Surrey

Surrey doesn’t always shout about its comedy scene, but perhaps it should. Over the coming months, theatres across the county are hosting a strong run of stand-up it’s comedy. From razor-sharp one-liners to big, confident headline acts, these are the shows worth locking into your diary now.

<a href="https://www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk/whats-on/mark-simmons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mark Simmons</a> ■ Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford ■ 12 Feb A master of the perfectly engineered one-liner. Blink and you’ll miss it. Blink twice and you’ll miss five more. Precision comedy at its finest.



<a href="https://www.epsomplayhouse.co.uk/shows/josh-james-doin-alright-tour" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Josh James</a> ■ Epsom Playhouse ■ 14 Feb A comedy newcomer, James guides audiences through the life of a ‘Essex Man’, the uniqueness of English culture and trying to do well for himself.



<a href="https://www.camberleytheatre.co.uk/events/omid-djalili-namaste" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Omid Djalili</a> ■ Camberley Theatre ■ 15 Feb Omid Djalili is back and pulling no punches. Namaste is a blisteringly funny takedown of modern life — politics, power and hypocrisy all firmly in his sights. Loud, fearless and gloriously unfiltered. Sensitivities optional.



<a href="https://trafalgartickets.com/g-live-guildford/en-GB/event/comedy/esther-manito-tickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Esther Manito</a> ■ G Live, Guildford ■ 13 Feb Manito’s Slagbomb is smart, self-aware and gleefully unpolished — the kind of comedy that says what everyone else is thinking, but louder and with better timing.



<a href="https://trafalgartickets.com/g-live-guildford/en-GB/event/comedy/jordan-gray-tickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Gray</a> ■ G Live, Guildford ■ 25 Feb Fearless, funny and impossible to ignore. Gray’s musical comedy is bold, sharp and brilliantly disruptive &#8211; not so much a gig as a full-tilt performance.

<a href="https://www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk/whats-on/bridget-christie-jacket-potato-pizza" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bridget Christie</a> ■ Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford ■ 28 Feb Christie brings her trademark intelligence and beautifully skewed perspective with Jacket Potato Pizza. Thoughtful, funny and quietly devastating.



<a href="https://www.dorkinghalls.co.uk/event-detail/?id=477402ASDQLNPGVMGJSDKNTQGNDKTQDLP" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sara Pascoe</a> ■ Dorking Halls ■ 28 Feb Confessional, strange and very sharp. Pascoe’s I Am a Strange Gloop leans into vulnerability with a comic edge that lands every time.



<a href="https://farnhammaltings.com/events/joel-dommett-happy-idiot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joel Dommett</a> ■ Farnham Maltings ■ 5 March High-energy chaos, quick crowd work and an impressively busy brain. Dommett’s Happy Idiot is exactly the upbeat antidote late winter needs.



<a href="https://www.atgtickets.com/shows/chris-mccausland-yonks/new-victoria-theatre/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris McCausland</a> ■ New Victoria Theatre, Woking ■ 11 March Warm, observational and effortlessly funny. Yonks! proves McCausland is one of the most naturally likeable comics on the circuit right now.



<a href="https://trafalgartickets.com/g-live-guildford/en-GB/event/comedy/judi-love-all-about-the-love-tickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Judi Love</a> ■ G Live, Guildford ■ 8 April Big personality, big laughs. All About The Love is exactly what it sounds like — candid, confident and delivered with serious charisma.



<a href="https://thehortonepsom.org/events/game-of-crones/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Game of Crones</a> ■ The Horton Arts Centre, Epsom ■ 9 April Unapologetic, riotous and refreshingly honest. A celebration of women in their prime — and absolutely not here to behave.



<a href="https://trafalgartickets.com/g-live-guildford/en-GB/event/other/ruby-wax-absolutely-famous-tickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ruby Wax</a> ■ G Live, Guildford ■ 28 April Smart, sharp and still fearless. Wax blends humour and insight with the kind of authority that only comes from decades at the top.

Warm, wise and effortlessly commanding, Henry reminds everyone why he’s still one of the greats.



Ivo Graham ■ <a href="https://farnhammaltings.com/events/ivo-graham" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Farnham Maltings</a> ■ 21 May ■ <a href="https://www.rosetheatre.org/whats-on/ivo-graham-orange-crush-tk9c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rose Theatre, Kingston</a> ■ 22 May Self-aware, nervy and painfully relatable. Orange Crush is modern stand-up at its most sharply observed.
