Expect each act to take you to a completely different place, while host, Sony and Radio Academy Award nominated podcaster, storyteller and writer, Dave Pickering, guides you through the cathartic twists and turns.
What is Stand Up Tragedy?
It "takes in everything from music to comedy and is characterised by an emphasis on truth"
The Independent
An "entertaining bunch of melancholic oddballs"
The London Word
Stand Up Tragedy aims to make audiences laugh until they cry and cry until they laugh. It's a monthly live show and podcast where people stand up and tell tragedy. We make you sad; we make you think; we make you smile. The night ends, not with a whimper, not with a bang, but with a cathartic sing-a-long.
