John Tothill: This Must Be Heaven

John Tothill‘s critically-acclaimed, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show comes to Wilton’s for its final ever London performance.

In 2024, John Tothill nearly died. In 2025, he went on an underwhelming cruise. Both events were equally life changing.

Join John in his own personal paradise as he attempts to monetise what life he has left.

Support for Alan Davies, Emma Sidi, Mitch Wood, Sheeps & Fiona Allen.
As seen on Comedy Central Live.

Biff To The Future

Presented by James Seabright
A parody by and starring Joseph Maudsley
Directed by Daniel Clarkson

Fresh from an acclaimed, award-winning Edinburgh Festival Fringe premiere, Biff To The Future has its London premiere at Wilton’s.

The iconic villain of “Back To The Future” takes centre stage in this comedic reimagination of Marty’s time-travelling escapades, turning the celebrated cinematic trilogy on its head from the perspective of Biff, the bully audiences love to hate.

This new, heartfelt and unauthorised parody explores the highs and lows of a life chasing power, fame and fortune, reliving Biff’s encounters with Marty and Doc across the centuries.

This Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Award 2025 winner is perfect for superfans and newcomers alike!

Created and performed by Joseph Maudsley (as seen in the Reduced Shakespeare Company, FRIEND (The one with Gunther) and Potted Potter). Directed by double Olivier Award nominee Daniel Clarkson.

Tim Key: L.A. Baby! – Book Tour

Presented by Plosive Live in association with PBJ Management

Tim Key continues his low-grade book tour to celebrate the publication of his latest anthology of poems: L.A. Baby! He’ll “be in conversation” about the book with whoever agrees to interview him, he will, inevitably, read some poems out. The book will be there to buy, he’ll sign whatever etc. 

L.A. Baby! is published around the UK by utterandpress.co.uk and is out now. It will be all present and correct at these events, too.

Where the Wild Things Were

From Rob Newman comes a barnstorming new stand-up show about where we are and where we’re going. From future cities and philistine film directors to Dorothy Parker’s Multiverse Diaries. Throw in Pythagorean gangsters, intellectual bingo callers and a crazy character called Arlo – and the result is a hilarious tour-de-force utterly unlike anything else you will ever see anywhere else!      

 

“One of comedy’s most skilled performers… this is an exquisite, erudite, well-crafted show” ★★★★ Evening Standard, 2023    

“His shows are a joy to watch” ★★★★ The Guardian, 2023  

“Hugely entertaining, gleefully jaunty, and refreshingly intelligent… I loved it.” ★★★★ The Guardian 2018 

“He is one amazing comedian” Time Out  

“Intellectually charged and adorably ambitious…a delightfully digestible dose of brain food” The Times, 2018

John Kearns: Tilting at Windmills

Tilting at Windmills is the brand-new stand-up show from Taskmaster alumni and double Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner, John Kearns.

A fragmented, digressing portrayal of a 38-year-old man’s life, alluding to books he hasn’t read, touching on the modern condition. Plus VAT! More allusive and bleak as ever, it is unreal the comedian you become. And for who? Decent craic with the right crowd. A show for those who have read about but not committed to the Guinness Nitrosurge.

Seen bewildered on Taskmaster (Channel 4), terrified on Live at the Apollo (BBC), getting through Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Sky), and implicating others on his Sky stand-up special The Varnishing Days.  More comfortable on pods but comes alive on stage, for your pleasure!

★★★★★
The Guardian

“most will surely be won over…with the delightful, poetic flourish that defines all his work… perfectly structured with overlapping themes and surprising callbacks… It’s all rather wonderful”
Chortle ★★★★★

“about as funny as anything this decade”
The Times ★★★★

Tim Key: Loganberry

 

Tim Key (Alan Partridge, The Ballad of Wallis Island, Tim Key’s Late Night Poetry Programme) again pops his suit on, plods about, in a brand new show.

Bit gutted he’s old. Guzzling continental lager. Magnetic lol. Decent reviews for previous shows. Played a pigeon in Bong Joon Ho’s latest movie. Been on Richard Herring’s podcast. Book out: “L.A. Baby!”. Met Steffi Graf in 1998/9.

This show has poems in, and he’ll stamp and howl. Won the Perrier Award in 2009!

Parody of the Rings

A Hilarious and Epic Adventure!

What happens when a cinema’s Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong?

At the local cinema, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious evening of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they’re doing.

Will Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?!

It’s a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you’ve ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next, then you’re in for a hilarious treat!
