About this Event

Tall Tales - Hilarious sketches improvised by a supergroup of improvisers, all inspired by stories and new material from this month's guest - Ariel Hebditch
Winner of the Jason Manford Award for Best Newcomer at the Women in Comedy Festival 2024, Ariel Hebditch has taken the Manchester comedy circuit by storm. Her debut one-woman show ‘Skeleton Out of the Closet’ toured the UK last year, she has a podcast with her brother about the hit television show LOST, she’s part of the spectacularly silly comedy troupe Spruce Moose performing their original plays at the Edinburgh Fringe every summer, and she’s definitely not a vampire.
Your resident asexual punk takes you on a chaotic, high-energy ride on stage, promising you queer joy and the decidedly-more-hard-to-come-by gothic joy, and she cannot stress this enough, she is absolutely not a vampire.
‘Spruce Moose Comedy deserve to be on everyone's lips' - (The Wee Review, ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆).
'Hebditch rivalled television comedy in poise and execution, and outpaced it in creativity' - (Varsity, ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆).
PLUS
Skunkhaus - An Improvised Movie - Join us for an unforgettable hour of laughter and creativity as we Improvise a full story based on your life! In this unique improv show, we invite an audience member to share something they’re excited about or dreading and Skunkhaus will weave together a tale, featuring puns and chaos ending in a coherent story that’s as likely to come true as your last tea leaf reading . Will it be a rom-com, horror, sci-fi or western? Come watch our talented ensemble transform those ideas into a live story right before your eyes!

If you like Comedy Bang Bang, Dropout, or Shoot From The Hip - you'll love our shows!
