Two Edinburgh WIPs from rising comedy stars John Tothill and Will Owen!

John Tothill: Thank God This Lasts Forever (Work in Progress)

Last year, John Tothill was visited by a series of terrible plagues. Now, he's desperate to tell you all about it (preferably over many drinks and maybe the tiniest cigarette?). Imagine the Old Testament, with less historical accuracy and even more divine intervention. And it's a stand-up show, not a book. Chortle Awards' Best Newcomer nominee 2024. John's debut show was one of the Best-Reviewed Edinburgh Fringe Shows of 2023 (Comedy.co.uk). As seen on Comedy Central Live. 'Resplendent, ridiculous, didactic, and fabulous' (Tatler).

Will Owen: Like, Nobody's Watching (Work in Progress)

Watch rising star Will Owen fight for his place in the hearts of the Great British Public, in a competition entirely of his own-making. From the Winner of Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year comes a glittering debut comedy hour of fastidiously-curated spontaneity. Featuring admittedly over-developed musings on popularity, performance and the Pussycat Dolls. He will dance like nobody’s watching, just as long as somebody is. The stakes have been higher. Bath Comedy Festival New Comedian Second Runner-Up 2022; 2Northdown Finalist 2022.

‘a master of the casually cruel comment, biting yet delivered with an archetypal Gen Z indifference… it’s a winning formula' (Chortle)

Directed by Daniel Emery and Molly Stacey.
