Fin Taylor & Josh Pugh & Fatiha El-Ghorri
Chelsea is in for a belter as Fin Taylor unleashes his brilliantly provocative, no‑nonsense stand‑up – the kind that leaves audiences howling and slightly unsure if they should be laughing that hard. He’s joined by the wonderfully off‑beat Josh Pugh, a master of surreal silliness and left‑field charm, plus the outstanding Fatiha El‑Ghorri, whose fearless, warm, and wickedly funny comedy has made her one of the most exciting voices on the circuit.
A powerhouse trio, one stage, and a night that’s going to fly.
