Tom Stade 7.30pm

The King of laid-back, smart and surprising comedy is throwing down the gauntlet to his audience. How does a comedian decide what goes in his setlist each night? How does he gauge what each audience can handle? How far can he take it? And is the audience gonna be brave enough? Tom takes us behind the curtain to look at how a joke is born, to find the root and conclusion to some of his most legendary, controversial material.

Brendon Burns 9.30pm

He once got banned from BBC live TV for snogging a goat on air, he handed out enough mushrooms at the Glastonbury festival to get a thousand people high because Bill Hicks and John Lennon talked about it but didn’t, he wrote a trilogy that sent him clinically mad and was committed to a mental institution and now Britain’s most controversial comedian embarks on his first UK tour.

“He remains as hardcore and as disturbingly funny as ever. The high octane Aussie comic discomforts, disarms and disables you in equal measure”
The Sunday Telegraph
