Jen Brister

Jen Brister is Reactive – or so she’s been told. Apparently you don’t have to respond to every little thing around you. Finding herself in a constant state of exacerbation at the state of the world and people in general, Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest…

Jen is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian and writer, as seen on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, QI and Mock The Week. Following a sold out 2022 tour, Jen is back on the road with her highly anticipated new show.

Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip

Irreverent and idiosyncratic, the out-there northern crooner comes to town!

Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip performs at Future Yard on Saturday 10th May.

A poet, performer, artist and comedian, Mik spouts lyrics, creates chaos, plays air-crook lock(!), and all-out entertains over the top of an exquisite layer of rock, soul, funk, and punk created by partner in crime Jonny Flockton on guitar. Delightful, frightening, strange and hysterically funny, Mik throws shapes and straws, and croons like a dream – sometimes.

Joshua Burnside

An experimental folk songwriter, singer and producer, Joshua takes influence from alternative electronica and Irish folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds, world music and unorthodox production methods.

His third album, ‘Teeth Of Time’ (out 17.01.25), sits comfortably and confrontationally between the alt-folk realms of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens while retaining the indie singer-songwriter and traditional folk elements of Josh’s signature songwriting.
