NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

Get ready for Edinburgh Fringe 2026!🥳🎉If you're new here, Fringe, the biggest arts festival in the world, is legendary for launching comedy stars…but it’s also legendary for completely draining your bank account. But the good news is we're doing the heavy lifting (and the walking) for you. 🤫 We’ve scouted the absolute best rising comics and we're streaming the festival's hottest shows straight to your screen. This August, get ready for pure, unfiltered, front-row Fringe brilliance from the comfort of your couch. Oh, and obviously you guys will be the first to know about the lineup...coming soon! Any predictions/wishes/desires/dreams? 🤗 Welcome to Ask a Comedian - our little corner of the NextUp community for getting closer to the people who do the mindblowing, and surprisingly full-on job of making people laugh. 🎭This channel is a place to drop questions for comedians about anything comedy. From writing and finding ideas, prep and pre-show routines, nerves and confidence, gigs that went great (and gigs that didn’t) to touring, crowd work, heckles, bombing, you name it! Ask what you’re curious about, whether you’re a comedy nerd, a casual watcher, or someone who performs. Keep it respectful (obvs!)How it works: We’ll post when we're meeting up with a comedian to film their special or chatting with them, you leave your questions in the comments and we’ll pick 3–5 to put to them, and share the answers back here. 🎤

10 Year T-Shirt Idea Incoming...👕

Hey hey guys! We've been doing some brainstorming on the 10 year birthday t-shirt and came across this image the other day.

Imagine a football-jersey-style tee in black or white, featuring our logo on the left chest and a bold number '10' on the back composed entirely of NextUp comedian names.

We're quite excited by the idea but want your opinions! Go!🤩

What's on this week?! 🔴

Happy Monday NextUppers - here's what's happening this Thursday:

🎤The Bill Murray: Live from Angel Comedy, this comedy night showcases the best talent in the UK and beyond. Lots of their regulars have gone on to appear on Live at the Apollo, on panel shows like Mock The Week or have their own specials on Netflix. It's a friendly place where you get to see tomorrow's stars just before they break big. The lineup hasn't been confirmed yet - will post a comment once it goes live on their website.

🎤Robin Morgan (Mock The Week) hosts this show, a fast-paced, inclusive & spontaneous show joined by three stand-out stand-up comedians. Expect big laughs & good vibes from the amazing Glee Club Cardiff. This week's lineup is Brennan Reece, Rosco McClelland, Carly O'Connor and Joe Riley.
