Two Comedy Powerhouses. One Unmissable Night.
Nina Gilligan and Allyson June Smith have stormed stages across the UK and beyond, dishing out sharp, fearless comedy wherever they land. Now, for one night only, they’re joining forces to test brand-new material ahead of their 2026 solo tours.
Expect punchy gags, razor-sharp wit, and an evening of laughter that’s as unpredictable as the British weather.
Bring your mates, your date, or just your brilliant self—either way, you’ll leave grinning like a loon on a bank holiday.

Allyson June Smith
Since 2000, Allyson June Smith has been tickling Canada’s comedy scene from the moment she put down the chalk brush and picked up a mic. Playing to packed rooms has become like another day in the classroom for this former school teacher. A multiple Canadian Comedy Award nominee for Best Female Stand-Up. Allyson's credits include her own hour long Comedy Now special, appearances on CBC Radio’s hit show The Debaters, and the Winnipeg, Halifax and Just For Laughs Festivals, to name just a few. After working her way across Canada, Allyson is now taking the UK by storm with her sassy blend of in-your-face stand-up and hilariously insightful comedy. "Book her, see her, just do whatever you can to be near her; she’s gonna be a huge star!” Jason Manford "Ultra likeable and versatile" Now Magazine, Toronto "Wasn’t afraid to be shocking and explicit… hilarious" – **** Three Weeks "Yet another hilarious Canadian with great hair" Stewart Francis
