Add to your event list
Since 1997 XS Malarkey has been a Manchester institution, with compere Toby Hadoke bringing you the very best comedians at the lowest prices.
A minimum of just £3 for members and £6 for normal people- we keep tickets as low as possible to keep shows accessible, but if you can afford to pay more please do- we basically rely on those who can pay more than the minimum in order to pay for the shows. We are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit club, and we really depend on your support to keep these shows running, so we hugely appreciate any extra help! Thank you!
June and July is our Edinburgh Previews season, where each week we bring you two work-in-progress previews of hour-long shows from some of the most exciting comics headed to the Edinburgh Fringe, from old favourites to new voices

Jordan Brookes
Welsh Unsigned Stand Up Finalist 2011 and winner in 2012. 'Brookes has clearly spent time meticulously planning the theatrics, the jokes, the absurdity, and the outbursts to a beat and shows all the signs of a highly skilled comedy writer and performer' (www.chaplinmoustachecomedy.co.uk) '... the best joke of the night...' (Loaded Magazine) 'His role as an outsider was thoughtfully created and brilliantly executed' (South Wales Echo) 'Had it not been for his nomination for a Comedians' Choice award, Jordan might have flown under the radar completely this Fringe. And that would have been a shame, as he deserves recognition for doing something a little different with the art form... with performance skills to spare and an innovative approach running through this assured debut like lettering in seaside rock' (Chortle).
