Festival favourites Tony Law and Russell Hicks are returning with previews of their brand-new shows. Tony Law, a Canadian stand-up comedian is known for his surreal material and delivery. Many of his stand-up routines are ad-libbed, and built around various subjects that he has thought of, but not planned a routine about, and often involve fictional and surreal situations. Russell Hicks is one of the UK’s most razor-sharp and exciting comic talents. An American based in London, he is a provocative and exuberant comedian with a rockstar edge, and as appeared on some of the UK’s biggest TV networks, including Channel 4 and ITV.
Acts will be performing their previews, work in progresses and tour shows across 10 venues including The Crypt, The Piper, Albion, Heist Market, Oscars, The Nest, The Good Place, Ye Olde Pump House, Electric Palace and The Jenny Lind.
