The Alasdair Beckett-King Mysteries

Winner Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2017.
Laura Lexx: Tyrannosaurus Lexx
Evolution is tricky - just ask the dinosaurs. A few years ago, Laura (Chortle Awards nominee) evolved into a full-time wife and comedian. It didn't quite go as planned. Following her smash debut ‘Lovely', Laura aims her trademark comedy kaleidoscope at marriage, feminism, identity and the grinning idiots that built Stonehenge. Indulge in a whirlwind celebration of everything that's right about slowly turning into your mother and everything that's wrong with town criers. 30-something Laura's take on life is infectiously optimistic.

Jessica Fostekew: The Silence Of The Nans
(Read in film-trailer voice): “Last summer Jessica did two reasonably significant things. One, a story of pure joy. The other, a tale of entrapment, torment and gelato. This show tells the latter - "the horrid one”. Co-host of hit podcast The Guilty Feminist, Jessica Fostekew’s epic comedy-horror-story is the perfect antidote to finding yourself all at sea. Or up s**t creek without a paddle.
