Nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2017 & described by The Guardian as ‘wildly entertaining stand-up that demolishes the conventions of comedy’ see this unique show by Brookes.

Running from: Thu 9 - Sat 25 Nov.

In August 2015 Jordan’s Nanna, Gwendoline Martha Brookes, passed away. She was 95. This show is a genuine attempt to pay tribute to her. That can’t be the whole thing, can it? I thought Jordan Brookes did absurdist stuff? Like, bits that go on for ages and horrible physical stuff, daft faces, etc? Is he just going to talk about his Nan for an hour? Surely not.

Jordan is a rising star of the comedy circuit who mixes daring absurdism with audacious physicality to huge effect. This show was a word-of-mouth hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it was adored by fellow comedians, audiences and critics alike.
