An evening of comedy cabaret chaos in the very intimate surroundings of the Royal Pug, as part of this years bumper Leamington Spa Comedy Festival.

Crafting, puns, folk music, discos divas, characters and comedy! Phew.

A truly bonkers yet brilliant night of alternative stand up comedy. Featuring David Eagle, Gwen, Katie Pritchard, Crafting with Carol and Roger Swift!

Do note - line-up is subject to change

Katie Pritchard

Get ready for some high-octane musical comedy fun from carnage-wielding, mayhem-manifesting, human disco ball: Katie Pritchard. Expect incredible (very hand-made) costumes, chaos, and some pumping choons in a high-octane romp through Katie’s synapses; enjoy observational comedy from a completely different angle.

Rachel Baker As Gwen

Hi, Gwen here, I'm out of prison and, no, I don't have any more bacon and egg flavoured vapes for sale! Gwen was a finalist in the Sketch Off Awards 2025 and the winner of the Luke Rollason Character Bursary. Rachel Baker is a Big Value Act 2026, Funny Women Finalist and Birmingham Breaking Talent nominee. As heard on BBC Radio 4.

Roger Swift

Roger Swift is a prop comedian who performs one-liners and visual puns at a furious pace. No stories, no observational comedy, just groan-worthy, zany madness that’ll force you into submission. Think Tim Vine meets Lee Evans. UK Pun finalist and writer of one of Dave’s Best Jokes of the Fringe
