Well, the title makes this pretty clear. This is a new show, created every day, with a fresh topic chosen the day before.
In the womb-like interior of the Cinema Room at Banshee Labyrinth, Smurthwaite invites the audience to watch each new concept come to life.
So far, she has created Aging Bull – a Rocky-themed show about turning fifty.
I've always been a fan of awkward comedy. While it's nice to have humour that feels like a cosy warm blanket it's also good sometimes to have comedy with a jolt. That's what Huge Davies (Monkey Barrel, four stars) is doing in his current show. Sleep Paralysis Princess, in which he ruminates on the fact that he hasn't had a proper night's doze due to insomnia for ten years and it has dramatically affected his life. I know what he means.
Edinburgh, 20 August 2026 — Comedian Olaf Falafel, from Luton, has been crowned winner of the (some guy called) Dave Joke of the Fringe 2026, part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, with the joke:
“I remember thinking, as I taped a piranha to my boomerang, this could come back to bite me.”
The Taskmaster, Greg Davies, returns to our screens with Alex Horne in the highly anticipated brand-new series of the BAFTA and Rose D’Or winning show. Taskmaster is set to return at 9pm on Thursday 3rd September on Channel 4 and 10pm BST / 5pm EST / 2pm PST on the Taskmaster YouTube Channel across the rest of the world.
The five acts in the running for the annual Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award 2026 have been revealed.
A collaboration between Birmingham Comedy Festival and The Glee Club Birmingham, the award show officially opens the long-running comedy/arts festival on Friday 2 October 2026.
Mock the Week returns to TLC from Sunday 13th September at 9pm, and as Parliament’s recess concludes and Britain emerges from a summer of record-breaking heatwaves and football fever, the show gets straight back to business, pulling apart the week's headlines in real time.
Comedians can't resist the lure of the Edinburgh Fringe. Just as they are out they get pulled back in. Whether it's for the money, the acclaim or just getting a warm hand on their entrance a number of previous Edinburgh Comedy Award winners are back this year. Over the last couple of days, almost by accident, I realised I'd seen four previous award winners.
Ania Magliano (Monkey Barrel, five stars) has the full set. She has been on Taskmaster, she is one of the breakout stars of SNL UK and now she has a superb stand-up show under her belt (although, I should add, her previous shows have all been pretty good). In Peach Fuzz she explores body image, in particular her own body image.
Eric Idle's latest book Idle In Provence: A Brief History of Thyme is published later this year and tells the story of Idle's attempt to create a rural idyll in France.
In the book Monty Python co-founder Idle, who was also behind the award-winning musical Spamalot, tells the story of how he bought a ramshackle house in France in 1971 and spent over fifty years doing it up and unwinding there, making friends and trying to learn a new language. It is described at the holy grail of vacation memoirs.
Prime Video has revealed the line-up for the Halloween special of the critically acclaimed UK Original, Last One Laughing.
