Good Ship Comedy feat. Maisie Adam

When: Thursday 8th February 2024

Where: Swimmer At The Grafton in London

Few Comics had a year like Maisie did in 2023, from her many TV appearances, numerous bill-topping sets, and an amazing role in the Lionesses World Cup campaign - plus a hit podcast with Suzi Ruffell Big Kick Energy born out of such work - Maisie is on the top of everyone's tounges.

That's why this intimate opportunity to see her in London in February, courtesy of Good Ship Comedy, is not to be taken lightly. Her sets are always rammed with witty observations, high-octane energy and some right good jokes, so just get the tickets, and worry about how you'll be fixing the split sides later.

Ivo Graham: Organised Fun

When: Thursday 18th April 2024

Where: Old Fire Station, Carlisle

When it comes to comedy, Ivo Graham uses his overly posh accent to his advantage. Easily able to get you on side, he can quickly go off on mad tangents that will soon leave you in stitches. Trying to enter his most chaotic era to date, prepare for a much riskier show than what he's put on before.
