First things first – this is not your typical stand-up show. Don’t be upset – that’s a good thing. Alexis Dubus is here to give you all an in-depth, well researched lecture on the history of swearing. It’s educational, informative, sometimes unbelievable and overall entertaining.
Strangely enough, given the title, this show is about bad words. Lots of them. There is ample warning if you are somewhat offended by naughtiness, and the audience participation element of yelling out your favourite curse word should be enough to send any meek participants into …

Utter the words ‘university’ and ‘comedy’ in the same sentence and you’ll usually elicit a long groan from me. As much as I understand the need for students to start somewhere and trial their material, I really don’t need to be subjected to painful performances limited to re-enactments of South Park or Monty Python. But this festival, Tale of the Golden Lease has blown all my preconceptions away with a magnificent performance, and ultimately restored my faith in the art of comedy, theatre and performance.

Mark Watson is over-excited, manic, disorganised and quite good at his job.
All The Thoughts I’ve Had Since I Was Born is stand-up, plain and simple, and will appeal to all those punters who come to the festival for an experience that will excite, confuse and amuse them without stepping over any standard comfort levels. An impromptu start to the show with Watson appearing from within the audience should entertain those with a passion for pantomime, while Watson’s predictable audience banter feels more at home in a kids’ variety show, albeit …

Mathew Kenneally wants to talk to you about the culture of the post-hope buzz. The world after the excitement of Obama’s victory, after Kevin07’s popularity. The world where the stark reality of climate change, alcopops and the global financial crisis threaten to take all the fun out of life. But rather than lament on these rather depressing topics, this talented comic launches on them with a passion that turns it all around and has you chuckling for more.
There are times when Kenneally’s material does require a certain amount of political, …
