Permitted Fruit Comedy with Sarah Keyworth

????London’s Juiciest Alternative Comedy Night ???? is rounding out the year with a stellar line-up of award winning, sketch performing, drag kinging, radio & TV accredited hilarity that promises to tickle your funny bones without ever punching you, our luscious punters, in the face. Every month we bring you something delectably different from the Alt Comedy Scene, whilst welcoming you into our fruit basket of frivolity: queer friendly, wheelchair accessible and velvet-lined to keep your peaches from bruising. So peel your grapes and take a gander at this FairTrade (uncertified) bounty.

ZOË TOMALIN
Whilst growing up on a small Scottish island, Zoë Tomalin once caught fleas from a dying crow. This is the kind of relatable story telling, shot through with cosmic dread, you can expect from this comedy writer (BBC’s NewsJack, Have I Got News For You & Succubus magazine) struggling under the oppression of being labelled a ‘kooky girl’.

????? "Side-splitting and shot through with very dark humour' – Bunbury Magazine.
???? “A great piece of alternative comedy” - The Skinny

BEAU JANGLES
Just a good ol’ 1940’s man, displaced in time, Man Up 2019 finalist Beau will croon you and make you laugh, whilst navigating the disorientating effect of being a pre-war New Orleans Jazz man relocated to the newly woke Old World.

SHELF
Comedy double act and lifelong friends, Rachel WD (“exhaustingly gay”) and Ruby Clyde (“bookish”) have honed their “winning hybrid of sketch show and standup” (EdFringe Review) over 4 years, picking up a Sketchfest Best New Act nomination and Funny Women 2019 Stage Award finale along the way.

Headliner: SARAH KEYWORTH
Fresh from proving that being funny and nice wins out over 90’s pop cred and reality TV stardom in E4's Celebrity Coach Trip, Sarah Keyworth is also winning at comedy. With a triptych of recent awards (Edinburgh Fringe Herald Angel 2018 & Pleasance Theatre Best Newcomer 2018 for Dark Horse, Chortle Awards Best Newcomer 2019) to prove her bona fides, Sarah will be performing her second one hour show Pacific at The SOHO Theatre in January 2020. Exploring gender, class and relationships with a dry style and sharply observed, slick gags, Sarah draws empathy as well as belly laughs from her audience. It’s no wonder Hannah Gadsby chose Sarah to open for her on the first night of her 2019 UK tour.
