Best Comedy & Stand-up This Autumn

in Torquay

Katherine Ryan at Princess Theatre

Katherine Ryan

Since moving to the UK in 2008, Katherine Ryan has risen to become one of the country's most recognisable comedians. Cutting her teeth on all the usual panel shows, including Mock The Week, Taskmaster et al, she has proven her live chops in two hit specials, In Trouble and The Glitter Room, created and starred in her own Netflix show, The Duchess. Now heading out her fourth tour, Battleaxe catch this razor-sharp modern comedy icon when she brings the laughs to you!

Russell Kane at Princess Theatre

Russell Kane

Award-winning British comedian, actor, presenter, and writer Russel Kane is back on the road, announcing his 2024/25 Hyperactive' tour. With untouchable wit and a whole arsenal of gags, this string of dates will surely be as uproarious as his previous The Essex Variant' tour which garnered much critical acclaim.

Rhod Gilbert at Princess Theatre

Rhod Gilbert

Hailed as one of the UK's leading stand up talents, Welsh funnyman Rhod Gilbert answered his comedy calling in 2002, deciding to give up his job as a market researcher and take a stand-up comedy course. That same year he made the finals at the Edinburgh Fringe's So You Think You're Funny competition and a whirlwind of newcomer awards followed. In 2005 he won the Chortle Award for Best Breakthrough Act and released his first-ever show 1984 - a riotous depiction of growing up in the fictional Welsh town of Llanbobl.
