Jon Long: Planet-Killing Machine

Debut hour from Jon Long: lapsed Catholic, recovering alcoholic, partially disabled, straight white millennial... oh what does it matter?! He's a planet-killing machine, and so are you! Is it too late? Can we be saved? Do we seriously have to give up straws? Tonnes of big questions and barely any answers from an award-winning comedian and troubadour.

Musical Comedy Awards: Audience Favourite, 2016.

Konstantin Kissin: Orwell That  ends Well

Konstantin Kisin, who made international headlines by refusing to sign a ‘safe space’ contract for a university gig, offers a fiercely intelligent, uncompromising look at identity, freedom of expression and ‘wokeness’ in his debut hour. 

Informed by his experiences of growing up in the Soviet Union, which his grandfather fled to avoid state censorship, Kisin dives head-first into the heated debate about the limits of free expression and the role of political correctness, safe spaces and trigger warnings in shaping British society. 

Packed full of strong gags and razor-sharp observations about the state of the world, Orwell That Ends Well carefully walks the line between offence and humour as it tears into the sacred myths of modern society.

Directed by Jonathan Pie co-writer Andrew Doyle, Kisin’s debut show is guaranteed to entertain and ruffle feathers in equal measure.
