Catie Wilkins & Vix Leyton stand up comedy double feature

Join us for a night of laughter at the iconic Aces and Eights .

‘We’ll See’ Catie's critically acclaimed sell out Edinburgh show (4*) comes to North London for just two more dates. Catie explores how to deal with flashers, cope with a snoring husband who insists he isn’t snoring (or even asleep) and avoid being bullied by your own children. Plus how far into foreplay is it inappropriate to ask if the door is locked? How do you juggle work, family and healing generational trauma?

Also, a first run on ‘Chief Petty Officer’ for this work in progress, Vix puts pettiness in the dock, unpicking history’s pettiest moments - from empires collapsing through the coveting of a single stool to the British building and guarding a country spanning hedge to stop people smuggling salt, asking whether pettiness is always truly ridiculous, or if it can be revolutionary when applied correctly.

One slick hour, one absolute shambles of a 40 minutes - both destined to be entertaining.
