Thank God you’re here. John Tothill has missed you so much. It’s actually been hell without you.

A rat who orgasmed to death. The notion of Marmite. The time John deliberately got malaria. We’ve got a lot to catch up on. Pour yourself six glasses of wine and settle in for an evening that, god-willing, won’t end. Maybe we could even have the tiniest cigarette??

The critically-acclaimed John Tothill brings his fantastic new show on his debut UK tour. Chortle’s Best Newcomer nominee 2024. One of 2024 and 2023’s Best-Reviewed Edinburgh Fringe Shows (British Comedy Guide). As seen on Comedy Central Live. Tour support for Fiona Allen.
