The Best in Comedy – Feb ’25

Description

The Best in Comedy show returns to Maddermarket Theatre for another year. Kicking off in February with an amazing line-up featuring the wonderful Sara Pascoe, Nick Helm, Andrew Maxwell & Thanyia Moore!

Sara Pascoe decided she wanted to be famous at 14 years old. Since then, she has auditioned for Barrymore, scared Pete Burns and ruined Hugh Grant’s birthday – but look at her now… (please look, she needs you to look. And clap. And laugh. And then clap again).
She wrote and starred in her recent BBC 2 sitcom Out Of Her Mind, and is the celebrated host of BBC 2’s The Great British Sewing Bee, BBC’s Last Woman on Earth, Dave’s Comedians Giving Lectures and Comedy Central’s Guessable.
