Headlining the show with an extended set, we have the incredible Rachel Parris.

She has also appeared on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News for You, Mock the Week, QI and Would I Lie to You?, and is a regular on BBC Radio 4’s Just a Minute and I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. A founding member of the award-winning improv show Austentatious, Rachel brings her trademark mix of razor-sharp stand-up and musical comedy to an extended headline set.
Joining us is the brilliant Michael Odewale. One of the most exciting names in British stand-up, Michael has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Friday Night Live and Live from the Moth Club, as well as releasing his own stand-up special, Michael Odewale: Live at Soho Theatre. A former Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer nominee, Michael was also crowned Best Headliner at the 2025 Chortle Awards.
