Manchester comedy of the week FT Tadiwa Mahlunge, Rachel Fairburn and Josh Jones

There’s a heck of a lineup of comedy at XS Malarkey, but then we could state that any week, such is their nature for booking bangers. This one, though, features three of the most exciting rising stars currently working on the circuit in Tadiwa Mahlunge, Eric Rushton and Elaine Robertson. Go see them now before they’re selling out tours around the country.

Another cracking lineup for an evening, no doubt hoping to shape XS Malarkey’s longevity as Josh Jones launches new stand-up night Club Comedy at Fairfield Social Club this Friday. Joining Josh for the inaugural knees-up will be Louise Young, Faizan Shah, Beth Moore and Morgan Rees. Quite the high bar to set on the opening night!

Speaking of new nights and Mancunian legends, Rachel Fairburn is back in town with an evening of character comedy featuring new bits and old friends. After the success of the recent tour show Side Eye, Fairburn is back with a new host of characters, and joined by Chris Cantrill and Barbara Nice for the debut night with their own new character stuff.
