This month we will be running an Edinburgh Fringe Preview Double Bill with Chelsea Birkby, Kitty Speed and Shirley Halse!

Chelsea Birkby: This is Life, Cheeky Cheeky

Following her award-winning debut and sell-out run, Chelsea Birkby's back with a meditation on lust for life. Playfully combining pop culture and philosophy in this smart and silly show unpacking being in the moment, desire and also ass. 'Very funny... There's a sharp mind behind the sweet exterior' **** (Telegraph). 'Brilliant... Hugely promising and already accomplished' **** (Scotsman). 'A real star' ****½ (Sunday Post). 'Deceptively smart' **** (Fest). Amused Moose Best Debut 2022. Comedian's Choice Best Show Nominee. Best Jokes 2022 (Telegraph, Times). Writer on Mock the Week. Ass seen on BBC Three.

Kitty and Shirley’s Teen Dream Magazine Comedy Sleepover

A stand-up split bill with a difference: It's set in the teen-magazine sleepover dream world. Kitty Speed ('Sharp punchlines with excellent stage presence' (Jericho Comedy)) has a glittery eyeshadow, glittery shorts and glitter all over her framed ADHD diagnosis. Shirley Halse ('Friendly, funny and focused' (Scotsman)) has big hopes, big dreams and a meddling toddler. Together they are finding their feet in a world that's less perfect than they were pinky-promised. Bring a friendship bracelet and your sleeping bag for an hour of laughter. Xoxo.


We’re kindly hosted by The Swan Cheltenham, where you can get some of the best pub food in Cheltenham. The Swan opens from 4pm so you can order some food, grab a drink and settle in for the evening. We’ll open doors at the Shush bar from 7.15pm, and the show will start at 7.30pm.

Tickets are: £5 General ticket, or £7 on the door.
