We're doing an outdoor gig at Jesus Green Lido!

Sadly Mike is ill, but we have a brilliant replacement in the form of

ANDREW MAXWELL!

As seen on Qi, Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Celebrity Juice, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and Mock The Week.

As well as being a regular on Radio 4 as the host of Welcome to Wherever You Are, he’s frequently on The News Quiz, which he has also guest hosted.

“Inspired. He is an unstoppable force” THE LIST ****

“He remains on top of his game… a brilliantly accomplished stand-up with a powerhouse, gimmick-free set that’s hard-hitting and hilarious, politically engaged but not soapboxing, personal but not navel-gazing.” CHORTLE

Plus ... Charmian Hughes.

Nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy Award 2016, comedian Charmian Hughes studied clowning under Philippe Gaulier and Theatre de Complicite but unable to uphold the mime vow of silence, ran away to play stand-up comedy clubs throughout the nation entertaining everyone from members of the Houses of Parliament to ‘Lifers’ in prison (not to be confused).

‘‘Charmian Hughes even in such a short time seems to give a sense of both the gravity and the humour of her comic potential.” – Broadway Baby

“A wonderful way with a curtain….Charmian is the poster girl for the natural sexagenarian and time spent with her is a joy. A genuinely enjoyable watch” – Kate Copstick, The Scotsman.

Plus ... Chloe Reynolds.

Chloe ( as seen on the BBC Comedy awards) used stand-up as a way of coming out as transgender — in hindsight, she could’ve just posted on Instagram. But instead, she drove to Coventry to tell 10 strangers. A lot.

Described as a livewire on stage, Chloe delivers silliness, sincerity, and relentless punchlines.

Leicester Comedy Festival Comedian of the Year 2026 – Winner.

NB - This is an outdoor gig and will go ahead in (pretty much) any weather. Please dress accordingly!
