Edinburgh Previews – Tom Stade & Gareth Mutch

8:00PM, Thursday, July 04, 2024

Venue: Hipp @ The Hullabaloo

Two of the best shows that are likely to be on display in Edinburgh from the following week travel to Darlington to hone their carefully crafted shows. It’s a delight to welcome TOM STADE and GARETH MUTCH with their brand new material shows. TOM STADE: RISKY BUSINESS Tom’s funny and today’s funny don’t always see eye to eye, but that’s cool; it’s not Tom’s way to follow the herd. He much prefers to take the path less travelled (some smart guy once said that). Join this independent spirit and irrepressible force of nature, as he airdrops his ingenious and unflinching comedy into this ever-changing minefield. It’s a risky business navigating the tightrope of today’s times but Tom’s approaching it with his usual gusto. Without risk there is no reward. "STAND UP ELITE”…Chortle “SLICK, INTELLIGENT, SPARKLING CHARM”…Independent “UNMISSABLE”…Edinburgh Evening News GARETH MUTCH: MODERN MAN Gareth’s trying to be a modern man, but it isn’t easy. His wife’s starting to look at him differently; wondering if she even married a man at all. He’s still learning how to drive (even struggling with the theory) - and although he’s climbing the property ladder, he’s glad his wife’s there to foot it. Owning a home ain’t easy either; he doesn’t have the correct tools when things go wrong - let alone a toolbox. An effortlessly funny modern man with an hour of brilliantly observed stand-up. ‘BEST SHOW’ (LONGLIST) - (ISH) Comedy Awards 2023 --- Ages 16+
