Lady Garden and Idiots of Ants - Double header sketch show special
The Comedy Store / 8pm (£18 / £6)

Lady Garden
The hot new all-female sketch group, return to the Manchester Comedy Festival with their brand new show. A fast-paced, daring and surreal hour of comedy from six slightly disturbed young women. Winners of the inaugral LOL! Manchester new act award.
“One of the funniest, clever & sexy new sketch groups around” Time Out
“Excellent comic writing and comedy acting” Chortle

Idiots of Ants
Renowned for their off-kilter take on the world around them, Idiots of Ants have taken the comedy world by storm, having amassed millions of hits online with the most viewed BBC3 comedy clip on YouTube.
‘Very, very funny’ Evening Standard
'Very slick and very funny...marvellous' Time Out



Richard Herring - Hitler Moustache
The Frog and Bucket / 8.15pm (£9 / £8)
Reclaiming Chaplin’s moustache for comedy, Herring muses on iconography, whether racists are closer than Liberals to believing that all people are the same and why an innocent square inch of facial hair has taken the blame for Nazism.
Winner of the LOL! Manchester Best Touring show award
“He’ll be remembered as the best comic of his generation mastering every comedic art form” GQ



XS Malarkey Comedy Club
XS Malarkey @ Remedy / 8.30pm (£5 / £2)
MC Toby Hadoke presents: Mick Ferry, Jonathan Paylor, Martin Tapley & Red Redmond



Michael McIntyre
MEN Arena / 8pm (£30)
Star of the fastest selling debut stand-up dvd of all time, Michael McIntyre’s brilliantly engaging delivery and effortless rapport with the audience have led to him to be hailed, as the best new stand up to emerge in a decade.
“The man is, quite simply, top-to-toe hilarious” ***** Daily Telegraph



Al Pitcher’s Picture Show
The Dancehouse / 8pm (£12 / £10)
Every day we see things we’ve never seen before, things that strike us as odd or beautiful. Not Al Pitcher. His mind is constantly twisting, flipping and distorting what he sees, igniting the mundane, into a truly unique and hilarious one-off show.
