Stand-up comic and card-carrying human disaster Martha Casey is still not sure how to be an adult. Her brain is wired like a broken telephone exchange, she likes her murderous cat and 90s sci-fi more than most humans, and her sexuality can best be described by the phrase “Hnng?” Her first solo show delves into the mysteries of life, asking such philosophical quandaries as: when during fisting is it appropriate to do a silly voice? It is OK that both her cat and her dates call her Mummy? What credentials do you need in order to qualify as a milf? Was she supposed to grow up and be normal at ...

Life is full of risks. Driving your car, ice skating, reheating rice. To award winning comedian James Trickey, putting on a work in progress feels like a pretty big risk. But sometimes the biggest risks have some of the most entertaining outcomes (in this case a fully formed show). The risk to you is the price of a ticket and an hour of your time. The potential outcome is the opportunity to have an hour of laughs and great vibes! So why not take the plunge and come to see this 'Magnificent' (Chortle.co.uk) comedian work towards his debut!

Jody will be performing the entire escapade solo. He will play every character, switching between them in a whirlwind of chaos, all set to an epic soundtrack. Oh, and he'll be narrating the whole glorious train wreck as himse...
