Fresh from her new show on BBC Radio 4, award-winning comedian Eleanor Morton returns with a show all about mermaids and why she wants to be one, even though she can't swim. A show all about wanting to be beautiful, mythology, 2000s magazine sex tips, rat boyfriends, and James Cameron's submarine. Justice for Nicola Roberts.

Fringe legend returns with his first new show in four years. Hilarious stand-up about the human condition, about how little we know about what’s going on inside our bodies and our minds, and about what it’s like to have an endoscopy on Remembrance Sunday at exactly 11am. Some poems too. Maybe a few songs.
