SUMMARY:Ian Stone Looking For The Wow - Hen and Chicken
DESCRIPTION:Ian Stone will be back in Bristol for 2026 with Looking For The Wow. \nThe comedian has been on a sold-out tour during 2025 and is back\, this time looking for life’s missing magic. \n“There has to be more to life than the humdrum and the routine before the inevitable slide into disease\, decay\, and death. Why can’t we sneak in a hint of awesome\, a tad of amazing\, and maybe a smidge of wonderful? Where you get is your business. A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some\, but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years — I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual\, but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah — forty-nine years ago. “God will be watching\,” she said. Well\, at least He got to see the game. The point is\, life could be so much better — so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.” \nIt’s been a hectic few years for Ian\, who has taken Edinburgh by storm\, winning the Spirit of the Fringe Award. \nYou can also find Ian on his popular twice-weekly Arsenal podcast – Handbrake Off\, for The Athletic. \nFor more details about his forthcoming tour\, visit: https://www.ianstonecomedian.co.uk/ \nBristol booking details below

SUMMARY:Connor Burns – Gallus at Hen and Chicken
DESCRIPTION:Scottish comedian Connor Burns is coming to Bristol as part of a national tour of his new show Gallus. \nGallus\, in traditional Scots dialect means bold\, daring and reckless. \n“Scots have a fail safe way of making sure their kin don’t get too full of themselves – they cut them down to size at every opportunity\,” Burns says. \n“But if an outsider was to attack you they’d defend you to the death. As a Scottish comedian I dance on that razor of wanting to blow up the room\, but always checking over my shoulder to see if I might just be getting too cocky. Gallus”. \nHis brand new show is described as ‘fiercely funny’ with ‘bold insights into modern life’ and a ‘no-nonsense’ delivery\, from a performer known for his cynicism and razor sharp wit. \nFor more information about Connor Burns: www.connor-burns.com \nBooking details below

SUMMARY:Ignacio Lopez - Señor Self-Destruct at the Hen & Chicken
DESCRIPTION:Popular international comedian Ignacio Lopez\, has added an extra Bristol date to his Señor Self-Destruct tour. \nAfter selling out his first date\, an additional performance was added to keep up with demand. \nThe comedian is a regular feature on TV\, having taken part in shows such as Live at the Apollo\, Have I got News For You and QI. \nLopez’s show sees him on a mission to destroy himself in order to build a ‘better version’. \n“I set out to write a show about self improvement because I’ve truly destroyed my body and mind performing stand-up comedy\,” he says. \n“It’s time I sorted myself out\, but not before I spend another 5 months traveling up and down the UK on public transport\, eating terrible food and not getting any sleep. The world is on fire and I can’t fix that but I will tell you my best jokes about British tourists\, Spanish horror stories and the origins of music festivals. Also I try to do a cockney accent at one point\, which is worth the price of admission alone.” \nIgnacio Lopez – Señor Self-Destruct will be at the Hen & Chicken on 31 May 2025 \nFeatured Image: Michelle Huggleston
