John Tothill at CroppaChoppa's Slumber Party | Thu 19 Jun | 7.30pm | £6.13

Effervescent comic Charlotte Cropper is back at Fairfield Social Club for another Slumber Party, and this time she’s invited a teacher! Well, a former teacher, John Tothill who will be aptly joining Cropper’s crew for a “Year 6 Leavers Disco Special”. Nobody commits to a themed evening quite like Slumber Party, so expect a leavers’ assembly song, signing your new BFFs shirt and having a cry in the bathroom because nobody will dance. Consistently, the most fun comedy night in the city.

Ed Night at The Lowry | Sun 22 Jun | 8pm | £15

Ed Night is quite simply the best of a new brand of young male comedians in the UK. Thoughtful and at times devastating in his honesty, Night’s insightful comedy belies his young years. This will be his fifth show in just under 10 years of performing, and he’s only getting stronger. Get down on a Sunday to see a future star.
