A chance to catch two full shows for less than the price of one before they go up to the Edinburgh Festival.  We aim to recreate the true Edinburgh experience – no audience, no pay for the acts, great fun!  We have an enviable record in predicting the big-hit shows before they win awards 

8pm Michelle Shaughnessy.  Too Late, Baby (Work in Progress)

A show for anyone who thinks it's too late to achieve their dreams...because it probably is

 

This is an admission of 'holy sh*t. I think I've missed the boat'. Michelle is not close to reaching her goals. Instead of whining about it, she is doing what she does best – turning it into comedy.  

'Charismatic and relatable... comedy gold' **** (Entertainment-Now.com).

 'Star Quality' (List).

 'I can't for the life of me understand why she's not a household name!' (Ed Byrne).

 

9.15pm Chin Wang     Work in Progress

 

A brand new work-in-progress show by award-winning comedian Chin Wang.

 

Chin Wang is very scared of babies and unexpected pregnancies.

 

When she was little, she asked her mother where she came from, and her mother said: "I found you outside on the street, in the dumpster.", which later on she found out that it was a lie, and actually it was the most common lie to Chinese kids. (though at the time she deeply believed it, unfortunately.) 

 

This work-in-progress comedy hour tries to deconstruct some deep, philosophical topics, such as feminism in Southeast Asia, the Chinese population problem, sex education, the meaning of family, and also the meaning of Chin Wang''s life.’

 

Funny, charming, and hilariously honest, Chin is fast becoming one of the most exciting new acts to see'' The Comedy Store. 'She has a charming air of being cheerfully baffled by it all,.. evokes some cartoonishly amusing mental images' Chortle

 

As seen on BBC 3, as heard on BBC Radio. 

Tour support for Olga Koch. 

Nominated for BBC New Comedy Award 2022. 

Finalist of Scottish Comedian of the Year 2021. 

2NorthDown New Act Competition 2021. 

Winner of King Gong at The Comedy Store. 

Her last show Wang''s Republic, was featured at Soho Theatre Soho Rising Festival 2024.
