Come and join us for the opening show at Kings Heath Comedy Festival 2025!
This year we're launching Kings Heath Comedy Festival with a preview show from one of our favourite headliners - Rachel Fairburn (Live at the Apollo, All Killa No Filla) with brand new material and characters.
"Very much the rock'n'roll star of British comedy" - Rolling stone
With support from the brilliant Kwame Asante, and hosted by the fabulous Aaron Twitchen.
Aaron Twitchen: a stand up, actor and circus aerialist. His debut book, Homo History, was an Amazon top 10 bestseller in 2024.
He is the UK's leading Sugababes expert and his podcast on the topic went top 20 in 5 countries (more than the Sugababes themselves recently).
"Twitchen is an assured stand-up and navigates both his material and his venue with style....He is a flexible improviser, in tune with the spirit of live comedy" - BroadwayBaby
Kwame Asante: Kwame uses his undeniable charisma and on stage presence to play against audience’s expectations, which makes his comedy fresh, intelligent and most importantly funny.
“Working as an A&E doctor affords Kwame a raft of amusing tales... Enlightening” - ★★★★ Chortle
Doors 7pm / show 7.30pm
