Start your morning with Mat (BBC Radio 4, Radio Scotland, Komedia New Comedian 2025 semi-finalist) who’s thrown his savings at the Edinburgh fringe, instead of going on holiday to Japan. He would've loved that. The Middle is a dry, witty (early morning) look at almost middle age, middle seats, middle children, being a bad bisexual and hoping it's not too late to learn to backflip. And no, it's not too early for a show. Come with coffee, stay for the stand-up. 'Precise, direct and unwavering' (MumbleComedy.net).
