Hastings Comedy Festival fan favourite Russell Hicks returns for a festive special. The American UK-based comic is known for his razor-sharp improvisation and has appeared on Channel 4, ITV, BBC and Prime Video (including Lovestruck High), as well as in Edgar Wright’s The Running Man. Expect a high-energy Christmas night full of quick wit, crowd work and the unpredictable style that’s made him a local favourite.

Billed as a "work in progress", Simon had a good first 20 minutes and a very mediocre final 40! Arriving an hour late didn't help his cause. Needs a lot of work pre-Edinburgh.

Unfortunately, Sasha was held up by trains and couldn't make it. But we enjoyed the others who filled in at the last minute. Gorgeous venue. Lovely organisers. Bar well stocked
