Gits and Shiggles is one of London's best comedy nights, organising events throughout the capital as well as their residency at The Half Moon, Putney.

Headlining the show with an extended set, we have the incredible Rachel Parris. A BAFTA-nominated comedian, musician and improviser, Rachel is best known for her hugely popular satirical segments on The Mash Report and Late Night Mash, which have racked up more than 100 million views online. 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.
