Evening folks!
With so much happening in the world right now, I don’t know about you guys, but comedy is my escape and lifeline. 🫠
Here’s what’s gonna bring up the mood this week - a couple of livestream classics. Which one are you joining us for? (Both is the preferred answer btw 😉)

NEW Show Alert! 🚨
Total 2024 Fringe sell out. Amy Annette is back, after her critically acclaimed 2024 debut, with a show about being perceived. Ever felt like a floating head? Amy has. But she'd rather talk about you.
Nominee: Best New Show, Leicester Comedy Festival 2025.
'A delight to behold' **** (Guardian)
'A bright addition to the stand-up scene' **** (List)
'Brilliant, hilarious. If I didn't love her so much, I'd hate her' (Suzi Ruffell)
Enjoy guys!

Happy Valentine’s Day gang! 🫶
We know today can be a bit cheesy (and very chocolatey), but it also feels like a good excuse to say something important: we really appreciate you!
This community, the chats, the jokes, the opinions, the showing up - means more to us than you’ll ever know. So consider this a big and very sincere hug from all of us at NextUp.
Hope you’re having a lovely day, however you’re spending it! Can't wait to see you all in the livestream later. 😍

Drum roll please…🥁
So Hannah shared an idea in the community chat yesterday and we loved it so much that we actually went away and made it real!
We’re doing a two-night livestream watch-along called My Funny Valentine, and it’s basically a curated montage of our favourite comedy moments about love, divorce, dating disasters, failed relationships and the joy (and chaos) of being single.
It’s made from on-demand clips, but we’ll be streaming it together so we can all hang out in the chat in real time and have a laugh.
Both nights start at 7pm GMT!
Also worth knowing: Saturday and Sunday are completely different montages, so coming to both isn’t just re-watching the same thing twice. Featured comedians will be announced soon...
You asked, we delivered! ❤️

New Show Alert! 🚨
After an award-nominated, sell-out Edinburgh Fringe debut, the young and gifted comic, Tadiwa Mahlunge, returns with another 'accomplished, infectiously funny' (Skinny Mag) hour. With more fevered tales of how this political refugee is trying to get out of the corporate rat race without losing his flat, or worse, himself. 'Fearless' (Daniel Kaluuya) ‘Impressive’ (Guardian) ‘Prodigious’ (Kiri Pritchard-McLean’) ‘The circuit might have created another Jimmy Carr.’ (Chortle)
Enjoy! Tell us what you think too! ❣️

Updates for tonight's stream gang!
(and yes - we're on site testing the mic as you can see)
Sadly Angela Barnes has caught COVID so will not be MCing. We have been told a replacement will step in, but we haven't been told who yet. Hopefully she gets well soon ❤️
The show has also been pushed back to 8pm by the organisers, but we will start the stream at the original start time of 7:30pm so the live chat launches. Apologies - this was outside of our control.
Thanks for bearing with us - the line-up is still a stonker, and all for an amazing cause. ✊
