Aurie Styla: Maverick
2027-02-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
Aurie Styla is one of the most naturally charismatic and hilarious comedians around. Following his acclaimed 100+ date worldwide tour, he’s back on the road with his brand new show ‘MAVERICK’.
‘MAVERICK’ looks at life from the end of ‘The Aurator’ Tour onwards, and although everything seems nice and ‘cushty’, something is throwing off the scales of wins and fails. The show hilariously explores his bad work-life balance, family influence, relationships, health and more.
Aurie has appeared on ‘Richard Osman’s House Of Games’ (BBC), ‘Comedy Central Live’, ‘Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club’ (ITV), ‘Don’t Hate The Playaz’ (ITV), multiple seasons of ‘The Stand-Up Sketch Show’ (ITV2), and many more shows. He’s the host of his very popular BBC Radio 4 show ‘Tech Talk’ which is returning for a second series. In 2025 he was selected as a New Face Of Comedy at the prestigious Just For Laughs Montreal festival, and in 2026 will debut at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in Los Angeles.

Ode to Joyce
2027-02-06 12:00 - 14:00 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
Joyce Grenfell was one of the greatest female entertainers of the twentieth century, loved the world over for her hilarious and beautifully observed monologues and songs, as well as numerous film, television and radio appearances.
Her legacy continued through the work of Victoria Wood, who cited her as being a great influence, as well as an array of female comedians including Miranda Hart.
First conceived in honour of her centenary year and playing to sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh Festival, this revue has been delighting audiences ever since. In this gem of nostalgia, which recreates the setting of one of Joyce’s stage shows, Cheryl Knight ‘absolutely captures her spirit’ (Everything Theatre). Woven between the well-known songs and monologues are some of her more delicate and poignant pieces, as well as some rare and exclusive material. Truly a labour of love, this show brings back to life an extraordinary entertainer.

Ahir Shah: Golden
2027-02-21 20:00 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Stage Two, Chantry Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1RL, United Kingdom
HBO and Netflix star Ahir Shah (Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You, QI) is back with his new stand-up show Golden. His last show, Ends, won the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show, sold out shows across the world and was recorded as a comedy special for Netflix.
Ahir has also been seen and heard on shows including Ahir Shah: Dots (HBO), Jurassic World 3, Foundation (Apple TV), Richard Osman’s House of Games (BBC2), The Last Leg (C4), The Mash Report (BBC2), Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC2) and The Now Show (BBCR4).

Rhys James: Chop Logic

Rhys has made a discovery that could fix everything. It’s been staring him in the face the whole time, in a mirror held behind his head. If he can ignore his own problems for long enough, he might just be able to solve yours.
A fast, forensic show of big ideas and gag-dense overthinking from one of the nation’s sharpest stand-ups.
Star of TLC’s Mock The Week and BBC Radio 4’s Rhysearch, also seen furrowing his brow on QI, Live At The Apollo and his viral U&Dave lecture, ‘I Stalk Strangers Online’.

Susan Calman: Tall Tales
2027-02-28 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Royal, Theatre Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1RL, United Kingdom
Susan Calman hasn’t been on tour in ten years, but now she’s back with a brand-new show. A decade older, but not necessarily wiser, Susan has found herself in some improbable situations over the years. Tall tales is a show about Cruising, driving tanks, cats and getting older. You might have seen her on the television or heard her on the radio but the absolute best way to see her is live on stage. You won’t believe how short she really is. Prepare yourself for an evening of barely believable stories, laughter and probably some dancing.
As seen on Grand Day Out, Cruising with Susan Calman, QI, House of Games and (a long time ago) Strictly Come Dancing.

Seann Walsh: This is Torture
2027-03-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
After his sell-out 2023 tour, the UK’s dishevelled king of stand-up, award-winning Seann Walsh returns with a brand-new hour of side-splitting comedy. Don’t miss his trademark high-energy exasperation and razor-sharp observations that leave audiences in stitches and on their feet all around the country. This year, he’s decided to name the show after the thing he says the most in life – THIS IS TORTURE.

Ted Hill: 110% Weird
2027-03-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
Ted Hill invites you inside his strange and chaotic mind for a hilarious show about fitting in, standing out, and self-acceptance.
Would Ted be better off as a “normal” comedian, or staying true to himself with multimedia, over-engineered technology, and an abundance¹ of facts about birds of prey?
After reaching the finals of Britain’s Got Talent², Ted recreates the show he would have performed for the King at the Royal Variety Performance, alongside all his best PowerPoint comedy. Expect high-energy jokes, ridiculous visual effects, and (funny) graphs.
Ted has finally learned how and why he is different³, but now he has a new puzzle to solve: what kind of weird does he want to be?
You’ll never see a sillier slideshow…

Georgie Jones: More Ups Than Downs
2027-03-25 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
Georgie Jones has (very scientifically) sorted her entire existence into two categories; Ups and Downs.
A cinematic kiss after a perfect date? Up
Contracting cystitis on day two of a five day camping trip? Down. Spectacular down.
In her latest hour, Georgie explores the ups, the downs, the ups that become downs, the downs that reveal themselves to be ups, the ups that are both downs and ups at the same time, the ups that are unequivocally ups, the downs that are undoubtedly downs and the ups that are only halfway up, so are neither up nor down (Grand Old Duke of York, is that you).
Praised for her ‘formidable stage presence and compelling way with words’ Georgie brings spoken word, stand up and emotional oversharing to the stage. More Ups Than Downs is packed with good stories, bad decisions, and the stubborn, hopeful truth that with a little bit of luck and a handful of good people, we might just end up with more ups than downs.

Attention All Shipping: A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast
2027-03-30 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.
How did a weather forecast for mariners capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?
Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what all those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.
Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies, this pacy, moving and hilarious show is selling out theatres up and down the land as it takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland. Attention All Shipping guarantees the shipping forecast will never sound the same again.

Lucy Beaumont: Bad at Quiz Shows, Good with Weirdos
2027-05-16 20:00 - 22:00 | Norwich Theatre Royal, Theatre Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1RL, United Kingdom
Lucy Beaumont has had quite the year. She lost a contestant £79,000 on The Wheel, forgot to revise for Mastermind, and generally confirmed she’s terrible at quiz shows. So she’s sticking with what she does best – this autumn, she’s back on the road with a brand new show.
Following the success of her sell-out debut UK tour, Lucy returns with Bad at Quiz Shows, Good with Weirdos – an evening packed with chaotic brilliance, mayhem, and beautifully surreal storytelling that’s made her one of the UK’s most beloved comedians.
Expect tales of going into hiding after Celebrity Traitors, creating cow udder couture on The Great British Sewing Bee, and navigating life as someone for whom “normal” has never made much of an appearance.
Whether you loved her on Taskmaster, know her from her award-winning sitcom, or just appreciate someone who turns everyday disasters into comedic gold, this is the night out you need. Come for the chaos. Stay for the weirdos.
