Well, that’s nearly it for this year. We’ve had a pretty good one. The clubs in Leeds and Manchester are now well established and the Edinburgh launch was packed. The ‘Hate Crime Special’ chellenged the Scottish Hate Crime Law in April and our mini Irish tour, with Graham Linehan sold out. We also had a cracking gig with Rob Schneider in Las Vegas. Next year, we’ll run regular nights in Edinburgh (including one night during the Fringe in August), Leeds, Manchester and London and we have been offered a club in Newcastle if we can find someone to organise it locally. We’re hoping to come to Cork, Dublin and Belfast, as well as Palm Springs in the summer.
Christmas gift cards are available if you fancy slipping one inside a Christmas card. They’re good for 2 x tickets to any London gig throughout 2025.
In the digital world, Paul Rodriguez and John Kye have filmed all the London gigs and the YouTube channel has reached just short of 100,000 subscribers across the world. Adam Coumas has done a brilliant job publishing video shorts on TikTok, Insta, Facebook and YouTube every few days. Some of these vidoes get 100,000s views.
