A storytelling stand-up show that tackles the age-old question - can humans really change? We’ve all done things we’re ashamed of. And usually, we just push the memory deep down and pretend it never happened. Not me. I’m doing a whole stand-up show about them. I’ve gathered up all the worst things I’ve ever done in my life and turned them into a comedy show. And the maddest thing about it? Kidnapping a child is probably only number two. This is my third stand-up special after “Foreigner” (Edinburgh Fringe 2023) and “Has Anyone Seen My Dad?” (Brighton & Edinburgh Fringe 2024) which won ...

Love is a universal language, isn't it? When Italian-born Giacinto Palmieri met, and then married, London-born Alison, it was his best chance to find out. With this show, Giacinto returns to his long-time obsession of language (he might be the only comedian out there with a routine about phrasal verbs), this time seen through the prism of love, sex, marriage and everything in between. Forget "women are from Venus and Men are from Mars", coming from Walthamstow and Milan can be bad enough! Will our heroes manage to navigate the language barrier, on top of the dishes rota? Come and find out. "Gi...
