Caitriona Dowden: Sesh Head

Along the way, expect stories of medieval banquets, 21st-century pub sessions and altercations with Morris dancers. Leicester Comedy Festival Best New Show nominee 2026. Chortle Best Newcomer nominee 2025. Chortle Student Comedy Award Winner 2022. 'Irresistibly idiosyncratic' (TheWeeReview.com), 'Blissfully esoteric... a special talent' (Fest), 'Comedy that goes where no laughs have ever been got before... absolutely hilarious' (Scotsman).

Chloe Jacobs: Twilight: Breaking Down
The year is 2009. The location is, physically, Slough, Berkshire and, spiritually, Forks, Washington. Chloe and her 11-year-old best pals have become obsessed with all things Twilight. Soon, enjoying the franchise is not enough for these voracious and unbalanced tweens. They must immerse themselves in this world and so Daughters of Volterra, a 30,000-word self-insert erotic fanfiction, is born.
Join comedian and improviser Chloe Jacobs as she guides you through the hilarious and fevered imaginings of her vampire-obsessed youth. This show asks the important questions: what does it mean to be a superfan? What compels us to write? And... Bella! Where the hell have you been, loca?
