NEW COMEDY SPECIAL ALERT! 🤩

Hal Cruttenden is back with a brand-new special that promises to stick it to ‘The Man’, as long as ‘The Man’ doesn’t stick it back to him. With his trademark hard-hitting ‘take no prisoners’ comedy (this is what Hal told me to write!!!), he will be hilariously pontificating on subjects like middle-aged dating, social media, the insanity of modern politics and the fact that his daughters love him but don’t respect him. He believes that, after you’ve seen the show, you’ll feel exactly the same way.

Enjoy NextUppers! I'm sure we could all use a bit of a cheering up at the moment.❤️

Support Isabelle Farah this month 🤗

Hello again NextUppers! Some of you might know that today is World Suicide Prevention Day. It's a day that affects families and individuals all around the world. In support, comedian Isabelle Farah is pledging to donate a portion of her September earnings from her NextUp special, Ellipsis, to Suicide & Co.

Suicide & Co is the only national charity in the UK focused on professional support for people bereaved by suicide. Their mission is to provide essential support and open up the conversation about suicide loss, so no one has to go through it alone.

By watching her show this month, you'll be directly donating to this amazing organisation. Over the next few weeks, pop it on a few times in the background while you go about your day. Every view counts. Thanks guys! ❤️

🤩 REWIND THE FRINGE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT! 🤩

We're letting you lot know before anyone else that this year's 'Rewind The Fringe' is happening from Friday, 25 September to Sunday, 27 September. 

What is Rewind the Fringe and how does it work?

A lot of comedians take their Edinburgh Fringe shows on tour after August, meaning some streams were strictly one-night-only. However, the vast majority of comedians we streamed last month have agreed to bring their shows back for Rewind the Fringe!

If you missed a performance during the festival, or want to relive your favourites, you’ll have exclusive access to stream them over a single weekend.

We’ll announce the official lineup once the final details are locked in. But we couldn't wait to share one upgrade: all 5 of Monkey Barrel’s Big Shows are officially confirmed for Rewind! 

Keep an eye out for the full lineup drop coming soon! 🫶
