He is a master storyteller, lightning-fast improviser, keen observer of the absurd and at heart a very silly, funny boy. He joins us before heading out on a major national tour in 2027, so make sure you grab the chance to catch him in these unique surroundings.

ARCHIE MADDOCKS

Archie is a confident, cheerful, provocative and most importantly hilarious BAFTA-award winning stand-up comedian armed with a natural stage presence, quick acerbic wit and a ‘winning smile.’ Much in demand on the national circuit and internationally, Archie’s style lends itself to any environment, whether that be rowdy weekend comedy club or festival shows. Quick on his feet, with a warm and affable energy, Archie has brought his punchy stand-up to some of the biggest clubs in the UK, and as far afield as South Africa and the USA. Oh yeah, and he's also a tremendous playwright working with some of the major theatres in the country. A funnier renaissance man you will struggle to find.
