EDINBURGH PREVIEW:

Huge Davies & Andrew Doherty

Huge Davies

Huge is one the most exciting and unique new acts in the UK. Expect dark humour, surreal songs, and his customised wearable keyboard. His comedy performances have featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 4, BBC3 and ITV1.

‘A masterful craftsman of comedy’ ★★★★  Chortle

 


Andrew Doherty: 

A brand-new show from the maker of the award-winning sell-out Gay Witch Sex Cult (“the finest horror pastiche I can recall on the Fringe since Garth Marenghi” Brian Logan, The Guardian).

Andrew Doherty completely relaunches himself with a startling piece of ground-breaking tragic theatre. In this tragic piece that breaks new ground, Andrew throws the book at AIDS and asks the Arts Council to pick it up. Watch Andrew take the “cult” out of “cult hit” and replace it with “financially prosperous.”

Catch it at Bristol Pride before it heads to this years Edinburgh Fringe, then gets a West End transfer, moves to Broadway, and finally HBO Max.

Andrew Doherty is a queer comedy writer and performer from Manchester, and co-founder of sketch comedy duo Megan from HR with Ambika Mod. His shows have earned him multiple 5 star reviews and sold out venues in Edinburgh Fringe, The West End and across the UK

 

‘Had me in a perpetual chuckle… Andrew Doherty’s performance is one of outstanding precision’ ***** (AllThatDazzles.co.uk)

What people are saying...

Some nights you go to see comedy… Other nights, you witness new stars being born. Watching new voices develop and seeing one of my favourite new acts (James Ellis) headlining the night was superb.

If you ever get the chance, check out Comic Boom Comedy Club. Really great to see the local Brighton comedy scene continuing to build and thrive 🤘

The best comedy show we’ve ever seen at Komedia, it absolutely delivered!!! They all nailed it. I definitely recommend checking Komedia Comedy Club out — it is the perfect spot to have a good laugh! P.S. Cerys Nelmes & Touissant Douglass my absolute favourites!!

Great for an evening’s entertainment. Central location, good service and delivered on the comedy.

Everything was so accessible and with ease, we truly had such a lovely and comfortable time. It means a lot to have such a positive experience at a place we love. The comedy itself was incredible and we were cackling the entire time! This was my first night out of the house in months, thank you so very much for making it so joyful and comfortable. You are all brilliant!!!!!

Please extend my gratitude to all the terrific people at Komedia who contributed to my night flowing smoothly.

We just wanted to thank you all for an amazing show last night. We had a blast performing and working with you all. Thanks also to Taylor and Dylan and wow, we love your security guards. Thanks so much! Hope to see you again sometime 🙂

Thank you for hosting me! It was such a pleasure working with your incredible team. I felt truly looked after. Special shout-out to Steve and Misti on tech—you’re both stars 🧡

Thanks again for having me last week. I was very, very happy… and my first solo show in Brighton! Thrilled we got such a good crowd.

A MASSIVE thank you for making us feel so welcome and for all your support you gave us. Thank you to Steve (our Technician on the night) and Taylor (behind the bar) for being sooo brilliant and helpful. Big thank you to the doorman at Komedia for being so lovely too! 😊

The accessibility at Comic Boom Comedy Club was absolutely brilliant. I had emailed beforehand and your communication about accessibility was great. The staff at the event were also great. I really appreciate how easy it was in a wheelchair as not all venues are so accommodating.

Once again, great fun at the [Komedia Comedy] club! The crowds were great and the staff is second to none. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for having me, it’s always a blast.
