Zoe Cousin and Justina Seselskaite Work In Progress

Zoe Cousin: Paul Sykes is Back on the Family Patch (WIP)

Paris. Panama City. Pontefract. Pyongyang. He's been abart a bit. But now he's back on the family patch, and it's like he never went away.

Join Wakefield's infamous hardman Paul Sykes, on a journey about survival, self-discovery and being a big fish in a big pond (Wakefield is the 11th largest city in the UK, when you consider wider districts).

You might laugh, you might cry, you will learn how to punch someone in the f***ing earhole.

As seen on BBC3. BBC New Comedy Awards 2025 regional finalist. So You Think You're Funny 2025 semi-finalist. Zoe also appeared on BBC1's Bargain Hunt in 2021 where she made a total loss of £110. Paul has never been on Bargain Hunt, though he did have a tense clash with David Dickinson in 1998 over Paul's claim to have come up with his catchphrase "cheap as chips". Dickinson has refused to comment on the matter.

Justina Seselskaite: Settled work In progress

Settled has been developed through sold-out previews and festival performances, including Leicester Comedy Festival, Lancaster Comedy Festival, Nottingham Comedy Festival, RAM Comedy Festival, and many previews across the country.

Blizzard Comedy described the show as "tight, packed full of punchlines, narratively satisfying, and expertly presented," calling it "a masterclass in how to approach a full-length show."

Settled is a witty exploration of Justina's journey as an immigrant navigating life in the UK. Moving to the UK in 2014, Justina shares the challenges and absurdities of adapting to a new culture with humour and authenticity.
