Double preview: Metroland & Tamsyn Kelly

Two work in progress shows from two of our favourite acts for a lovely summer's afternoon. Come on down! Tamsyn Kelly: Rat's Ass (Work in Progress) Tamsyn made the most money she's ever made last year. What's the figure? Let's say it's not bad for a girl whose childhood pet was a second-hand rat. How did she do it? Ermm. Okay. The thing is. You're not gonna like this... A show about class, doing things you don't want to do, and $$$. Seen/heard on HBO, ITV2, Comedy Central, BBC One, BBC Three, BBC Radio 4. Winner: Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best in Class 2022. Rolling Stone's must-see comedy shows 2025.  'Full of more soul than you could ever dream of' **** (Herald).   Metroland: As Seen On TV (Work in Progress) Metroland Comedy are heading to Manchester for A Lovely Time! Known for their sharp, surreal writing and wildly inventive characters, Metroland are one of the most talked-about new acts in British comedy. Included in both The Guardian and Rolling Stone's top picks of Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and recently nominated for Best Sketch Show and Best Newcomer at the 2025 Chortle Awards, Metroland are quickly becoming a must-watch name on the UK comedy scene. "Metroland make you angry that no one told you about them before... Get them on the telly now." - Rolling Stone "Sharply surreal writing, natural funny bones." - Chortle **** "The show truly shines." - Broadway World "It's f*cking brilliant." - Sam Fender
