Lucy Porter's brand new show is based around a fascinating true story with a stunning twist in the tale. Along the way, thirty-something mum of 'Irish twins' (not Jedward thankfully) brings us her hilarious stand up observations.

She tackles the big subjects; happiness, home shopping, friendship and the psychological impact of daytime TV's Dom Littlewood. It's a feel-good night of comedy that will appeal to audiences of all ages.

Lucy continues to appear regularly on BBC Radio 4 on The Unbelievable Truth and Life: The Idiot's Guide and has co-presented the magazine show What's So Funny on BBC Radio 4 extra.

Long hailed as one of Ireland's leading songwriters and performers, Kieran Goss’s music has won him fans across the globe, but if his songs have brought him stardom, it's Kieran's live shows which have made him a legend in his homeland, selling out venues for over 20 years, including a series of huge shows at Belfast's Opera House where he was supported by the likes of Tom Paxton and Eddi Reader.

One of the biggest selling artists in Ireland, his album Worse than Pride achieved double platinum status in under nine months and produced a string of hit singles. Drawing comparisons with the likes of Crowded House's Neil Finn and fellow countryman Brian Kennedy, Kieran's honest, heartfelt songwriting has a timeless quality, while his extraordinary ability to reach out and connect with an audience has taken his star to another level.

Described as 'probably the finest entertainer in the land' (The Irish News), it is guaranteed to be an unmissable night of sheer talent.

The Arthur Doherty Band are back after four sell out concerts in the MET to bring you their unique mix of traditional and contemporary Irish songs interspersed with some jokes and friendly banter.

Arthur’s singing is backed by Roger Titley (vocals, keyboards), Dave Clark (vocals, guitar) and Martin Thompson (fiddle, button accordion, banjo & whistles). There will be some lively chorus songs, nostalgic ballads and plenty of audience participation.

Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner and star of BBC Three’s Impractical Jokers brings her critically acclaimed show ‘Life Hunter’ to venues nationwide. As seen on Have I Got News For You (BBC1), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three), Victoria Wood’s Angina Monologues (Sky One), Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave).

Everyone in life is looking for something; to belong, to love, to forget, and also keys. People spend a lot of time looking for their keys. Poxy things.

Multi-award winning comedian and rising star Rob Beckett presents his debut stand-up solo show. He’s from South East London, was in Fresh Meat (C4), has appeared on 8 out of 10 Cats (C4) and has recently trekked into the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now as a host.  He also has nice teeth.

 Comedy is Rob’s job and shows are technically business trips, but he enjoys it far too much to call it work: he’s on holiday. In this highly anticipated show Rob explores expectations, family and Jeremy Beadle.

Doreen, and her infamous daughters Trojan and Tangerine, became an internet sensation when "Doreen's Story" went viral on YouTube, topping one million hits virtually overnight. Now, David Tristram, creator of the original video and one of the country's most popular comedy playwrights, has created a stage version.

It's a riotous concoction of affectionate Black Country humour and biting social satire, which brings the self-confessed "lazy cow" up close and personal. Living off a complex package of benefits topped up with a little shoplifting, Britain's most famous lady of leisure introduces us to her family, friends and neighbours, and we hear the views of those that try to shape her life - a colourful collection of Job Centre Managers, Employers, Government Ministers, Teachers, Diversity Officers, Lawyers - all brought to life by a superb supporting cast.

It's an audience with Doreen. And the least you can do is support her from your taxed income.

Steve White, Damon Minchell and Justin Shearn are the soul-mod-jazz super group!

Steve White joined The Style Council at the age of 17, and is considered by many to be the UK's finest drummer of his generation, playing on 15 albums with the legendary Paul Weller. As a solo artist Steve has released 4 albums. As a sideman, he's been one of the founders of the Acid Jazz movement with Galliano and he played with The Young Desciples, JTQ and Working Week, The Players, through to New Orleans legend Dr John and the late great Ian Dury. Steve is also recognised as the youngest musician to perform at Live Aid in Wembley in 1985.

Damon Minchella formed Brit Pop heroes Ocean Colour Scene, going on to sell over 3 million albums before leaving to 2004. He has also been the first call bassist for Paul Weller for over 12 years. He has performed with a whole host of other artists, including The Players, The Who, Dr John, Jimmy Page, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse and Carleen Anderson.

Justin Shearn recently joined the band after playing out with Sam Gray and Beggar Joe. A keyboard player of the finest order, Justin fits the slot perfectly.

Trio Valore sing a simple song, they preach a sermon of groove and carry the torch of a great legacy forward, aiming their music at the heart and the feet; a dance band in the old school style. The band released their first autonomous album "Return Of The Iron Monkey" in 2008 and have already experienced a mass of media interest and a heavyweight fan base thanks to the pedigree of the musicians involved.

Great Scott! Victorian magicians Morgan and West bring a magical extravaganza to a millennium near you!

The 30 year old multi-Bafta award-winning stand up and platinum-selling R&B artist Alex Horne is back with an hour of observations, impressions and lies.

Best known for mindblowing Powerpoint or live music, this show has neither; just Alex, a panda, some jokes and some lies. Although one of those may also be a lie. Or a joke. Either way, it’ll be funny. Honest. 

'A beguiling blend of the smart and the stupid. . . a real delight' - The Sunday Times
