Disappointment is Sue's middle name. Her mum had preferred Elizabeth, but was overruled by her dad, who had an altogether darker view of life. Disappointing Second Show looks at all the many ways life falls short and lets us down, with lashings of new jokes about sadness, disease and rejection. Plus special appearances from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Microsoft Paper Clip and a 98-year-old homophobic grandmother. “That rare thing - truly observational comedy in a brilliant stand-up debut from one half of Mel and Sue” - The Sunday Telegraph |

| Tickets: £10, Concs£8 | Professional |
“Ever had a dog that you loved? Did that dog die? Do you sometimes feel responsible for its death? Do you lie awake sometimes, in the chill of the night, thinking that there was more you could have done?
If so, this show is not for you. I want laughers, not people sitting with their arms folded grieving about an animal they may or may not have had a hand in killing.”
Croydon's favourite bi-polar clown in her second solo show, dealing with the many ways life has fallen short and let us down, featuring all new jokes about sadness, disease and rejection. Plus special appearances from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Microsoft Paper Clip and a 98-year-old homophobic grandmother.
“It's wry, witty inventive and highly entertaining. You'd imagine she's been at it since the dawn of time” - Malcom Hay, Time Out
