Stand Out Stand Up

A rare chance to see Alexei Sayle – the godfather of alternative comedy – live on stage, hosting a night of stand-up with real bite.

For one night only Alexei brings together a roll-call of some of comedy’s most original and acclaimed voices: Stewart Lee, Shazia Mirza, Alasdair Beckett-King, and Arthur Smith, plus more to be announced.

Expect sharp satire, surreal invention, and perfectly crafted gags from performers who speak truth to power – each act bringing their own fiercely original voice to the stage. Together they create a night that’s as thought-provoking as it is funny.

Raising funds for Slapstick Festival, the UK’s leading celebration of classic and silent screen comedy, every ticket helps to keep the artistry of Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and their contemporaries alive for new generations, allowing increased access to this unique comic medium.
