15:00 – Jen Ives: Peak Trans

As the discourse on trans people becomes more toxic in the UK – comedian, trans woman and nuisance Jen Ives is here to sort it all out, hun. Is JK Rowling the devil? Can a man love a trans woman and still truly be straight? And how long can Jen get away with taking maternity leave from work? Finalist: Funny Women, Laughing Horse, Leicester Mercury. ‘Great company’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘Jen Ives is a wonderful comedian. I’ve discovered her comedy in recent years, and I can’t get enough of it.’ (James Acaster).

16:30 Siblings – Siblage

Character comedians and IRL sisters Maddy and Marina Bye are back and physically bigger than ever. Watch clown, physical comedy and relatively high-level acting unfold before your tear-filled eyes. Tears of sadness or laughter? You decide! Prepare for a raucous hour of absurdist sketch comedy from two hot twins (not twins but can be for casting purposes).

18:00 Luke Rollason: Bowerbird

A ‘gut-bustingly funny’ (**** (List)) thing in a turtleneck gives you a makeover for the interior design of your mind. Dive into a kaleidoscopic kitchen that will expose the love life of your cutlery drawer and make you totally rethink your mundane little life. It’s rubber-limbed, elastic-faced physical comedy for popular people.

Resistance is futile’ **** (TheWeeReview.com).
