Event information
Since 1997 XS Malarkey has been a Manchester institution, with compere Toby Hadoke bringing you the very best comedians at the lowest prices.
A minimum of just £3 for members and £6 for normal people- we keep tickets as low as possible to keep shows accessible, but if you can afford to pay more please do- we basically rely on those who can pay more than the minimum in order to pay for the shows. We are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit club, and we really depend on your support to keep these shows running, so we hugely appreciate any extra help! Thank you!
This week, we have a very special tour show for you, with support from Charlotte Cropper, and, of course MC Toby Hadoke :
Ben Pope: The Cut
Ben Pope ('a total delight' - Fest) brings his brand-new UK stand-up tour to Manchester.
Look, there's no easy way to put this. Last year, Ben got circumcised. On purpose, and as recommended by medical professionals. This show is a 55min inventory of his ensuing masculine panic. Expect jokes and stories on: the male ego, pillow talk, charity shops, the sublime mystery of having a father, and also exactly one pig.
It's a show about losing a part of yourself. A very specific part. See you there. Chop chop.
"Consistently funny and deceptively thoughtful" - The Scotsman
"Always spot-on" - The Skinny
"Excellent" - Joe Lycett
