SUMMARY:Sandro Ford (Sheffield Plate)
DESCRIPTION:Stand-up comedian Sandro Ford is heading out on his first ever UK and Ireland tour\, and it’s a big one. Titled Lager Than Life\, this debut run brings Sandro’s unmistakable voice\, sharp observations\, and pub-bred storytelling to stages across the country. \nCo-Host of the smash hit Problematic Pub Podcast and as seen on Have A Word\, Dead Men Talking\, and Hot Water Green Room\, Sandro has quickly made a name for himself as a comic who tells it how it is. His comedy is rooted in real life\, growing up\, getting older\, bad decisions\, worse hangovers\, and the sort of characters you only ever meet in or around a pub. Honest\, self-aware\, and unapologetically funny\, his material feels lived-in and instantly relatable. \nLager Than Life is a celebration of nights that spiral\, mates who never change\, and the quiet chaos of everyday British life. Sandro’s relaxed delivery and natural crowd connection allow his punchlines to land effortlessly\, turning familiar situations into moments of pure comedy. One minute he’s dissecting modern masculinity\, the next he’s deep into a story that probably should’ve stayed off record — but you’re glad it\ndidn’t. \nThis tour marks the next step for a comic firmly on the rise\, bringing his most personal and hard-hitting material yet to live audiences. Whether you’ve followed his podcast appearances or are discovering him for the first time\, expect big laughs\, brutal honesty\, and stories that hit close to home. \nSo get a drink in\, find your seat\, and brace yourself. With Sandro Ford\, it’s always Down the Hatch. Lovelyyy

SUMMARY:Allyson June Smith (Sheffield Plate)
DESCRIPTION:In a world that’s imploding\, an hour in the company of Allyson June Smith is the only antidote you’ll ever need.\n\nFresh off supporting Jen Brister at The Crucible\, Allyson June Smith performs “Allyson Wonderland” at Sheffield Plate on Friday 2nd October 2026.\n\nBrilliantly witty and wonderfully warm\, she’ll guide you through her own personal Wonderland\, down the rabbit hole of family foibles and the travelling tales of a people pleasing\, polite but vicious Canadian. So if you hate infectious joy and razor sharp jokes\, definitely don’t come. Otherwise\, she’ll see you there!\n\n“Allyson is a hilarious charisma bomb!” Jen Brister\n\nAllyson…had crowds in every city in such fits of hysterics that I was forced to question my career choices”. Katherine Ryan\n\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nina Gilligan (Sheffield Plate)
DESCRIPTION:The kids have gone\, the house is quiet\, and the spare bedroom has become a land grab.\n\nFreedom is scary\, and Nina is quietly losing her mind while pretending everything is absolutely fine… until it isn’t. After a lemoncake incident\, Nina is banned from using heavy machinery. What follows is flirting with priests\, turning to witchcraft and recreational substances — and the realisation that empty nesting is less gentle clearing and more violent reinventing.\n\nWarm\, sharp and self-aware\, Nina Gilligan is back with a hilarious\, unfiltered celebration of what it means to be a mature woman — standing in the wreckage of self-discovery and hoping there is a recipe that works.\n\nIt’s not a breakdown. It’s a lemoncake moment.\n\nComedians’ Comedian 2025\nMercury Award Winner\nChortle Club Comic
