Yeah I looooove the new features! I love I can instantly see if something is watched and I like liking, and I love the new way to have reminders for upcoming shows. You are all amazing - pushing to make the platform better, not just in content, but experience. I wish other platforms had your drive

Ah! No! Money time! So instead of it being a new feature; instead launch a new app called NextUp Companion app. I'd pay £7 a year; £30 for a lifetime. Have the full list of NextUp featured comedians (that will be incentive for the conedians to pitch you a show) have the ratings, maybe a personal private comments log. And have it like an imdb of performances so you can see where they are going and have links to any recorded previous. 🥰🤑

Tarot / Gein's Family Workshop, are amazing. Saw them at Suspiciously Cheap Comedy tonight. Must be my 8th time seeing them at least 🥰

My recommendations for this coming week:

Alexander Bennett!

Alice Fraser! Legend

Philip Kostelecky! Supposed to be best newcomer

John Robins ❤️

Rose Matafeo!! I'm jealous! She is so good!

Who are you looking forward to seeing? Whats your favourite comedy style?

Who is everyone seeing? Either live or on nextup?! We have about 12 booked 🥰 I can't wait! I AM BUZZING! My top 3 I am most excited for are Rosie Jones, Olga Koch and Seymour Mace 🥰

Although I keen to have my mind expanded by the wonderful Robin Ince.

And I'm curious to hear which lyrics will change for Johnny and the Baptists.

I feel so incredibly lucky to experience the art of so many wonderful people

Chris Karaiskos  I would say if you're new to him - start with Tony-Law-Lite "An Hour & Some of Tony Law" - it's early stuff and it has the scaffolding to ease you into his style. Then after you can get into experience solid 100% Tony in "Maximum Nonsense" or my personal favourite "Go Mr Tony Go". However if you're used to stretching your comfort zone and enjoying surreal whimsey then just plunge directly into "Go Mr Tony Go".  It's such a shame he didn't save any of his lockdown twitch stuff,  but...  OOoooooOOOOooo google "LIVE COMEDY: Tony Law and Phil Nichols are VCEB!" Nextup has a recording on their Facebook <3 This is what they would do in lockdown!!!!!!!!!!! Something else! Hold onto your hat!

I always recommend XS Malarkey if you are in Manchester; and Backyard Comedy Club if you are in London :)

Both are a space for new and A-List comedians to use the stage to try out new material; and its less than £10 a ticket.

I have also started to go to Bright Club Manchester where researchers and nerds do geeky jobs around an academic theme. Perfect for Manchester with our 4 universities and many colleges.

Also I would recommend Stewart Lee's show Basic Lee ... it has a surprise.
