Jason Manford: A Manford All Seasons (14+)

*Please read the below carefully*

Big things are happening here at the Marina.

As you may have seen a redevelopment project has begun at the theatre which will incorporate, among other things, a change to the layout of some of the seating in the auditorium.  This is a big task, and we are currently awaiting an updated seating plan for the new layout. To be able to continue to put shows on sale for the Autumn/Winter 2025 Season, the way you purchase a seat for this event is different to what you’re used to. The booking page will ask you whether you would like Stalls or Circle seats and then will ask you how many seats you would like. Please then go through the booking process as normal. When we have received delivery of the new seating plan our Box Office Team will be in touch with you directly so that they can allocate you an actual seat.

For any questions please call 01502 533200 or email info@marinatheatre.co.uk

Marina Comedy Club – May 2025

With Geoff Norcott, Alistair Williams, Peter Rethinasamy and hosted by Dave Fensome!

 

Headlined by the brilliant Geoff Norcott! Geoff has an established string of TV credits to his name. Geoff has appeared on Live at The Apollo (BBC 2), Backstage with Katherine Ryan (Amazon), The Ranganation (BBC 2) Mock The Week (BBC 2), Have I Got News For You (BBC 1), House of Games (BBC 1), The Complaints Department (Comedy Central), Question Time (BBC 1), The Last Leg (C4), A League of Their Own (Sky), Pointless Celebrities (BBC 1),  Celebrity Mastermind (BBC 1), Would I Lie To You? (BBC 1) and many more.

 

He’s also been popping up on the radio with his own BBC Radio 4 specials Withdrawal Disagreement and Right Leaning but Well Meaning (which won the 2019 BBC Radio & Music Award for Best Comedy Production). He’s also had several successful national stand-up tours, with TAKING LIBERTIES touring in 2019 and 2020, and I BLAME THE PARENTS touring 2021/2022. Geoff often appears on Times Radio and is also the host of the popular podcast What Most People Think. His satirical comment has found its way into national publications with articles appearing in The Times, The Sunday Telegraph, The Independent and The New Statesman.

 

Opening the show is Alistair Williams! Recently crowned the £10,001 British Comedian of the Year 2023, Alistair Williams is quite simply one of the finest comedians around. Having exploded onto the stand-up circuit last year, Alistair is quickly making a name for himself with razor-sharp content and high-watt charm. He’s already become a regular at the UK’s most famous venues including The Comedy Store and Up the Creek and is constantly building an ever-growing international presence.

 

Unafraid of tackling rough subject matter, Williams is also a passionate health campaigner. Combining raw personal anecdotes with a jam-packed gag count and slick extroverted style, he creates bespoke comedy content to challenge the food and health industries, regularly grabbing the attention of leading megabrands. He believes real food can change your life, a narrative which is also the through the line of his 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Show. Smart, passionate, impressively quick-witted and bursting with infectious confidence, this is stand-up that grabs your attention and Alistair Williams is quickly solidifying his place as one of stand-up’s most exciting rising stars.

 

With the brilliant Peter Rethinasamy! Born and raised in Belfast to a Malaysian father and Irish mother, Peter is a comedian with hard hitting, punchy jokes and hilarious tales of growing up in Northern Ireland. Since he started performing stand up, he has reached the semi-finals of the Laughing Horse New Act Competition and won the London Comedy Store’s King Gong Competition. Recently Peter has been supporting Judi Love, Seann Walsh, Kerry Godliman, Russell Kane and Tom Allen on tour around the UK.

 

Combining his love of comedy writing and acting (he was a member of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain), Peter has been on Comedy Central Live! And last year he appeared in The Heist Before Christmas, alongside Timothy Spall, which was a movie made for Sky, directed by Edward Hall. Other recent credits include Ted Lasso (Apple TV), Apprentice: You’re Fired (BBC), short film Us & In Between, and Peter is soon to be seen in Changing Ends (ITV).

 

Hosted by Brighton comic Dave Fensome!
