Ikechukwu Ufomadu review: Absurd ‘Amusements’ deserves your full dedication
If he hasn’t decided to talk about it, it’s probably not important. I have absolutely no information to divulge about this man after seeing Amusements and I don’t want any!
Bi-Curious George, Queer Planet review: Celebrating the majesty of the natural world, in all its queer glory
Drag king and nature expert Bi-Curious George takes us on a joyful journey through the animal kingdom, in all of its queer majesty.
Benjamin Alborough review: Unruly and lively game show achieves Absolute Monopoly
The capitalist origins of Monopoly were not to be upheld, and so a Homeowners’ Association was started. One of the contestants on stage was at one point made to reveal actual proof of his mortgage. There was arm wrestling, partial nudity and a lot of milk.
Crizards review: This Means War is pure fun from beginning to end
Double act Will Rowland and Eddy Hare, who are hoping to expand their influence as the UK’s lowest energy double act to cover all of Europe, are back with a serious show, This Means War.
Rosalie Minnitt review: Clementine is utter chaos and utter glee
Rosalie is brilliant in every aspect of this show. Not only is she bursting with spirit, her delivery is hilarious and her skill as a writer, undeniable. It’s line after line of absolute bangers, each one well crafted and meticulously thought through.

Simon David is a quadruple threat: he can sing, he can act, he can roller-skate and he's wearing a skirt. He's a boy and he's wearing a skirt. He's from the North and he's wearing a skirt. One Olivier Award please!

Holly Spillar’s debut Hole is an ethereal exploration of her experiences with vaginismus, the difficulty of getting a diagnosis and of navigating sex. Or as Holly puts it at the opening of the show: “I’m looking for a pole that fits my hole.”
Jodie Mitchell review: Becoming John Travulva is special — an hour is not enough
Jodie Mitchell’s Glaswegian drag king persona John Travulva is almost as much of a real, tangible character as Jodie themself.
Kathy Maniura review: Goofy character comedy finds huge joy in the mundane
Kathy Maniura is really, really good at pretending to be inanimate objects
Lachlan Werner review: The best ventriloquy show you’ll ever see
Little malevolent but ultimately loveable witch Brew steals the show in Lachlan Werner’s Voices of Evil
Alice Cockayne review: Individuality and brilliance from a fascinating performer
I Showered Before I Came enthusiastically succeeds in straddling the divide between fully dedicated clowning and, somehow, observational comedy about life’s mundanities
Sophie Sucks Face review: Musical comedy is poignant and surprisingly relatable (for a show about incest)
Sophie Zucker’s musical is about a young Jewish woman hooking up with her cousin in the bathroom at a family funeral, but there is so much more to this incisive one-woman musical comedy show.
Lorna Rose Treen review: Uniquely creative - the possibilities are endless
In Lorna Rose Treen’s Skin Pigeon, every character is more exciting and bizarre than the last
