PizzaExpress Live is very proud to launch a new series of stand-up comedy shows in our Holborn venue. Performers are drawn from the very best UK club comedians - many of whom are award-winners. Each night will feature three great performers. Whether you've come to see someone in particular or are just curious to see a comedy show, every one of the comedians we are presenting is hugely experienced and has sold out shows in their own right.

Mae Martin is a British-Canadian writer and stand-up comedian. She has previously supported Nina Conti on her UK tour and her first comedy album Mae Martin: Live is available on iTunes. As a previous contract writer for BBC Radio 4, Mae has also written for Newsjack, News Quiz and The Now Show as well as Endemol and Beyond’s YouTube sketch series Sketch My Life.

“This feels like a comedic coming of age for Martin… she has mass appeal, is interesting, hugely likeable, and is above all else is very funny” ****.5 CHORTLE

“Martin’s gentle charm makes it all highly watchable, while her wider thoughtfulness nudges ‘Us’ into something rather important, too” **** THE TIMES

“Astute, provocative, and genuinely funny” ***** EDINBURGH FESTIVAL MAGAZINES

“It’s hard not to fall for her dorky attitude towards liberality and identity” **** BROADWAY BABY

“Hidden within her jokes is an incredibly raw honesty about sexuality and strange childhood memories”


Jack Barry

“An inventive flourish behind his likeable banter… a distinctive wit that should make him one to watch” – Steve Bennett, Chortle

“Instantly likeable” –Three Weeks

“Barry is Eddie Izzard-like in his excellent use of callbacks… a chipper, friendly, and optimistic performer with a strong debut hour of stand-up and enormous potential…I anticipate the rest of his career with great interest.” –Broadway Baby

“Barry is so laid back he’s almost horizontal” **** The List

“A pleasing, assured presence…a degree of skill that belies his youth.” Fest
