Andy Field headlines XS Malarkey, Laughienda returns for 2026 with Pete Selwood, and there’s a terrific lineup for a good cause at The Frog on Sunday.
Manchester’s favourite free comedy club returns for the first time this year with a stacked lineup spearheaded by Pete Selwood. Fresh off the back of a pretty big year with a role in Hollywood blockbuster How To Train Your Dragon, Selwood should have some pretty good stories from his time working with the likes of Gerard Butler, and where better to spin them than at Laughienda.
A fantastic show for a fantastic cause as Arabs & Asians come together to support the people of Gaza. There’ll be turns from rising stars such as Faizan Shah and Omar Badly, alongside the likes of Muhsin Yesilada, Salman Malik and Farhan Solo. An early kick off of 5.30pm ensures you’ll be home in good time on a Sunday evening.

Andy Field has been making a few waves on TikTok of late with his hilarious A-Zs of social interactions, hopefully serving to remind everyone that he is one of the more original joke writers around. Always zagging when it seems like most would zig, Field always keeps you guessing and, more importantly, laughing. This will be a real treat at XS on a Tuesday.
