Adam Hodgson: Adam has been improvising since drama school and has performed worldwide. He currently runs an improv group in Derby, where his family also lives (coincidentally).

Nate Kitch Replica

Fishergate Point Studios · Nottingham

the-basically-awarding-winning comic Nate Kitch (me) is back for his 3rd rodeo: The show is sort of about repeating and losing yourself and what happens when you manufacture a life and act, or both (and repeating yourself), it’s got a Peter Pan bit, loops, a lid, something about the Premier Inn and it’s very funny. Please come love/hate it as we build it together oh it’s also about repeating yourself. (I am writing this in June 2026 and it will have since been at the fringe in scotland and will probably be very different and received in various ways, the 2025 show sold out so godot knows what happens / had happened this year) Cheers, Nate Previous critiques of work: “Unique… Pushing at the edges of what stand-up can be defined as.” Chortle “Comedy masterclass… Like a Matisse painting or jazz.” ★★★★★ The Scotsman “Laughs that come from out of nowhere.” ★★★★★ Entertainment Now “Postmodern yet oldschool… Glorious.” ★★★★ The List “Masterclass… A unique and memorable experience.” ★★★★.8 Edinburgh Reviews Best Show nominee 2025 Comedian’s choice award, Next Up biggest award in comedy nominee 2025 etc. etc… “Absur...
