Described as 'Part Jesus, part Charlie Manson' by The Herald, Tom Stade is breaking up his 2019 tour with a two night visit to The Leicester Square Theatre. NextUp will record his 24th May performance.

Archie Maddocks

The biting yet heartfelt Matchsticks show created and performed by Archie Maddocks will be recorded at the Angel Comedy Club on 5th June.

Sarah Callaghan

Sarah Callaghan's The Ballad of Sarah Callaghan, an eclectic mix of comedy and poetry, will also be recorded at Angel's The Bill Murray on 5th May.

Joe Sutherland

NextUp's cameras will also be at Joe Sutherland's final performance of his sell out show Toxic. It takes place at The Glory in Dalston on 24th June.
