Chris Cantrill: Rewilding (WIP)

Fringe favourite and one-man Neighbourhood Watch Chris Cantrill returns with a new show about community, justice and snitching.

Having embraced village life, Chris is happy to see out his days whittling, signing for packages and glaring at passing hikers. But when a beloved local tree is cut down in the dead of night, he's drawn into a mystery that reveals a far darker side to his idyllic surroundings...

Chris is a triple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and the only attractive writer on Saturday Night Live UK (Sky). He's also the creator of BBC Radio 4's award-winning sitcom Icklewick FM. He's appeared on Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (Channel 4) and has provided voices for the BAFTA-winning videogame Thank Goodness You're Here.

Freya Parker: An Hour of Decay (WIP)

Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and modern, normal person Freya Parker mines for LOLs in her sophomore solo show. A brave and landmark briefing on the most hilarious topics of all: ageing, Vinted and AI. Never heard of her? She's the absolute and total and main star of these things: Jurassic World: Dominion, Wonka, One Day (Netflix), Mash Report (BBC Two), Smoggie Queens (BBC Three), Deep Cover (Amazon), Lazy Susan (BBC Three). Still never heard of her? Shortest half of sketch-duo Lazy Susan: 'Outrageous and irreverent' **** (Guardian). 'Bright and bountiful, barely wastes a word' (Times).
