SUMMARY:Barry Castagnola (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:Fresh from supporting Greg Davies on his ‘Full Fat Legend’ tour\, Barry brings his own show to The Steamworks\n\nHaving become a father quite late in life\, in all honestly\, he’s just delighted to be away for a few days to get some good sleep (although he won’t be telling his partner that and he hopes she won’t read this. Why would she? She’s not going to be booking tickets to see him in Sheffield).\n\nEmbarrassingly\, he’s got a racist dog\, so a break from constantly apologising in the local park is also a bonus.\n\nOh\, and he’s furious his parents chose the name Barry.\n\nExpect stories about these and other awkward situations in a show packed with laughs.\n\nHe’d like to point out that he wrote the above (and this) and to be honest\, he finds it a bit weird to be writing in the third person. He also thinks it’s presumptuous to say his show is packed with laughs (even though he’s very confident it will be). Why don’t you be the judge and come along? He’d also like to clarify that the quotes below weren’t written by him but by actual reviewers (and an endorsement from Greg Davies). And he’d like to thank you for the time you’ve spent reading this and he hopes to see you on the 23rd September.\n\n“Astonishingly funny”  ★★★★★ The List\n“Perfect” ★★★★★  3 weeks \n“Hugely entertaining” ★★★★ Chortle\n“A confident\, likeable comic\, it’s his self-deprecating bemusement that provides the most hilarity.” ★★★★ Metro\n“His charm and willingness to make himself look ridiculous carry him through the trickiest of subject matter.” ★★★★ Edfest\n“By far the funniest Barry I know (since my uncle died)” Greg Davies

SUMMARY:Laura Smyth (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:What if all your dreams come true and you’ve still got the hump? Laura Smyth has had a meteoric rise in comedy! Her debut tour ‘Living My Best Life’ sold out up and down the country; she has supported Jack Whitehall\, Michelle de Swarte\, Alan Davies\, and Jason Manford and appeared on multiple panel shows\, QI\, Would I Lie To You\, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Live at The Apollo TWICE! \nShe’s even beaten cancer; she’s done all the alternative healing shit you could shake a stick at – and she still thinks everyone’s a d**khead. It can’t just be her\, can it? Like her last tour\, Laura will cover all of her everyday ever-changing life with truth\, warmth\, and hilarity. Maybe she needs more sleep or maybe she was just born aggy.

SUMMARY:Jason Byrne (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:Jason Byrne is back and “Byrning” brighter than ever\, celebrating 30 glorious years of stand-up with his brand-new show\, 30 Years Byrning. \nByrne delivers a riotous night of high-energy storytelling\, surreal tangents and unstoppable laughter. From razor-sharp observations to\ngloriously unhinged audience interaction\, brave improvisation\, that has made Jason a festival favourite for three decades. \nThis anniversary special is a hilarious return to props and stunts of the past decades\, a fearless leap forward and a masterclass in pure comic mayhem. \nDo not blow it by missing this show\, get tickets early\, it makes sense.

SUMMARY:Paddy Young (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning stand-up and star of Saturday Night Live UK heads out on tour with a brand new show.  \nYou’re born alone\, you die alone. That’s true enough. But what happened to that part in the middle? \nBig Year for Pad. SNL (UK\, but still a big deal)\, a bunch of awards (hate bringing them up)\, and plenty of bit-parts to boot.  But what’s it all about?   \nI’ve fallen in love more times than you’ve had hot dinners and I’ve fumbled every single one of them. If you think I’ve learnt my lesson you couldn’t be wronger. I’m telling you\, some of these baddies have got me winning staring competitions with the ceiling. But I don’t even think about that shit anymore.  \nSome of my ideas are so funny that they scare me\, so GOD knows how you lot are gonna feel!! \nAs seen on: Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping\, Everyone Else Burns\, and his own stand-up special Hungry. Horny. Scared. \n“Young is surely on the road to stardom”  ★★★★★ Rolling Stone \n“One of British comedy’s most intriguing new voices” ★★★★ The Independent \n“Bursting with energy and talent\, and has the audience screaming with laughter until the end” ★★★★ Scotsman \n”Wildly funny” ★★★★ Chortle \n”A high-energy hour that’s bursting its buttons with jokes” ★★★★ Fest \n“Genuinely hilarious punchlines… Perfectly timed joke delivery” ★★★★ Wee Review \n“Quick on his feet\, likeable and very funny” ★★★★ Beyond The Joke

SUMMARY:Jen Brister (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:Following a sold out show at the Crucible Jen brings her hit show back to Sheffield. \nJen Brister is Reactive – or so she’s been told. Apparently you don’t have to respond to every little thing around you. Finding herself in a constant state of exacerbation at the state of the world and people in general\, Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest… \nJen is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian and writer\, as seen on BBC’s Live at the Apollo\, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order\, QI and Mock The Week. Following a sold out 2022 tour\, Jen is back on the road with her highly anticipated new show. \n“Furiously Funny” – The Guardian \n“Her energy is explosive. Her use of space and delivery\, mesmerising” – The Sunday Times \n \n
