27th March 2025 – Inside No.9 Stage/Fright

“Expect the unexpected as the acclaimed BBC TV series comes to life on stage, weaving its signature web of twisted tales and black humour. From the eerie to the absurd, Inside Number 9 – Stage/Fright combines comedy and horror with a dramatic script that will leave you guessing until the very end. Familiar characters and stories will mix with brand new material by the genius of creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, who will also perform in the production, as they bring their unique brand of storytelling to the West End for a strictly limited season.“

Location: Wyndham’s Theatre, London
With: Wesley Mead
Guest Star: Danny Dyer
Comment: This show had some really fun jump scares, including the lights going out with a bang and no warning at the start of the play, and again at the end of the interval. All the seemingly random elements tied together at the end, and there were so many twists and false endings, some of the audience actually still seemed confused afterwards!

27th March 2025 – My Neighbour Totoro

“Hailed as “a tender and remarkably beautiful show” (Financial Times), My Neighbour Totoro is an enchanting coming-of-age story exploring the magical fantasy world of childhood and the transformative power of imagination, as it follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei.”

Location: Gillian Lynne Theatre, London
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: Our second time watching this show (first in 2022) and it was just as magical. The way the puppets are designed and controlled is just beautiful, and the Catbus makes you laugh out loud in wonder.

27th April 2025 – Lou Sanders

“An internationally-acclaimed stand-up comedian, Lou presents her most personal show yet (but fully clothed). She says: “Just like Tom Cruise does all his own stunts, I’m going to do all my own jokes!””

Show Title: No Kissing in the Bingo Hall
Location: Komedia, Bath
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: Terrifyingly Lou got people up on stage to interview! Luckily we avoided being chosen!

17th May 2025 – Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Tour Title: The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour
Location: Co-Op Live, Manchester
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: We had seats behind the stage which was an amazing view. The stage had no back, and we were sat much closer than any of the seats with a front facing view.

11th July 2025 – Eden Sher

“A show about finding out who you are when your TV show ends, and your real life begins. Because when you’ve played a character on TV for a decade, what exactly does it mean to be yourself? This show offers an intimate glimpse into a popular sitcom actor’s real, raw life. It’s funny, vulnerable and disarmingly casual – you will walk away feeling like you’ve made a new friend and learned more about birthing twins than you ever did before.”

Show Title: I was on a Sitcom
Location: The Bill Murray, London
With: Wesley Mead

16th-20th August 2025 – Edinburgh Fringe

16th August 2025 – Agent Red’s Audition

“Want to be a film star? Come watch a live audition, or will you brave the stage and try it yourself? There might be a twist though… Exactly how much is captured during a short audition? During the show, the candidate is invited on stage for an audition. Will they follow the prompts or go their own way? Every show is different!”

Show Title: Agent Red’s Audition
Location: The Speakeasy, The Royal Scots Club
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: This was the first show of our 2025 Fringe, at 10am after only getting off the sleeper train at 7am. There was only one other person in the audience with us, so Wes got volunteered to go on stage. The premise of the show was that he was to take part in a scripted “interview” and then this footage would be turned into a “film” with the lines he said inserted into a different script with a different plot.

Unfortunately, the host explained that the technology hadn’t been perfected in time, so we could only watch an example of what it should look like. We were told that as soon as the technology worked then Wes’s video would be uploaded on their website. As of 4/5/2026 this has still not happened.

16th August 2025 – Chris Grace

“Sardines explores the tragic, hilarious and important questions of our time: Can we enjoy life if we know how it ends? Does making art actually help? And if Rihanna’s song is called Don’t Stop the Music, why does the music… stop?”

Show Title: Sardines – A Comedy About Death
Location: Assembly George Square Studio 3
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: Chris starts by showing a family photo from 2011 of him with his sister, brother, father, mother, and partner, and then explains that all of those people are now dead. The show explores his relationships with his family, and each of their deaths. The death of his partner was especially harrowing. The show was both hilarious and devastating, and probably our favourite hour of the whole Fringe.

16th August 2025 – Mates Improv

“It’s New York City. It’s the 90s. And this is the world’s craziest sitcom. A parody of classic TV such as Seinfeld, Frasier and Friends and completely improvised from your suggestions. Could this show BE any funnier?”

Show Title: Mates Improv
Location: Just the Tonic, The Caves
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: This was decent. It wasn’t our favourite improv (nothing could live up to Mischief Theatre or Dropout) but it was funny enough and we enjoyed the show. We would go to another one if it was on at a convenient time of day, but wouldn’t sacrifice a different show to fit it in.

16th August 2025 – Visitors

“Thank you for inviting us into your home. We didn’t know where else to go… A dead couple look for a temporary solution to their permanent condition. Visitors is an experience for only two people at a time, sitting opposite one another, and is a reflection on our irrepressible desire to touch and asks why the dead find so little comfort in the world of the living. We require you to remain 3 metres apart, and while you may yearn to reach across the chasm that separates you, we ask you to be careful who else you invite in…“

Similarly to Flight which we experienced the year before, in Visitors you’re given headphones which play binaural 360 degree sound to create full immersion. When the lights go off, it’s so dark you can’t see your own hand in front of your face. Wes and I had to sit opposite each other, and were both given different instructions at different points, including needing to get up and move around. Unlike Flight, Visitors was designed to be played at home, so there were no 4D elements. It was still done well, although I preferred the cleverness of the idea more than the plot itself.

16th August 2025 – Alison Spittle

“A man on the train tells her to sit down and now she’s doing a whole stand up show about it.”

Show Title: Big
Location: Monkey Barrel 1
With: Wesley Mead
Comment: A lot of this material was the same as the WIP show we’d seen the year before, but there was plenty of new content, and we enjoyed seeing the final version.

16th August 2025 – Tom Rosenthal

“Arctic Monkeys’ album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, hit shelves on January 2006. Tracks like I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor and When the Sun Goes Down became anthems, showcasing Alex Turner’s sharp lyrics and observational storytelling. Tom Rosenthal’s show, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I Am, hits the Fringe in August 2025. Jokes like Wimbledon, Daniel Radcliffe and Some Weather We’re Having have the potential to become classics, showcasing Rosenthal’s sharp nose and observational squawking.”

16th August 2025 – Two Hearts

“Two Hearts invite you to step into a concert-like experience and forget about the horrible world we live in with this non-stop boiler-room set of uplifting comedy hits (largely about the horrible world we live in).”
