A surreal split bill stand-up show with two of London's weirdest and most exciting queer voices – Dick Denham, 'a joy to watch' (Stephen Bailey) and James Murphy, 'comically off-kilter' (Chortle.co.uk). Dick will offer his offbeat observations on being genderqueer in a heteronormative world, ageing and mental health. James will give a unique insight into life as a 6’ 8” gay man with fiery absurdity, while chewing on modern British life. Dick Denham was the LGBTQ+ New Act Runner-Up 2022, whilst James Murphy won the British Comedy Guide’s Performance Award 2022.
