Queer Joy and Jokes

Join us for a night to celebrate queer joy with Rosie Jones, Ben Treloar, Sam Nicoresti and MD Andrew White. 

MC - Andrew White

With “charisma to burn and an eye for sharp punchlines” (British Comedy Guide), Andrew White is an in-demand comedian, writer and radio host who has built a strong reputation as a name to look out for.

Andrew works for all the top clubs and festivals in the UK and is also a popular choice as a support act when he’s not touring his own work, opening for the likes of Catherine Bohart, Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Jason Manford. His last hit show, Young, Gay and Third Thing, travelled all over the UK picking up critical acclaim, sell out performances and even an award nomination for BEST SHOW at the 2025 Leicester Comedy Festival.

**** "A relevant and witty comedian" (Chortle)
"Go see him, he’s sublime” (Maisie Adam)
"Outrageously Funny” (Broadway World)

Opening Act - Sam Nicoresti

Sam broke into standup after winning Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year in 2021. Since then she has released her highly-acclaimed debut art-comedy special Wokeflake, and was nominated for Best Compere at the Chortle Awards 2024. Her second show Baby Doomer was nominated for Best Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2025 before going on to win the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show at that year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

‘One of the sharpest, funniest, most exciting hours of comedy’

The List

Middle - Ben Treloar

Having just won Cornish Comedian of the Year 2023 and shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Awards, Ben is definitely one to watch. With fantastic self-deprecating punchlines and quick crowdwork, it’s easy to see why he’s getting booked across the south-west. 

“Great jokes and great hair” – Bobby Mair

“Bloody funny” – Jessica Fostekew

"Clever and quick witted, Ben's straight faced persona leaves audiences in stitches" - Karma Comedy

"Like a young Adam Sandler, if he'd carried on standup and was good." - The Peoples Comedy

Headliner - Rosie Jones

Rosie Jones is a household name in British comedy, and she’s striving for national treasure status. Alongside her award-winning stand-up, Rosie is a familiar face on UK television – she’s fronted her own Comedy Central series Out of Order, starred in Channel 4’s hard-hitting documentary Am I A R*tard, and led two travel series, Mission: Accessible and the BAFTA-nominated Trip Hazard. She is creator and star of C4’s 2025 comedy-drama Pushers, a 6-part series based on Rosie’s original short Disability Benefits. Her acting credits span primetime dramas such as Silent Witness, Casualty and Call the Midwife, and she has also appeared as herself on Taskmaster, Live at the Apollo, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Last Leg and many more. 

‘Charm, smut, irony and laughs in equal measure’ 

Guardian

‘Oozes cheeky charm and smutty wit in equal measure ‘ 

Evening Standard

‘National treasure status must surely be on its way. This hour is a joy and easily her best show yet’
