Fresh from The Jungle, Gogglebox favourite and rising star Babatunde Aléshé brings his new show Babahood to Kent. Having been crowned the most viewed British comedian of all time on TikTok, world-famous prankster Simon Brodkin brings his outrageous show Screwed Up to the stage.
Throughout the spring season, Gulbenkian Arts Centre will also be hosting its monthly Funny Rabbit Comedy Club. Featuring comedians Scott Bennett and Joe Sutherland in April and Jonny Awsum and Stephanie Laing in May, the show promises to be a laugh-a-minute evening of hilarity.
