Count Dykula
From the creators of LESBIAN SPACE CRIME and PANSEXUAL PREGNANT PIRACY comes this bone-chillingly hilarious riot and gay goth’s wet dream
Butch loner Count Dykula loves her life, even though she’s technically dead. Her gothic castle slaps and she gets to prey upon humans who stray behind the big Asda.
But trouble looms when cultural powerhouse Scare Universi-ty starts preaching “the right way to be a monster”, and the ultra-femme busty bloodsuckers being presented as the per-fect vampire girlies are a far cry from the Count.
With her masculine pride hanging on by a cheap carabiner, she sets out to tear down Scare U’s human-normative re-gime. After all, she loves a garlic naan and can only turn into a bat after a few beers.
With more fake blood, fake boobs, and bats (real) than ever before, COUNT DYKULA is Airlock Theatre’s third big queer musical extravaganza. From the creators of LESBIAN SPACE CRIME and PANSEXUAL PREGNANT PIRACY comes this bone-chillingly hilarious riot and gay goth’s wet dream.

Danny Bhoy: Dear World…
Fresh from a completely sold out run at the Edinburgh Festival.
This is the sequel to my 2014 show ‘Dear Epson…’ My favourite ever show. It’s a hybrid of stand up and theatre, but really that just means I get to sit down for bits of it.

Demi Adejuyigbe is Going To Do One (1) Backflip
Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024 | Best Newcomer Nominee
Demi Adejuyigbe is a writer, comedian, filmmaker, and – inexplicably – a musician best known for his former podcasts, Punch Up The Jam and Gilmore Guys, as well as his popular September 21st video series, and his roles as a writer/producer on shows like NBC's The Good Place, Peacock's The Amber Ruffin Show, Netflix's NEON, and Apple TV's Strange Planet. He has never had anything to do with Spider-Man or Star Wars but he's hoping that someone loosely skimming this bio will now think that he did.
Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going To Do One (1) Backflip is a very special comedy show featuring original comedic songs, presentations, bits, and one (1) single backflip performed by an aging, sedentary man who had to stand up and crack his knees in the middle of writing this.

Jordan Brookes: Fontanelle
Definitely a musical
The world is obsessed with turning everything into entertainment, finding new stories to tell in a feverish desire to ensure every moment in human history has been thrown onto the bonfire of spectacle.
Jordan Brookes has taken a different approach, and turned back towards one of the original moneymaker tragedies in the biz - the Titanic.
Convinced there's something previously undiscovered, he's gone on an obsessive deep dive to prove there's life in the old ship yet, and by extension, him.
Can he find something original to say about the most well-worn topic of all time?
Or will he have to make something up?
A full-blown (sort of) musical spectacular featuring a star-studded (sort of) cast from the Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2019

Main Character Energy
This is Temi’s show. It’s all about her. Not you. Her.
Temi got veeeery good at being everybody’s sassy best friend. Growing up a black girl in a white world shunts you into playing a side character in your own life. But now she’s stepping into her Main Character Energy and it’s your privi-lege, your honour, your pre-eminent pleasure to give her all the attention she deserves. As self-aware as it is self-indulgent, this show is a high-energy cocktail of comedy, au-dience interaction and cabaret. An excuse to show Soho how radiant Temi is.

Main Character Energy: Karaoke Kabaret
A night of People of Colour singing Karaoke, hosted by Temi Wilkey. There are few things Temi Wilkey is more passionate about than Karaoke.
Nothing says Main Character Energy like choosing a song you love and sharing it with others, no matter how good you are at singing. Temi is inviting performers of colour and people of colour in the audience to take up space with her onstage by singing a song. It’s not about polish and all about com-mitment, this is Karaoke after all! This will be a space for self-indulgence, POC community-building and, above all, joy.
There’s nothing like singing with a room full of people and the evening’s host will definitely be encouraging the audi-ence to sing along.

Or What’s Left Of Us
Multi award-winning 'magnificent Fringe legends' (Time Out) Sh!t Theatre are back! And we're totally fine! Actually all things considered, we're OK. Feeling alright. Thriving, even?

A swift 60 minutes of classic folk followed by a trip downstairs to the bar and then a singaround. Because we need a drink, don't we? But we're doing OK.

Santi & Naz
Santi and Naz are bestest-best friends living in a village in pre-partition India. One Sikh, one Muslim; they have little understanding of how religion will divide them.
As partition draws closer, the girls remain oblivious to the spreading social unrest and violence. They’re too busy stealing books, swimming in the lake and spying on Rahul (the local hottie). When Naz is betrothed to a tailor from the soon-to-be capital of Pakistan the threat of separation for the young women looms on the horizon. Bound by their love for each other we learn how far they will go to avoid the inevitable.
Santi & Naz explores female friendship, coming of age, and coming out set against the backdrop of a country soon to be changed forever.
