Feeling blue? Down in the mouth? Has your get up and go got up and went? Well settle back and enjoy some good old-fashioned stand-up comedy buffoonery, courtesy of Christian Finnegan! Recorded live at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, Au Contraire! is an evening of awkward personal revelations and hypocritical assaults on your character!

A first class evening of comedy anecdotes and audience participation, all delivered in Adam Hills laid-back style.

The offbeat German comedian offers his take on life in the UK. Wehn, who styles himself as the 'German Comedy Ambassador to the UK', moved to Britain in 2002 and has since made a name for himself on the stand up comedy circuit and through appearances on TV shows including '8 Out of 10 Cats', 'The Alternative Comedy Experience' and 'Dave's One Night Stand'.

Politicians complain of a left-wing media bias but there are plenty of rightwing comedians it just seems that most of them are being investigated by Operation Yewtree. Maybe its a deliberate smokescreen given that politicians, rather than journalists or estate agents, are now the least respected and trusted of all professions. Boris Johnson is the only current politician in the country with a popularity above 1. Comedians have seen this and are standing to be politicians. Are you going to lie back and let the clowns take over? Are you going to stick your head under the duvet as Bozzer de Pfeffel Johnson rides his crazy zipwire into town? Mind you that duvet is warm and cosy, isnt it? And theres a cup of tea available. And a muffin. And a chocolate cupcake.

Powerhouse stand-up Chris D’Elia takes New Orleans by storm in his very first one-hour stand-up special, “White Male. Black Comic.,” on Comedy Central. British dudes, drunk girls, and bears on romantic dates at Applebee’s. Hey, why is it that we are the only species that makes love, anyway? Chris D’Elia explains the hilarious truth and more in this dynamic new special.

Touring to over 1.5 million people and hosting hit shows '8 Out of 10 Cats', '10 O'Clock Live' and 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year' means that Jimmy knows a thing or two about making people laugh. The show is packed with one-liners, stories & jokes—some clever, some rude and a few totally unacceptable.

After receiving rave reviews in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, Bill Bailey brings ‘Qualmpeddler’ to the Hammersmith Apollo London. A brilliant mix of stand-up, stories, music and old-fashioned wit distilled from his own extraordinary experiences and reactions to the modern world, he looks at Cut-Price Shark Diving, The Hiding Skills of Dentists, A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance & Internet Shopping, Mandarin Ambiguity, Religious Dubstep, and Fashioning Replacement Hamsters. All in all, vintage Bill Bailey with trademark musical mash-ups, multi-lingual riffs, films, songs, philosophizing and silliness on a grand scale…plus one amazing owl. “Qualmpeddler is... part rock-concert, part political discourse, part philosophical enquiry... masterfully constructed... the thinking person’s comedian...” - Herald Sun, Melbourne.
