Nigerian standup Bamgboye took the best newcomer award at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Swings and Roundabouts her debut show which charted her move to the UK in her twenties, and showcased her often disorientating mastery of accents.

Superstar comic Gilligan has never forgotten about Greewich’s beloved Up the Creek comedy club: even when in the middle of an arena tour, he still records his podcast there. And now he’s back for a lengthy stint of work in progress shows. They’re low key enough that at time of writing, there’s still decent availability across the run.
