Comedy of the week ft Andrew Doherty, Brennan Reece and Father’s Day laughs

Another week closer to the Fringe brings another great double bill of previews to XS Malarkey. The always hilarious Jonny Pelham presents a new hour and Andrew Doherty is in town to try out his follow up to the critically acclaimed 2025 show, “Sad Gay Aids Play”. As the Fringe gets more inaccessible to both acts and punters, it’s nice that the good folk at XS are still putting on the best comics around at incredibly low prices.

Speaking of low prices, you don’t get much lower than zero. Here to make sure you get your money’s worth is Brennan Reece, who has appeared on everything from Live at The Apollo to Celebrity Coach Trip. Now an old pro – but still with that glint of mischief in his eye – Reece is at the top of his game and loves to play with form and norms to create something new and unexpected. More than worth the price of admission.

If you’re looking for something to do with your old man this Sunday, or if this is the first you’re hearing about it being Father’s Day, then look no further than Creatures Comedy Club for a good laugh and a few pints. An early-ish kick off at 5.30pm, you can even schedule in some World Cup football afterwards so you can continue spending time with your dad whilst crucially not actually speaking to one another.
