Summertime

Yo dudes, dudettes..
Hope you' are all smashing..

We're back doing free comedy at The Victoria on July 3rd with the most incredible headliner we've ever had, he's been all over your tv screen on Mock the Week, One Night Stand, Live at the Apollo, McIntyre's Roadshow and so on..

TOM STADE

He's the rock n roll of comedy so expect your genitals to sweat, bring talc..

Since arriving in the UK, Tom Stade has steadily earned a reputation as one of the most original and exciting stand-up talents around. He instantly made a splash on the UK circuit with his magnetic stage presence, irrepressible charm and first class story-telling, and after years topping the bill and playing at international comedy festivals around the globe, he is now established as a leading touring act in his own right and finds himself well on the road to being a household name.
