Catherine Bohart has begun her new UK tour.
Performing a London residency at Soho Theatre until October 3,
Catherine then hits the road on a UK tour until November 25.
Entitled ‘Borrowing Trouble’, the show explores her Irish comic’s dad’s favourite sayings, and a reminder against worrying about things that may never happen.
This year’s Best Newcomer Nominee, Dom McGovern,
has launched a new podcast with fellow comedian, Dan Wye.
Entitled ‘Flat Earth Nation’ the podcast will see the pair ‘pick apart whatever nonsense has caught their attention that week’.
Available right now as a weekly video and audio podcast, the show will cover topics including picking apart pop culture conspiracy theories and Dan Wye’s family’s supposed magic skills.
The BBC has announced that Amandaland, co-written and directed by Holly Walsh, will return for a Christmas special.
The hour-long show will star the regular cast, as well as Daisy Haggard, who will play an old friend of Lucy Punch, who Lucy then tries to impress with a lavish Christmas party.
The 2025 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy programme of the year, with 7.4 million people tuning in across 28 days.
John Thomson has been cast as Ebenezer Scrooge in the upcoming production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ at the Salford Lowry.
Running from December 11 to January 10, the production will be directed by Matthew Warchus and adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne.
The production is usually performed at the Old Vic in London, but this year for the first time, audiences can see it outside the West End.
Josh Pugh’s new tour, ‘Ha Ha, Yeah Sound’ kicks off next week.
Following his two previous sell-out tours, Josh’s latest show begins in Glasgow before going across the UK until November 29.
You can book tickets right now on his website.
