Here's a brand new show from Adam that we recorded in the BFI in London earlier in the year. It's hilarious. It was one of those nights where we had such a good time we couldn't wait to share it with you all. The show was a best-of compilation of Adam's favourite routines from the past few years. In it, he talks about real life struggles that we can all relate to - working from home whilst trying to avoid the internet. Luckily for us he doesn't manage to keep away from it for too long, as we get to see his search history looking at the work of some beloved performers together with the views of the YouTube commentary community. When relaxing away from the internet we are also treated to a selection of videos that Adam has made that give a pretty good insight into his home life. He even says 'my wife' in a robot voice.

His live stand up show recorded for DVD by Go Faster Stripe in Cardiff in late 2014.
An entirely improvised comedy play, with a cast who conjure up a 'lost' Jane Austen novel, based on nothing more than a title suggested by the audience.
Never one to take the easy option, Mark Thomas decided to go rambling in the Middle East and decided to walk the entire length of the Israeli Wall, crossing between the Israeli and Palestinian sides. This is the story of 350,000 settlers, a 750km wall, six arrests, one stoning, too much hummus and a simple question: Can you ever get away from it all with a good walk?
John-Luke Roberts works his way through the collapse of his long-term relationship but pretends it’s just a stupid comedy show.
John-Luke Roberts is too anxious to leave the house, so a figment from a nightmare called “The Monarch” has to perform his show for him. The Monarch doesn’t know how to perform a comedy show, but does it anyway. This is that show. An anxiety dream performed live on stage; or a comedy show about anxiety.
Jesus Christ - Son of God! Saviour of mankind! Superstar! Richard Herring - Son of Keith, a retired headmaster! Once saved a spider that had become trapped in his bath, only crushing three of its legs in the process! Hosted 10 episodes of a chatshow about poker on a satellite channel which subsequently closed down! At first sight they have little in common. Or do they? Join Rich as he answers this question, substantially reworking his first and favourite solo work, Christ on a Bike. Now ten years older than the Messiah when he died, has Herring achieved as much with his life?
A recording of a show called The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church, which Daniel Kitson toured for around six months in 2011, having written it initially for a run at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh in 2009. This film was recorded at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol on one night in 2011 and edited over two months in 2020.
"Oh Frig, I'm 50!" is the sequel to Herring's 2007 show "Oh F*ck, I'm 40!". Ten years on, he's more reflective and less hedonistic, poking fun at life's changes and his own ageing body. The show is both introspective and celebratory, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of his first Fringe appearance.
