Sophie Willan | Tue 16 Apr | The Bread Shed | 7.30pm | £5/3
Back in the North for one night only, comedic whirlwind Sophie Willan headlines a pretty special evening at XS Malarkey. Even by their high standards. Alongside the Boltonian comic they have sketch duo The Delightful Sausage, plus up and comers Josh Pugh and Lindsey Davies. A packed bill for a Tuesday night pick me up.

Comedy Balloon | Wed 17 Apr | The Old Monkey | 8.30pm | FREE
Whilst their usual home of the Ape and Apple undergoes a little face lift, long running free comedy night Comedy Balloon has moved to the home of Tony Basnett’s Trapdoor Comedy for the night in The Old Monkey. Expect some primate based fun with a huge lineup of the best rising stand-ups on the Manchester scene.

Blizzard Comedy | Thu 18 Apr | Gullivers | 7.30pm | FREE
Another free night of stand-up, this time a new venture from Jonny Collins who hopes to reclaim the ‘snowflake’ label tossed casually at anyone who seems to care about other people’s wellbeing. No Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Classism, Ablism, etc. is the order of the day. What there will be is plenty of laughs with headline act Amy Gledhill (one half of the aforementioned The Delightful Sausage), Red Redmond, Tony Wright and Brandon Craig all serving up thoughtful comedy for the night.
