JOSIE LONG: SOMETHING BETTER Thurs 23 Feb, 8pm, £14/£12 conc Following the international sell-out success of her show Cara Josephine, the star of BBC Radio 4’s Romance and Adventure, and presenter of Shortcuts, tours her eighth solo stand-up show. “I’m 34, I wanted to have kids by now, and be in love, and have a country that didn’t vote with the far right parties to march us all off a cliff. I thought we would have won by now. And I wanted to be taller and better looking” This is a show about optimism and hopefulness, about looking for people and things to look up to and about feeling like an outsider for the first time. “Every bit as funny as heartfelt” #### The Guardian

Lee Hurst - Comedy Show No.9 Sat 18 Feb, 8pm, £16.50 One of Britain’s most-loved comedians is back with a new show. Having earned his stripes over twenty years ago as a circuit comic and one of the best telly warm-up men in the business, Lee quickly became a regular face on comedy panel shows including They Think It’s All Over and Have I Got News For You. His combined quick wit, sharp observation and easy manner make an evening in Lee’s company a fun night out. This is Lee’s ninth full-length comedy show, and is jam-packed with laughs. There are no gimmicks. There is no over-arching narrative journey. This is one man, a mic and his mind. Suitable for: 16 yrs+
