Musical Chairs

The Canalhouse · Nottingham

In the beginning, there were dinosaurs. They didn’t write songs or tell jokes, but if they had, only one of them would be allowed to use an instrument at once on any given comedy bill. Musical Chairs boldly breaks the ultimate taboo and brings you three melodic comedic powerhouses. Ashley Frieze is a comedy club regular, with a guitar bag full of daft and witty songs and a joyous energy to warm up even the coldest of crowds. Kitty Messalina is a comedic triple threat: a queer woman of colour: lewd lyrics and raunchy rhymes from this salaciously smutty songstress. Friz Frizzle is the ultimate song ruiner. They take you to another plane with logical lyrical leaps that will surprise and delight you. It’s simply an hour of wonderful musical stand-up comedy, proving you can have multiple musical comedians on the bill… and nobody gets hurt.

David Eagle's winging It

The Canalhouse · Nottingham

Your favourite blind folk-singing comedian returns. Since my last Nottingham Comedy Festival show I’ve had my own stand-up series on BBC Radio 4. Nevertheless I’ve not increased the ticket price, partly because, as the title suggests, I haven’t really decided yet what this show will be about. But in fairness, I’m writing this blurb in June, and the show’s not until November. I’ll probably bang on some more about being blind, because it’s useful to exploit a niche. I’ll probably sing a song and play the accordion, because I’m a brazen crowd pleaser. I’ve got some thoughts about gospel music, stories about an odd altercation in an American airport, a weird experience with a nun and a run-in with some racists in Kent. I might play you some of my weird childhood recordings that I discovered on some old cassettes. I’ve got a poem from the perspective of a piece of discarded chewing gum and a song about a misunderstood pigeon. In fact, now that I’ve written this, I reckon the show’s going to be absolutely incredible. I’d suggest booking your tickets now, before misguided hubris leads me to whack up the price.

Hayley Ellis: Stop showing off in front of your mates

The Canalhouse · Nottingham

Once upon a time, Hayley Ellis was in a girlband. She had it all, a fringe full of inset hairspray, a lace glove and a dream. It was the 90s and she was sure her band was going to be the next big thing. Fast forward some years later, the fringe has flopped and the only gloves she wears is an oven mitt. But what if she’d made it? Who would she be today? A well-adjusted mum who invested wisely and does the school run? A wellness guru flogging labia flavoured incense sticks? Or a washed-up has been calling the paps every time she goes to the Tesco just so she can scream “Why won’t you people let me live my life!?” Join ex-popstar Hayley for an hour of joyous retrospection on body image, Smash Hits magazine and an indoor skydiving debacle that’ll convince you some dreams are better left in the past. An hour of so-tragic-it’s-funny nostalgia, from your favourite no-singing, no-dancing funny girl.

Sophie Duker: Hot Beef Injection

The Canalhouse · Nottingham

Taskmaster Champion, Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominee and retired sugar daughter Sophie Duker is back with a brand-new 2027 stand-up tour, ‘Hot Beef Injection’. In her latest hour, Sophie dares to get both sexy and political, reflecting on hypermasculinity, heavy-handed handymen and that old-chestnut Would You Rather: 'Man or Bear?’. Hot Beef Injection reckons with the primal fear driving Duker’s distrust of heterosexual he/hims, and out of a challenging comedy club encounter a new question emerges: what would she say if she spoke to men, instead of shutting them out? “Obscenely good… Charisma to burn” Rolling Stone “extremely funny” ★★★★ The Scotsman “she is clearly going places” ★★★★ Evening Standard
