SUMMARY:Sharon Wanjohi: A Perfect Life (Preview) - The Gaffe Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Wanjohi is finally getting her shit together. It’s time. I’ve bought some crystals\, taken an iron supplement and finally stopped avoiding my taxes. Will this be enough to undo years of avoidance? My therapist (girl I met in a nightclub toilet years ago) says no but I say yes. Because delusion is the key to success. \nSharon Wanjohi is a queer British Kenyan comedian who’s been making waves on the circuit with her take on the lack of Gen-z homeowners and maybe too much material on the cartoons that inspired a generation of sexual awakenings. \nShe has written on Never Mind the Buzzcocks\, Late Night Lycett and The Jonathan Ross Show.

SUMMARY:Raj Poojara & Roger O'Sullivan (Double Previews) - The Gaffe Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Raj Poojara grew up in a Ugandan-Indian household where career advice was less ‘follow your dreams’ and more ‘don’t embarrass the family’. In DICE\, he explores what happens when life feels pre-rolled. \nFrom identity confusion and hyper-competitive cousins to navigating respectable career paths and cultural expectation\, Raj examines the pressure to land on the ‘right’ number. Sharp\, personal and packed with punchlines. \n  \nAmbition is a mortal sin — or so Roger O’Sullivan was taught growing up in rural Ireland. But with the Irish identity trending and authenticity all the rage\, in 2026\, perhaps the real nepotism is being a peasant boy who can tell a few funny stories. \nNominee: Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025. Winner: Best Newcomer Comedian’s Choice Award 2025. ‘No shortcuts: just craft\, timing and a deep love of the game’ (One4Review.co.uk). ‘Talents like O’Sullivan don’t come around very often’ (Rolling Stone).

SUMMARY:Ted Milligan: United - The Gaffe Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Ted Milligan brings his Edinburgh Fringe debut show United\, to The Gaffe in Bristol. \nIt’s a joyously funny\, character led\, live mockumentary which follows a fictional football club and their dedicated fans as they scramble to regain their position in the league. \nThe town of Crubchester has fallen on hard times and Crubchester United F.C. finds itself outside the league. \nHaving been purchased by a 6 year oldbillionaire who brings in a no-nonsense manager\, can they return to their former glory in the 92? \nUnited is a unique narrative comedy hour packed with whip-smart writing and nuanced performances of sharply observed characters. \nThe show explores the importance of football in small communities and reflects the true feelings of the ultimately pointless endeavour of passionately supporting a football club. \nUnited is written and performed by Ted Milligan and directed by Martin Willis. \nIt was chosen as one of the Seven from Seven shows being supported by Seven Dials Playhouse. \nThe show is specifically on the first England match of the World Cup too which will be screening after the game. \n
