Observational nerd comedy from Pierre Novellie before bedtime. Come and see – it might be years before he wakes up!“Master of traditional stand-up.”

ScotsmanKate Dolan
Rapid fire, high energy, off kilter. This is stand-up comedy but different. Join award-winning comic Kate Dolan for her brand-new hour of absurdist stand-up. Trout unspools the idea that in 2026 being a fish in the river might be nicer than a woman on land. Expect a loud woman on stage being loud. Directed by Emma Holland.“Irrepressibly funny… Reminiscent of Jim Carrey.”
★★★★ The Scotsman“Her performance screams star quality.”
★★★★ Chortle“A phenomenal emerging comic.”
★★★★ The List“There’s plenty of comedy about that calls itself ‘weird’:, but this might just fit the bill.”
