One of Stewart Lee's Top 10 Best Stand Ups In The World Ever, As seen on BBC2's 'Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle'
Described by BBC Comedy Development as "The Sean Lock of his generation",
So 2026 is going to be a great, by the way, spectacular. I’ve just decided based on no evidence whatsoever. As the global clusterf*ck collides impressively with personal crisis, the chief executive of self awareness – Stephen Carlin is on hand to explain how none of this fiasco is any of his fault. Now sit back, kick back and enjoy the Cool Aid. 'He’s a quality comedian' (Kevin Bridges). ***** (Herald).

What a brilliant night we had. Ace little intimate venue with a big surprise space upstairs. We went back last night too. We've had a load of great nights at other venues with Colleywobblers nights so trusted it would be funny. Couldn't have asked for better. Kerry Godlimin was brilliant and some new comedians I'd not heard of. Robert awhile stole the night though -what a phenomenal talent. I'm slightly obsessed he's so clever. Well done on pulling together such a great night and to Shaun the host.

venue is the best. Sorry, can't remember the name of the Lithuanian guy who got lost.....but he was surprisingly good, felt like a really natural performer!

The acts weren’t up to scratch this time - first and last were good but no belly laugh from me. Middle four were difficult to watch - I know racism is an issue but it was hard to have three acts covering offer similar ground in a way that just didn’t quite land. We’ll try again next month!
