Irreverent and self-deprecating as they come, James Acaster has risen to the top of the comedy tree with his honest observational style, laying bare his life on stages, panel shows, podcasts, books, and more. Don't miss this tall drink of water when he brings his new show to venues across the country this year.

Jonathan Pie returns with The End of the World According to Jonathan Pie, a brand-new show that pulls together everything he's learned since Tom Walker first unleashed the character during the political chaos of the mid-2010s. Born out of Brexit-era frustration, fictitious political reporter Pie shot to prominence with his sweary, uncompromising online monologues; videos so convincing that millions mistook him for a real reporter. After sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and international tours across the US and Australia, Pie is back to take down everything global geopolitics throws at us!

Comedy sensation Troy Hawke is back on the road following sold out shows around the world last year! In his latest live show, Never Stop, Never Change!, expect a masterclass in high-velocity linguistic gymnastics, aggressive politeness and the odd navigation of the wrong-end-of-the-stick; unlike the brief interactions you've seen on his hugely successful social media channels, this stage show is a chance to dive deeper into Troy's unusual and hilarious worldview.

In From Cell to Civilisation Professor Alice Roberts explores the deep-time history of our species, moving beyond traditional philosophical questions to examine the cold hard evidence of our past. Taking insights from evolutionary biology and genetics, this fascinating show traces the biological lineage of humanity back to its molecular beginnings four billion years ago. With full use of the theatre's light, sound and visual possibilities to create an event that is a genuine spectacle, join Professor Roberts as she follows the physical and cultural expansion of our ancestors as they moved out of Africa and settled across the globe!
