Emma Sidi is Sue Gray at Fairfield Social Club, Robin Ince headlines XS Malarkey and Justin Moorhouse presents a charity fundraiser with a heck of a lineup at The Frog.
How’s this for a midweek pick-me-up; Justin Moorhouse hosts a huge lineup of talent including Mike Newall, Chris Washington, Karl Porter, Katie Tracey, Hayley Ellis and Tom Wrigglesworth at The Frog & Bucket this Wednesday. And it’s for a good cause as they look to raise money for Acorn Recovery Services who support those breaking free from addiction & The Wellspring who offer support to people experiencing homelessness and those at risk of losing their home. A timely concern during the upcoming festive period and a great way to do your bit while having a good laugh.
Before she became the charming break-out star of the most recent series of Taskmaster, Emma Sidi had a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe with a hilarious character show based around a re-imagining of super sleuth and Kier Starmer’s most trusted advisor Sue Gray. Now taking it on a whistle-stop tour of the UK, Sidi finally hits Manchester with this funny and silly show about the chief lockdown party investigator. A show that’s both time-sensitive because it’s one of the last times Sidi will be performing it and while the name ‘Sue Gray’ is still relevant in anyone’s mind.

Malarkey favourite Robin Ince pops up to 53Two for a pre-Christmas treat as he peddles more of his cerebral comedy for a baying crowd. Tickets are nearly gone for this one so we suggest you act fast. There’s a reason big names such as Ince keep heading back to Malarkey and that’s because it’s the best night of comedy in the city.
