This Week’s Livestreams on NextUp! 🤩

🎤 Live from The Frog & Bucket, new Comedians try to 'beat the frog' in this anarchic, iconic show. This is the most unpredictable comedy night in The North. The show where the crowd are in control and you never know which future stars you will see! The Frog’s open mic night has helped launch: Peter Kay, Johnny Vegas, John Bishop, Jason Manford, Sarah Millican and the list goes on.

🎤Live from Backyard Comedy, Comedy Knockout is a comedy competition where 12 new acts go head to head with their best comedy material – and the audience votes who goes through each round until the end. Let the funniest win!

And lastly, I've read your comments about catch-ups and going forward am DEFINITELY going to post when they become available (with direct links) so there isn't any disappointment or frustration. That's the last thing we want you all to experience, especially as catch-ups are meant to be convenient (🤣). Let's do this!

Apologies gang. Tonight's live stream at the Bill Murray pub has been cancelled by the venue. Apologies for any inconvenience. Everyone who has pre-registered for the event has been emailed too. ❣️

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.

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? 🤗
