With food trucks and the bar opening early, don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of something special in Andover this July.

Morgan Rees: What A Bummer (Work in Progress)

Following a sold-out 2024 tour, acclaimed stand-up and online sensation Morgan Rees is back with previews of his hugely anticipated brand-new show. A stand-up show about the trials and errors of falling in love and keeping the spark alive, the spiral-inducing limbo of awaiting a diagnosis, and the experience of being a white Welsh valley boy integrating into a proud Gujarati family. 'A fine storyteller... with tremendous heart and warmth' **** (Scotsman). **** (Entertainment-Now.com). **** (BroadwayBaby.com). **** (Skinny). Tour support for Joanne McNally, Rhys James and Lucy Beaumont.

James Trickey: Work in Progress

Fresh from his highly rated debut hour, James Trickey brings a work in progress of his brand new show.

★★★★ "An impressive level of performance" Fest ★★★★ "A very funny comedian" Beyond The Joke ★★★★ "Trickey’s command of the stage is absolute, his timing flawless." The List "Trickey has certainly got it" The Guardian
