Manchester comedy of the week FT Robin Morgan, Nina Gilligan and Joey Page

Manchester’s finest night of female and non-binary night of comedy returns with an absolutely spectacular lineup. Resident MC Alex Stringer brings on Katie Mulgrew, Sharifa Butterfly, Maxine Wade and Harriet Dyer for a bill that will rival any in the country, no matter what the day of the week. That this is on a Tuesday is quite frankly ridiculous.

After a raft of tour support for the likes of Laura Smyth, Rob Beckett and Mark Simmons, Joey Page has got the bug and is embarking on his debut UK tour. After some early breakthrough success appearing on the likes of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy, Page has hit the circuit and is in the form of his life. His surreal flights of fancy, mixed with his cheeky cockney charm make for an ideal hour of knockabout fun stand-up.

Robin Morgan makes smart, relatable and sometimes absolutely joyous comedy and in his latest show The Spark he’s looking to keep the former going. His previous shows have dealt with a proposal, marriage, kids and a vasectomy, and now he’s looking at how to keep that spark in both a marriage and within oneself. Morgan’s natural effervescence will no doubt manage to keep that spark going and will ignite a few more in the audience on a lovely Sunday evening.
