About the show

What does it take to become a legend? Fuelled by pork scratchings and a lust for glory, 2025's So You Think You're Funny? winner Madeleine Brettingham presents her highly anticipated debut hour of stand-up, exploring what growing up in a world of booze-soaked bad behaviour taught her about how man becomes myth. Praised for her 'distinctive worldview' (Chortle.co.uk), 'tight and gag-packed writing' (Bruce Dessau), and 'knack for blending offbeat observations with pacey, unexpected punchlines' (List). 'One of the best joke writers in comedy today.' (Frankie Boyle).
