Gigs, streams and tours
Matt Hoss has changed. Years ago, he was young, punk and slept mostly in his car. Now he has a competitively priced mortgage in a lovely neighbourhood. When did things start going so right for Matt?
Twinge 2022 brings together artists and streamers on Twitch. Our performers will be online back-to-back for the three day online festival.
I am performing at Kendal Calling, as I’m recording a Castival episode Live! We’re on the Soapbox Stage at 1pm with my lovely guest Phil Ellis.
This is a hilarious way to start your weekend. Come along us to see what Phil has in store for his perfect festival.
I'm very excited to perform Hossanova.
If you're a London Hoss Fan OR you love positive stand-up comedy about the end of the world, get your ticket! My second time at the New Wimbledon Theatre, can't wait to be back.
Matt Hoss is a touring stand-up comedian, podcaster & broadcaster. He is live streaming all of his favourite games with his comedy pals. Matt loves light-hearted, congenial chats, but also takes the games too seriously. A joyous over-competitiveness mixed with warm, insightful banter #AlanParTwitch

COMMON PEOPLE (AGAIN) - JANET GARNER & PAUL COX
Janet Garner and Paul Cox are ordinary, common people and very happy with it.They aren’t trying to educate anyone, teach them where they are going wrong or how they should think and if they were it would be dangerous to listen. All they want is to take your mind off the world and enjoy an hour of belly laughs.
This is what happens when comedy comes out of the council estate, so come and have a laugh if you think you're hard enough.

JULIE GRADY THOMAS: BAD PANCAKE
Julie's work-in-progress is about mistakes & pancakes!!* The first pancake in every batch always comes out BAD. You'd never serve that pancake to anyone! That pancake is a mistake - and a metaphor - because 10 years ago, I made a HUGE mistake and I just realized I haven't forgiven myself for it. How could this happen?! So in the name of forgiveness & friendship, you are cordially invited to a ridiculous evening. Let's share some mistakes, play some games, tell some fucked up stories & become best friends.

Welcome to the final Toys In The Attic. Canterbury's long-running Stand-up comedy club. We are going out with a big with two amazing previews by two legendary comedians: Tiernan Douieb with "Miserably Happy" and Archie Maddocks ' "IlluminArchie".
They are doing their Edinburgh Fringe previews - so you can see an early draft of their show for incredibly cheap (£3 a ticket for two shows). Absolute bargain! (In Edinburgh, price of a normal ticket is about £15 per show). This is all taking place at The Jolly Sailor on 15th June at 7.30pm sharp. Don't miss out.
About the show and acts:
Tiernan Douieb: Miserably Happy
‘Very friendly but fiercely political’ *(Time Out)* comedian Tiernan Douieb considers if ignorance is indeed bliss, and if so, surely he shouldn't know that. Tiernan tries to work out what anyone actually wants anymore, what being civilised actually means and whether or not he’ll ever be able to persuade his wife to like raw tomatoes. A new hour of political gags and nonsense musings from ‘Opinionated yet likeable’ (The Guardian) Douieb.
“It’s a really lovely show, really good. A really good show.” – Mark Thomas
“The show is funny, but more than that it’s interesting and, actually, a little bit life-affirming.” **** – Giggle Beats
‘gets the juxtaposition between heavy context and winning punchlines right when it is most needed‘ – Festmag
‘Opinionated yet likeable’ – The Guardian
‘Very funny but fiercely political’ – Time Out
Archie Maddocks: IlluminArchie
IlluminArchie* is the hilarious new show by living-legend, “super cool, super smart storyteller” (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard) Award winning comedian, Archie Maddocks. In the past, he's been described as “poignant, inventive and razor-sharp” (Broadway Baby) and having "a corking, almost cinematic story" (Chortle). Join Archie for his new show, which looks at, but is not limited to: how he wishes someone would take control of his life so he didn’t have to, his hope that there’s a secret society controlling his future, an accidentally racist girlfriend, a killer doughnut and an incident with a monkey.
*Facts about IlluminArchie -
1: When he was born, the nurse slapped herself and thanked him.
2: He can hear colours, orange pisses him off and don’t even start on purple.
3: He once farted with such power that it started the infamous East Anglian earthquake of 2007.
4: Darkness is afraid of him.
5: IlluminArchie doesn’t walk, the earth moves beneath him.
** None of these are true. This is why someone should take control of his life.
