Settled has been developed through sold-out previews and festival performances, including Leicester Comedy Festival, Lancaster Comedy Festival, Nottingham Comedy Festival, RAM Comedy Festival, and many previews across the country.

Blizzard Comedy described the show as “tight, packed full of punchlines, narratively satisfying, and expertly presented,” calling it “a masterclass in how to approach a full-length show.”

Settled is a witty exploration of Justina's journey as an immigrant navigating life in the UK. Moving to the UK in 2014, Justina shares the challenges and absurdities of adapting to a new culture with humour and authenticity.

Justina is an award-winning comedian and a finalist in So You Think You’re Funny? She supported Hayley Ellis, Molly McGuinness, Avital Ash, Nina Gilligan, Mark Bittlestone and Katie Norris on tour and appeared on NextUp, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Radio Manchester. She’s been described as “Brilliant” by Micky Flanagan, “Very funny” by Kerry Godliman, and praised for being “The funniest person on stage” by The Stand Newcastle. Last year Justina was part of Best In Class - the award-winning working-class comedian showcase (Edinburgh Comedy Award & ISH Award winners).

Award winning comic Stephen Catling brings you his new WIP featuring some up and coming acts providing support.

When clowns can’t breathe water and fish can’t breathe air- what’s a poor clownfish to do in this cruel world?

In 2025, Catling (Malcolm Hardee Award Nominee 2023 & 2025) lost his slug mask. It was an essential part of his hit show ‘Moving on…really really slowly.’

This time, Stephen explores his life now that Autism has been “unmasked,” as well as his fin flapping rage against an increasingly soulless entertainment industry who knows what is going to be in store? A burlesque performing cabbage/lettuce? A rendition of Robbie Williams musical biopic Betterman but they casted a real chimp? Rage against the machine (Generative AI)?

Disclaimer: The show is not going to be about a literal clownfish or finding nemo. A colleague back in his lab days described him lovingly as psychotic Mighty Boosh and The British Comedy Guide called him “A bucking bronco of surrealism and scruffiness” if this sounds like your bag welcome aboard the crazy train.
