Finally, the month is February, the mood is excited and grateful for the end of the 5 (hundred??) week-long January, and for those who partook in a dry, (accidentally) damp or vegan month, what better way to celebrate than with one of these side-splittingly funny comedy shows, with a glass of booze and a side of dairy for good measure…delicious. From fresh debut hours, established tour shows and brand new WIP material to wicked and wonderful variety nights, we’ve got it all here for you.
