About the show

Stand Up For The Weekend is our weekly flagship comedy show from The Comedy Box, featuring top circuit headliners and guest acts plus incredibly funny and engaging comperes who host the show.
Stand Up For The Weekend with Stuart Goldsmith featuring Micky Overman plus compere Jack Campbell
Headliner: STUART GOLDSMITH
Stuart Goldsmith is an internationally award-winning comedian, writer, podcaster and host. With a reputation for smart, accessible stand-up, Stuart’s enthusiasm and natural charm conceal a quick wit and fearlessness honed by his early career as a street performer. Surprisingly candid about his exploits, sexploits and textploits, Stuart likes to get his teeth into love, romance and the downside of getting what you want.
"A charming, expert stand-up" Sunday Times
In recent years, Stuart is probably better known as the "climate comedian" where he exposes the inevitable hyprocrisies in confronting the challenges facing all humans living in a more sustainable society. Recycling stories have never been funnier - that's stories about recycling not Stuart digging out the old routines, by the way! So whether you're frozen in fear or glued to the road, come and get unstuck as Stuart explores how to hold hope in your heart despite absolutely everything.
"He infuses the material with a sly wit and underplayed sharpness, not to mention eloquent writing. This is smooth, smart and absorbing stand-up." Chortle

Featuring

Stuart Goldsmith

Stuart Goldsmith appearing at this event
Whether cheering up a distressed child, helping prevent a riot, or genuinely saving another human's actual life, Stuart Goldsmith is excellent in a crisis. When the chips aren't down however, it's a very different story... Exhilarating stand-up about embracing anxiety, conquering indecision, and getting tasered. 'Intriguing and invigorating' (The Scotsman) 'Marries pitch-perfect audience repartee with cleverly woven tales of the everyday' (The Independent) 'A fine jokesmith' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard) 'Probably one of the most likeable acts on the circuit' (Metro) 'A pitch-perfect performance, every nuance carefully calculated for maximum impact… a set rich with wordplay' (Chortle).

Micky Overman

Micky Overman appearing at this event
Originally hailing from Amsterdam and having trained in Canada gives Micky uncompromising Dutch courage combined with a Canadian sensibility and charm. She is one of most promising and exciting acts to hit the circuit in years. As a result she has been nominated for Chortle Best newcomer 2018. A bedrock of surgically sharp writing combined with a cool and confident delivery make her an exceptional comedian. Her material moves quickly from devastating honesty, to brutal whimsy, to on-point social observations. She already has the aura of a successful comic well beyond her years.
