About to enter her 30s, Grace Campbell has recently made some huge life changes. She got a dog, she stopped replying to internet trolls, she tried non-monogamy, and then very soon after celibacy. Grace has been on a journey to find out who she wants to be as a grown up and will tell us all about it in her brand new show Grace Campbell Is On Heat at MAST Mayflower Studios on October 16.
Three days later, Maisie Adam is five years into her job as a comedian, so she’s due an appraisal. Join her for the ultimate performance review, where you’ll either see just why she was awarded Best New Act and nominated Best Newcomer…or not.
Over at Mayflower Theatre on October 20 and November 10, is Sarah Millican with Late Bloomer. When Sarah Millican was young, she wouldn’t say boo to a goose.

In Late Bloomer, Sarah’s brand-new stand-up show, she explores how one became the other.
