hubba Hubba was an almost a sold-out run and described as an hour-long tour de force. Tom was the reserve/runner up on BBCs New Comedy Awards in 2022 along with the runner up for NextUps Biggest Award in Comedy for Best Show.

Mark is convinced that hes the only gay man in the world doing comedy so please be respectful and dont tell him otherwise! Rapidly making a name for himself both online and in the real world (!), Mark was shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award in 2022 and is performing regularly in the countrys biggest comedy clubs. Follow him on social media @markbittlestone or find him selling his underwear for money on Grindr. Catch him before he shoots off into the comedy stratosphere Broadway Baby.

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
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. 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. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
