Vittorio Angelone and Rob Auton are at XS Malarkey, Natalia Schwarz hosts B*tches in Stitches and Dan Tiernan joins Molly McGuinness for a WIP on Sunday.

Vittorio Angelone and Rob Auton at XS Malarkey | Tue 10 Jun | 7.30pm | £3/6

Now, we must start by saying this show is understandably sold out at XS Malarkey’s 53Two home, but this double bill is too good to not include. Vittorio Angelone is one of the best of a bunch of solid comics coming out of Ireland right now, and Rob Auton is always a joy to behold, no matter how far along his work in progress may be. Join the waiting list and maybe just chance it on the night in the hope that there are returns to see two of the top stand-ups in the country. And while you’re at it, get tickets to the rest of XS’s lineup of previews before they similarly sell out!

B*tches in Stitches at The Fitzgerald | Fri 13 Jun | 6.30pm | £5.37

Natalia Schwarz hosts an evening of all-female comedy at The Fitzgerald every month with B*tches In Stitches, and this Friday’s lineup is an absolute banger. Including Schwarz, there will be 10 comics on stage on the night with turns from the likes of Eryn Tett, Sallyann Fellowes, and someone intriguingly called ‘The Impish Scribe’. City centre comedy on a weekend night with a feminine edge that costs less than a pint. Heck of a time.

Dan Tiernan and Molly McGuinness at Fairfield Social Club | Sun 15 Jun | 2.30pm | £8

As Manchester’s favourite comedy son and daughter, it feels fitting that Dan Tiernan and Molly McGuinness will be providing new shows on Father’s Day this Sunday afternoon. Dan Tiernan is planning to give it his all with new show All In, and Molly makes her debut this year with her tale of beans, Meatloaf and an induced coma entitled Slob. Treat your dad to see two of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe hot picks without having to leave the country.
