What's on this week, NextUppers! 😍 

It's also April Fools day soon - aka the best day for silly comedy! Have you guys ever fallen for one before? I remember my grandmother telling me she once saw an article in the newspaper (back in the day) about spaghetti growing on trees, and because Italian cuisine wasn't popular in the UK during this time, she was truly fooled for YEARS. 🤣

By the way, here's the lineup for Glee Club Birmingham (The Bill Murray is coming soon!)

• John Fothergill

• Sam Picone

• Nathan Caton

• Sammy Dobson

Here's to fun-filled week guys. 🎤

Hey gang! Hope your Friday night’s treating you well!

It’s officially go-time on our YouTube channel, and we need our favourite people (YOU!) behind us. We’ve just dropped two public 10-minute sets: Alasdair Beckett-King & Jason Byrne. 😍

If you’ve got a minute, could you please be our awesome cheer squad and help these clips travel? Perhaps give them a like or leave a quick comment. And if you’re feeling extra generous, share one with a mate who needs a laugh!

This early push makes a huge difference. You’re the reason this works, and we’re so grateful you’re in our corner. 

Okay that's all from me - over and out. 🤣

Evening NextUppers! 

We’re filming a brand new special with comedian Rosco McClelland this week and, if he's up for it, we’ll grab a quick little Q&A while we’ve got him. 🎥

So…what should we ask Rosco?

If you're new to this series, anything comedy is on the table. Writing new bits, pre-gig rituals, nerves, hecklers, bombing (and recovering), warm-ups, favourite rooms, how jokes get built, whatever you’re curious about.

Pop your question in the comments 👇

We’ll choose 3–5 and get Rosco to answer! 😍

Deadline is Friday, midday, GMT.

Hey hey NextUppers — how are ya? I'm back with another glamorous weekly bulletin! 😁

We’ve got a cosy livestream this week Thursday from Glee Club Cardiff, and the line-up is looking awesome sauce.

So far we've got:
- Steve Williams
- Bethany Black
- Leah Renee
- one more still to be confirmed!

Time to jot this in the diary and plan a delish dinner/takeaway (I'm already thinking about my favourite local korma).

Oh! And if you haven't seen it already, your Community Picks playlist is officially LIVE! Thank you for all the amazing suggestions. Your votes were counted and the top 8 shows made it. Go have a look if you want some watch inspo this week. 

Anywaaay! Chat later! 🔥

It's finally the weekend! 🎉 We made it gang. Anyone got plans? ('Couch' counts by the way. Couch 100% counts)

Quick one while I've got you - we're re-launching our YouTube channel at the end of March (exciting!) and we'd love if you could be our cheerleaders by subscribing, watching, commenting etc. You know better than anyone how much joyous work goes into stand-up comedy, so help us keep the algorithm happy and the industry thriving 🙌

You might spot some videos labelled Members Only - that's a new YouTube membership we've added, where people can pay a small fee to access a tiny handful of full-length shows. It's basically a little taster for people who haven't found us yet.

But just so you know - as a NextUpper here, you're already getting the whole thing. Every show, every comedian and the perks of the full platform. The YouTube membership is a tiny slice of what you've got. 😌

Right, go enjoy your weekend then! 

Line-up for tonight's livestream...

(and it's a cracker)

- Kate Barron
- Peter Flanagan
- Raj Poojara
- Rob Moriarty
- Josephine Lacey
