Big Duck Energy Edinburgh Comedy Special
Advertisement
Yorkshire's only all female and non-binary comedy night presents an Edinburgh Work In Progress special featuring two of our fabulous friends, Hannah Platt and Vix Leyton.
This is bound to be a banger of a double bill show. Please note our new start time of 7:30pm. The doors at Bridge End Social will open from 7pm.
This will be a two half show with an interval in the middle. And, of course, our now legendary raffle to raise funds for Behind Closed Doors.
Part 1: Hannah Platt - Cult Classic
Are you a failure? A reject? Alone? Good. Named 'one to watch' by Rolling Stone Magazine, cult comedian/leader Hannah Platt is primed to prey on your vulnerabilities and bring you a new show you'll drink up like kool-aid.
Following a multi award-nominated debut, the 'voice of a new generation' (Skinny) returns to ask: once you've sacrificed everything, should you sacrifice your soul? And can you do it online?
'Humour sharp enough to draw blood' Guardian
'A supremely accomplished example of how to reconstitute deep, emotional trauma into punchy, affecting stand-up' Scotsman
Part 2: Vix Leyton - Chief Petty Officer
What do 50 Cent, elephants, Lord Buckethead and the wife of the man who definitely did not buy adult films on pay-per-view have in common? You’ll find out
Chief Petty Officer is a sharp, visually driven comedy lecture about history’s smallest grudges and the moment they go too far. From imperial overreach to pop culture beefs, stand-up comedian and consumer champion Vix Leyton dissects petty acts that accidentally changed the world, plotting them on an ambitious scientific framework to determine who stopped at the peak – and who disastrously doubled down. Smart, structured nonsense with bite, insight and a whole lot of laughs. Vix is serious about pettiness, and she has a lot of views to share.
Perfect for a BBC Radio 4-leaning brain, history lovers, anyone who has ever briefly considered placing Lego in someone’s shoe, and 50 Cent - he'll love this.
