Please note: Book tickets for each separate show via the links below, not on the Electric Palace website's ticket booking system. All shows last 1 hour.
7.30pm Freya McGhee (Work in Progress)
Freya is using science to try and make her life more successful. Although she only got a 2:2 from the University of Brighton, so perhaps she shouldn’t back herself on that ability.
With over 50K followers online and millions of views, her science jokes are quickly becoming a cult favourite.
8.45pm Krystal Evans: I'm Gonna Die in a Ditch (Work in Progress)
Join Krystal as she fingerblasts you into her life and finds out in real time which of her anecdotes are funny and/or interesting. Some of it might be about sex. Some of it might be about divorce. Or why Americans involuntarily get really into the American flag around age 50. And why she might possibly never be let back into her own country.
10pm Jaz Mattu Fights His Audience
In my comedy career, work life, and actual life, people have tried to fight me. Jaz Mattu Fights His Audience is a show about all those moments and how I deal with conflict, wrapped in one absurd, multimedia stand-up experience. Please don’t try to fight me during the show. “Truly unique.” (ENTERTAINMENT NOW ★★★★) “Ambitious and innovative.” (FEST) “Mattu has a great deal of creativity and ingenuity.” (BROADWAY BABY)
