Esther Manito : Slagbomb ( Tour Preview / Work in Progress )
As seen on BBC'S Live at The Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show for ITV2. Winner Best Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2021. As heard on BBC Radio 4, 'Gritty reality... Esther tells it like it is' (FunnyWomen.com). The first Female Comedian to perform at Dubai Opera House!
After a sold-out, rave-reviewed tour last year, Esther is back—this time embracing the sheer joy of having absolutely no dignity.
She’s tried elegance. She’s aimed for sophistication. But somehow, the chaos always wins. Because really—how do you keep your poise when you’re juggling kids, aging parents, and the crushing weight of unmet expectations?
Following the success of her last show, Hell Hath No Fury, Esther is done pretending. Labeled an “angry woman”? Fine. She’ll own it. Now, she’s leaning in even further—into the mess, the mayhem, and the gloriously undignified truth of it all.
From failed attempts at being sexy, sudden hearing loss, and awkward encounters with dodgy drug dealers, to the brutal realities of a waxing session gone sideways—nothing’s off limits.
Because when there’s war in the world and family back in Lebanon, there are bigger things to worry about than being a “slagbomb.”
Currer Ball : The Neighbours (Preview / Work in Progress )
Glaswegian Gagsmith and audience favourite Currer Ball brings The Neighbours. A comedy show and true story about the couple next door. The perfect couple. Except… What were those noises coming through the wall this morning? And who was that knocking at their door in the middle of the night? And what were they really throwing into the recycling bin? Currer smells a rat, and not just because his flat’s infested. Notting Hill meets Rear Window in a show packed with gags and gasps.
