Comedy in the wild. A fast-moving collection of work-in-progress sets where comedians bravely road test brand-new jokes, questionable ideas and material that may or may not make the cut. Expect big laughs, naughty stories, spontaneous moments and the thrill of seeing comedy take shape in real time. With a rotating line-up, every show is different and you never quite know what you're going to get – except funny people taking creative risks in a stunning venue. Come be part of the mess and let's WIP things up!
