Comedy of the week ft. David Cross, XS Malarkey’s 21st & Pete Firman

David Cross | Tue 25 Sep | The Dancehouse | 7.30pm | £22
As one of just five shows in the UK as part of his new world tour ‘Oh Come On’, David Cross makes his first appearances on these shores since he was ‘Making America Great Again’ in 2016. A lot has happened in the interim and Cross is sure to have a lot to say and his own inimitable way of saying it. Read our full preview here.

XS Malarkey’s 21st Birthday | Tue 25 Sep | The Bread Shed | 7.30pm | £5/3
The name may have changed a little, the venue may have changed a lot but nothing has changed in XS Malarkey’s mission to bring the best comedians to Manchester for the most reasonable price. This Tuesday they celebrate their 21st birthday and will no doubt do it with some of their best comedy pals to commemorate getting the key to the door.

Peter Fleming and Edy Hurst | Wed 26 Sep | 8pm | The Castle Hotel | £3
A midweek treat here at The Castle Hotel with two award-winning comedians in Peter Fleming (best debut show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2018) and Edy Hurst (Great Yorkshire Fringe’s People’s Champion 2017). Fleming dusts off the BBC history books to bring you some of the best children’s TV you’ve never heard of and Edy Hurst brings his infectious enthusiasm, a guitar and a loop pedal to make some lovely and weird comedy gold.

Pete Firman | Sun 30 Sep | The Lowry | 7.30pm | £19.50
A bit of a magical comedy to round out the week as Middlesbrough’s favourite conjuror Pete Firman is back in town with his huge bag of tricks. As seen on ITV1’s Tonight at the London Palladium and The Next Great Magician, BBC One’s The Magicians, The John Bishop Show and The Sarah Millican Television Programme, it’s always best to watch these things live and have your mind blown in the flesh.
