Craig Hill
Date Location
Indulge yourself in a deliciously wicked evening of gloriously camp no-holds-barred comedy and pure, unadulterated fun.

'Hill actually has to wait until the audience stop laughing before he can start again. It’s absolutely hilarious' (Evening News). 'Wickedly subversive … Funny, charming and charismatic' (Metro). 'Funny as hell' (Scotland on Sunday).

Rhod Gilbert: The Man with the Flaming Battenberg Tattoo
Date Location
As seen on Live At The Apollo and Ask Rhod Gilbert. Following several sell-out UK tours and best-selling stand-up DVDs, the Welsh wonder is back with a brand new live show. His stand-up rants on life's minor irritations are legendary, but this year, he's a more mellow fellow altogether. He's now so laid-back he even let someone tattoo a Battenberg on him. Could it be the Mr Angry of comedy as you’ve never seen him before? 'Without doubt one of the best comedians anywhere in the world' (Time…
