For eight years ‘The LoD’ ran the best (and only) alternative comedy night in Liverpool; an underground fight club of a sketch show full of deadpan darkness, inappropriate twists and unlikely punchlines… They were even finalists of Sketch Comedian of the year… but they didn’t win.
Driven mad by the shame of being beaten by comedians from London… they left our
Planet… now they return – for revenge!
And for an imaginatively unhinged theatrical sketch show…but mostly for revenge!
With new members, The LoD are honoured to perform their ‘Best of’… at the iconic institution, The Blob Shop… Unity Theatre.
This workshop will focus on being rather than doing.
Through games & impros, we explore the present moment, connecting with ourselves and others. Embracing innocence & wonder, you’ll embark on a personal journey to discover your unique sense of humour & truthfulness, by listening & being receptive.
In this brand new show, Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of the subconscious who hates humanity.
The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and physically enfeebled Lee. Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee’s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up?
In 2021 Richard Herring went to his GP to find out why his right ball seemed to be growing bigger. It turned out that he had testicular cancer and one month later he was lying in hospital waiting to have his murderous gonad removed. Would he survive? (No spoilers!).
For a comedian who had done a whole show on male genitalia, and written a book about toxic masculinity, this felt like some cruel trick of fate.
With extra dates added in 2025 for his much-anticipated return to stand-up after six years, Richard talks b*llocks and answers the question on everyone’s lips: Is a severed gonad in a jar a fitting prize to bring in for Taskmaster?
Based on the beloved book by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort.

Get the full Havers experience: charm, wit, and absolutely no running in slow motion.
Well, here it is – my first ever solo show. Just me, a stage, and a lifetime of gloriously ridiculous stories to share.
I’ll be taking you on a thoroughly entertaining trot through five decades in showbiz. From my early days as a fresh-faced drama school hopeful, to the highs and lows of a career that’s seen me in everything from Chariots of Fire and Empire of the Sun to Don’t Wait Up and some rather marvellous West End plays – and more than my fair share of Palladium Pantos.
Of course, there’ll be behind-the-scenes gossip, tales of triumph (and disaster), moments of sheer madness, and a fair bit of talking b*ll*cks. And just when you think you’ve got me figured out, I might surprise you. Let’s just say there’s a taste of my very first acting role and a little showcase of one of my off-stage talents – I’ll leave you guessing.
So, come along for a night of laughter, nostalgia, and, dare I say, charm. It’s going to be a lot of fun – I promise.
