Stewart Lee is “the world’s greatest living stand-up” according to The Times, “the world’s second greatest living stand-up”, according to The Daily Telegraph, and an “alleged comedian”, according to Sarah Vine in The Daily Mail. He offers some material from 1989, followed by whatever he has ready as he works towards his new 2025 show Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf.
Josie returns to End of the Road bringing her unique brand of warmth and optimism against the backdrop of challenging times.

Join the self-described ‘northern powerhouse’ for a set of buzzy, anecdote-led routines about what it’s like to be in the (sub)prime of your life. Paddy is an upbeat presence, as seen in his best newcomer-nommed Fringe debut Hungry, Horny, Scared, and often takes his energy directly from the audience. While subject matter can often dip into the bleak it’s done so with a tongue firmly in cheek.

A master of offbeat and physical comedy, Phil’s comedy output has been well-lauded, from winning the Edinburgh Comedy Award’s panel prize in 2014 to receiving a nomination for the main award in 2023. Outside of stand-up Phil can be heard on his own BBC Radio 4 sitcom Phil Ellis is Trying which was nominated for a BBC Audio Award in 2019.
‘The energy that Ellis creates in the room is so palpably unpredictable, it’s incredible to think that he’s actually in control the entire time.’ ★★★★★ Broadway Baby

Tom and Ben from Pappys return to MC Sunday afternoon’s comedy following a joyously wayward afternoon back in 2022. The result was lots of fun, games, and a face-off between Ben and an audience member, who inevitably became his nemesis. Expect “tops-off” and Tom to lose his voice, if he hasn’t already done so before arrival.
“A masterpiece of silliness.” ★★★★★ The Guardian
