Call Me Lucky(en)
2015-08-07
An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy’s most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins’ gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child – a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.

The two experienced comedians Torben Chris and Thomas Hartmann have often been accused of being male chauvinists - a baseless and unfair label... according to them. In response to the accusations, they decided in 2011 to create a show that would be what it would look like if the accusations were true. Adding mustaches and an obvious twinkle in their eye, the two comedians engage in almost two hours of complaining about women's monumental lack of logic, and it's very funny - even according to the countless women who watched the show live.

Kevin Nealon: Loose in the Crotch(en)
2026-01-28
A brilliantly offbeat stand-up special where he dives into everything from skydivers who break the sound barrier to servers who put a little too much finger in your morning coffee. He riffs on the life-changing power of his TOTO bidet, the emotional chaos of texting Uber drivers, runaway Roombas and self check-outs. Kevin hilariously unpacks the loss of his beloved cat—and more importantly, the loss of the perfect jeans he buried with him—along with hospital enema standoffs, stress-eating entire cookie trays, and the deep philosophical question of what food is actually worth bending over for after a certain age. With his signature mix of mellow mischief, sharp observations, and absurd logic,

Nina Conti: Talk to the Hand(en)
2013-05-26
Bravely going where no ventriloquist has gone before, Nina Conti concocts a virtual zoo of puckish characters for this world premiere show. Talk to the Hand is an hour of nimble, profanity-strewn stand-up from the vibrant Nina Conti and her touring companions: the scruffy monkey, a posh-sounding owl-poet with a taste for generic verse, a Scottish granny, and the vodka-loving Lydia, recently purchased from another ventriloquist and yet to find a voice she likes. Her alter-egos come face to face with apparitions, special guests and real live humans which means you can rely on consistent lashings of warmth, technical brilliance, and vibrant wit.
