Live at the Marlowe

Our hugely popular night of live comedy is back, featuring some of the biggest stars of the stand-up circuit.

Headlining is Nina Conti, hot on the heels of the world premiere of her narrative film directorial debut, Sunlight. As seen on QI, The John Bishop Show and Chris O’Dowd’s Family Tree, Nina is an award-winning comedian and ventriloquist.

Our host for the evening is Esther Manito, who began her stand-up career in 2016 while on maternity leave from teaching. In her first year, she gained recognition by being heard on the BBC Radio 4 New Comedy Awards, and has since been seen on Live at the Apollo, ITV’s Stand Up Sketch Show, Hypothetical, and Comedy Central Live.

Also on the bill is Hull-born comedian, actor and writer Amy Gledhill. Winner of Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024 Best Show, Amy has featured on The Jonathan Ross Show, The One Show, Pointless Celebrities, and The Stand Up Sketch Show.

Completing the line-up is Elis James, a stand-up comedian, actor, and broadcaster best known for his hit BBC Sounds podcast Elis James and John Robins. A regular voice across radio and podcasts, Elis has hosted BBC’s Feast of Football and The Socially Distant Sports Bar, and fronts the comedy–history series Oh What a Time.
