To kick start 2025, the Pleasance Theatre Trust will present a record-breaking new comedy season at their Islington home, with over 70 work-in-progress comedy shows including brand new material from Dara Ó Briain, Sindhu Vee and Chloe Petts, with even more lined up over the winter and spring period.

The Work in Progress season is chock-a-block with new and established comedians mostly performing for one night, with the occasional comedian doing two nights, so make sure you book your tickets now, otherwise you may miss them before they head to Edinburgh.
Whether you prefer some up-front-and-personal comedy, love weird and wonderful characters or enjoy hilarious sketches, there is plenty to watch at The Pleasance over the next few months. One thing’s for sure, we can’t wait to see what new material all the comedians have created in readiness for the Fringe.
Full line up and tickets are available to purchase on The Pleasance Theatre website.
