SUMMARY:Comedy: Ian Stone - IAN STONE IS LOOKING FOR THE WOW
DESCRIPTION:“Life can’t just be the humdrum\, the mundane and the routine before the inevitable slide to disease\, decay and death. Why can’t we sneak in a bit of awesome\, a tad of amazing and maybe a smidge of wonderful? A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years\, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah. Forty nine years ago. ’God will be watching’ she said. Well\, at least he got to see the game. The point is\, life could be so much better so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.”\n\nIan Stone is a “A masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour” according to The Times\, he’s been ranked “one of the top ten comedians in the UK” by the The Independent and The Guardian said that he’s “Seriously funny”.

He performs at all the major comedy venues/festivals in the UK and around the world. He’s recently begun posting reels on Instagram\, Tik Tok\, Facebook and X and very quickly built up a following of over seventy thousand. His reels have had millions of hits.\n\nWhen he’s not doing stand up comedy\, Ian presents a football chat show on TNTSport. Guests have included Alan Davies and Omid Djalili as well as football legends Lee Dixon and Rob Lee.\n\nHe hosts the Handbrake Off Arsenal podcast for The Athletic. They recently did their first live show at a sold out Leicester Square theatre.\n\nHe wrote To Be Someone\, a book about growing up as a teenager and loving The Jam.

SUMMARY:Talk: Vampires & the Human Psyche
DESCRIPTION:Discover the fascinating connections between vampires and the human mind\, from Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With Q&A. \n\nWhy are we so drawn to vampires? What do they reveal about us? \nLong before Hollywood\, vampires started with folklore\, born out of fear and superstition. Over the centuries\, these figures have evolved into a key element of pop culture and left a lasting mark on our collective consciousness. From Dracula and Nosferatu to Lost Boys and our beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer\, this talk will explore these enduring symbols and their connections to the human psyche. \nJoin Katie Evans in exploring why we both fear and love vampires\, and how their stories resonate with us on a personal level. Through psychoanalysis\, forensic psychology and the lens of gender and sexuality\, we will dig deep into vampiric legend. From Freud and Jung to modern ideas of narcissism\, we will explore how these blood-sucking figures represent otherness\, internal struggles and the complexities that many of us face as humans. \nSpeaker Bio: \nKatie Evans is a BACP-accredited therapist and self-confessed horror nerd. Her passion for all things spooky began in childhood and continued through her studies in music\, film\, and media at Liverpool University\, before moving into the field of mental health. She holds advanced accreditation in GSRD Therapy (Gender\, Sexuality\, and Relationship Diversity). In addition\, Katie has presented at conferences across Europe and has spoken for organisations including The Maudsley\, the British Psychological Society\, The NHS\, LGBT Foundation\, and HMPPS\, among others. She is also a registered guest lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. An advocate for using pop culture in psychotherapy\, Katie previously hosted The Mental Health Monsters Podcast and continues to explore how fictional narratives – especially those from the horror genre – can help us better understand ourselves. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Comedy:  PAUL SINHA 2 SINHA LIFETIME
DESCRIPTION:Paul Sinha returned to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025 after a dramatic 2023 that saw him booking a ticket to Edinburgh’s Royal Infirmary half-way through his run.\n\nThe autumn that followed became a flurry of tests\, scans and finally the surgery which set him on the road to recovery. With no small debt to the NHS\, Paul celebrated his 30th anniversary in stand-up last year and despite his continued quiz successes\, his Radio 4 series\, and his decision to write a memoir\, rather than a hastily patched together murder mystery\, Paul is not ready to exit the stage just yet – he is delighted to be touring his latest Edinburgh Fringe show around the UK.

SUMMARY:Theatre: Tales From The Wasteland
DESCRIPTION:Tales From The Wasteland is an improvised post-apocalyptic adventure comedy. This twisted and talented cast of wastelanders will take a single suggestion from you and craft an entire narrative show with no pre-prepared characters\, story or dialogue. \nIf the world was ending\, what would be the one thing you’d want to survive? Join us as we explore a new world and find out what’s left over after Earth’s devastation. Expect raiders\, mutants and violence over scarce resources in this absurd dark comedy inspired by classics of the genre such as Mad Max\, The Last of Us and Fallout. \nWarning: this show tends to have dark themes\, violence and cannibalism. Seriously\, cannibalism comes up way too often. \n“I’m still reeling at how such an intricate tale was woven on the spot\, it’s truly a gift this cast has been blessed with.” – Obscure Reviews \n“They have the audience in stitches\, thanks to sharp timing and an ability to spin chaos into comedy.” – Bristol 24/7 \n“Their world-building is bewitching; conjuring a violent\, gory Mad Max vibe alongside whimsical and\, somehow\, endearing characters.” – The Everyday Magazine \nEntry requirements: 16+

DESCRIPTION:An evening with American song writing legends\, Peter Case and Sid Griffin. \nPeter Case is a three time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter from the USA who has a most impressive resume. He was the founder of the Nerves\, the very first American indie band to put together a nationwide tour and one of the very first to release their own indie EP. He then was the founder and leader of the legendary Plimsouls\, an incredibly influential L.A. rock and roll band which drew praise from everyone from Elvis Costello to Tom Petty to critics nationwide. \nFor the past thirty-some years Peter Case has been a solo troubadour in the great tradition of Dylan\, Guthrie\, and Pete Seeger. Early on he was produced by T-Bone Burnett and he’s played with and been championed by Roger McGuinn\, Van Dyke Parks\, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers and many more. His latest album is The Midnight Broadcast and it just might be his very best album. \nSid Griffin is best known by his leadership of the Long Ryders\, the founding fathers of alt-country and Americana. He is also the proud artist behind four well-received solo albums\, was the leader of the wonderful ‘alt-bluegrass’ UK band\, The Coal Porters\, he was the Resident Musicologist on BBC 6 Music’s Radcliffe & Maconie radio show for over a decade and Sid has written four books. Sid’s most recent book\, Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan\, The Band\, and the Basement Tapes\, has been reissued twice and Sid did the liner notes for that collection of legendary Dylan tracks.

SUMMARY:Comedy: Stand Up For The Weekend with ERICH McELROY and GUESTS
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up For The Weekend with Erich McElroy featuring Andy Field & Meryl O’Rourke \nStand Up For The Weekend is our weekly flagship comedy show featuring top circuit headliners and guest acts plus incredibly funny and engaging comperes who host the entire show. A choice of table seats\, reserved row seats and unreserved row seats are available to book online.\nHeadliner: ERICH McELROY\n\nOriginally from Seattle\, Erich McElroy moved to the UK in 2000 and in 2007 collected his British passport. After that he knew he had to start doing stand-up. Erich offers an hilarious and insightful take on the life in the UK through the (somewhat) sober eyes of an American and has delighted audiences up and down the country for many years. While his six full Edinburgh shows have taken a turn for the political (“This is political stand-up at its best.” BroadwayBaby) it’s his “modest\, slightly bookish\, charm and genuine affection for the UK” (Chortle) that makes him stand out.\n\nErich has appeared on Scotland’s foremost BBC radio topical show “Breaking the News” as well as providing humorous political commentary on places such as the BBC\, Sky\, Newsnight and on his own podcast American Exchange.\n\n“Sincerity and sharp wit leaving you with a hopeful beam on your face and desperately wanting more” EdFringe Review
