Hannah Platt debuted at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe at the Pleasance Courtyard to critical acclaim with her show ‘Defence Mechanism’. She was nominated for four awards including NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy and the Comedian’s Choice Awards Best Debut.
Following his second consecutive British Podcast Award win and a critically acclaimed, sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe earlier this year, multi award-winning comedian, podcaster, and writer Rob Auton (Starstruck, The End of the F***ing World, Miracle Workers) is set to embark on his biggest tour yet with The Eyes Open and Shut Show in the New Year.

In this highly original, intoxicating show, and following a much-talked-about debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, Derek Mitchell (2023 Leicester Square Sketch Off Finalist) gets his teeth into this subject (and most of the rest of his body, too) with a tour de force of multi-national laughs.
Following a complete sellout tour and many standing ovations, Seann Walsh - one of the UK’s greatest comedians - will release his highly acclaimed show Back From The Bed on YouTube on 15 December.
Well into his mid-thirties, Seann just wants to be in bed or work out how and when he can get back to it. He hates leaving the house and enjoys nothing more than an event being cancelled and he can now see crumbs.
Award-winning Scottish comedian Larry Dean’s new special Fudnut will launch 13th December on YouTube ahead of his appearance at this month’s Royal Variety Performance.
