Spring Kathryn Day: My Name is Spring Day and Other Stupid Facts

Blend at Contemporary · Nottingham

Watch Live at the Apollo comedian Spring Kathryn Day prove that the truth is not only stranger than fiction, it's a lot funnier too. My Name is Spring Day and Other Stupid Facts is a stand up comedy show full of joke-heavy stories and loads of stupid (light, dark and rude) facts about: life, culture, love, death, family, money, and identity in apocalyptic times. If you’re the kind of person that kicks back and relaxes to a harrowing Netflix documentary series or murder podcast before bed, you should probably talk to a psychologist about that as well as watch My Name is Spring Day and Other Stupid Facts. ‘A joke heavy storytelling show… It would make a very good movie’ -★★★★ On the Mic 2024 'A sharp set with great punchlines... It's ' -★★★★ Reviews Hub 2024 'Wow, does Spring Day have an amazing story to tell' -★★★★ Beyond The Joke 2024

Vix Leyton: Chief Petty Officer

Blend at Contemporary · Nottingham

Following a sell out Edinburgh Fringe run, Vix Leyton brings Chief Petty Officer to Nottingham. ★★★★ For The Plot Magazine “Completely unnecessary levels of analysis” “At the show's core, she's created a winning graph to pass judgement on each subject matter. It all works really nicely.” - British Comedy Guide Part stand-up, part comedy lecture, Chief Petty Officer is an over-researched investigation into pettiness: why we do it, when it works, and how far is too far when somebody has mildly annoyed you. At the centre of it all is the Hill to Die On, a 'highly scientific' formula she designed to calculate the point at which satisfying pettiness tips over into catastrophic commitment to the bit. If you like smart, idea-led stand-up, Radio 4 comedy, strange true stories, niche cultural rabbit holes and comedians who have clearly spent far too long researching something nobody asked them to, you should feel very at home here. Expect famous grudges, historical pettiness, unexpected connections and pub trivia to fuel you to the end of the year. "Jolly entertaining" - The Scotsman "You'll have a nice time" Chortle 4**** "An unusual and very enjoyable hour" For The Plot "s...
