Up-and-coming comedians to watch out for in 2024

From Josh Pugh to Laura Smyth – we predict the year's biggest comedic breakout stars

The search for new comedy isn’t always easy. The big names with their own TV specials can often feel a little oversaturated, while not everyone has the time or budget to flock to Edinburgh every summer to find the next big thing.

That’s where we come in. We’ve pulled together a few of the names we think are about to hit the big time. See them at a theatre near you before they hit the big time.

Paddy Young

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Paddy Young (@paddyisyoung)

You just know a tour is going to be good (and painfully relatable) when it’s called Hungry. Horny. Scared . This show from Scarborough’s Paddy Young dates back to 2022 in an earlier form but made its Edinburgh debut in 2023 and earnt him a nomination for Best Newcomer. His social media bits with friend (and another one-to-watch) Ed Night are creative and bizarre, and on his own Young is dry enough to be delightfully unpredictable without becoming too much of his ‘thing’. As you’d probably guess from the tour name, parental guidance is recommended.

Emmanuel Sonubi

If you’re from London and think Emmanuel Sonubi looks familiar, then perhaps he helped fix your computer. Or maybe he took one look at you and refused you entry to your favourite club. The multifarious jobs that the comedian has taken on on his journey to the spotlight informs his latest tour, Curriculum Vitae . Gags about keeping up with slang and bulk-buying lube aside, the subject enhances his own excitement about becoming an international touring comedian in demand.

Urooj Ashfaq

After winning Best Newcomer at 2023’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards, one of India’s biggest comedic stars Urooj Ashfaq is about to cause a stir on British soil. Warm, relatable and unflinchingly self-deprecating, Ashfaq navigates the Gen Z troubles of therapy, divorced parents and commitment-phobic men with an endearing heart.

Josh Pugh ’s to-camera bits during lockdown were a tonic to many, and were instrumental in the career he has been building since the world re-opened. His idiosyncratic delivery feels like a friend chewing the fat at the pub, as do his subjects that cover parenthood (and its effects on marriage), holidaying with your parents and working in a Post Office warehouse with impaired vision.

Laura Smyth

In 2019, Laura Smyth – then a secondary school teacher – booked herself a comedy course. The timing wasn’t great to kick off a career in comedy, nor was a crushing diagnosis of stage three breast cancer. Four years on, and the London comedian is thriving, having performed at Live At The Apollo and appearing on Frankie Boyle ’s New World Order . Her latest tour, Living My Best Life , charts this short but tumultuous rise, and with most shows in the first half of the year already sold out, you better get in line to hear her story.

Aurie Styla

Aurie Styla has been on the comedy circuit for a decade or so, but in the last few years his talents as a presenter and stand-up have been getting the attention he deserves. His material often springboards from his Caribbean heritage, focussing on figures such as his unwavering Jamaican grandmother, while exploring his own identity in a loud and expressive style.

Sunday January 28

EXETER: Ania Magliano is on tour with her show I Can't Believe You've Done This (at the Phoenix tonight) which was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award last year and merges witty gossip about herself with wide themes about how women are perceived. Ania Magliano tour dates .

LONDON: The Park Theatre in Finsbury Park starts a new season of comedy gigs, programmed by Peter Grahame of the long-running Downstairs At The Kings Head in nearby Crouch End. Today's fine bill features circuit stalwarts Arthur Smith , Glenn Wool , Laura Smyth , Otiz Cannelloni , Sally-Anne Hayward and Charmian Hughes .

Monday January 29

LONDON: Ian Smith 's Crushing was one of the hits of last year's Edinburgh Fringe, as the comic becomes increasingly exasperated at the slings and arrows of everyday life conspiring against him, with the laughs rising as his patience runs low. He's on at the Soho Theatre for three nights, starting tonight - and tomorrow and Wednesday you could do a brilliant double-bill with…

Tuesday January 30

LONDON: …Julia Masli, whose agony-aunt-style show ha ha ha ha ha ha ha is a masterclass in turning an audience into a community, a spell she cast not by pandering to them - in fact she can be a little prickly as well as delightfully weird - but in uniting everyone in a sense of play and of helping each other out. She's at the Soho through to February 17.

Wednesday January 31

RICHMOND: Twenty-five years after it last aired on Channel 4, newsroom satire Drop The Dead Donkey returns as a stage show, touring the UK from today.

LONDON: Comedy's good at addressing taboos, and in his acclaimed debut show (read our four-star review here ) Tadiwa Mahlunge confesses to a trait that few stand-ups would care to admit: being nakedly ambitious. Less uniquely, he's desperate to be loved. Inhibition Exhibition explores both those character traits and more, with a three-night run at Soho Theatre from tonight prefacing a UK tour kicking off in March. Tadiwa ​Mahlunge tour dates .

CAMBRIDGE: Less relatably, Tom Houghton had a super-privileged background, including living at the Tower Of London until recently… although he has his own problems to share too.

MARKET DRAYTON: Josh Pugh , a former wWinner of the English Comedian of the Year title and ammasser of quite a few online video views, returns with a new tour all about enjoying yourself and doing your best.

Comedy ​Store Players tour dates

COVENTRY: Sam Campbell - Edinburgh Comedy Award 2022 winner and star of the last season of Taskmaster embarks on his first tour of the UK, starting at the Warwick Arts Centre today. Promoters of very silly boy's Wobservations show say: 'Basically, we keep him in a metal crate. Once everyone is settled and the house lights go down, we will let him loose on to the stage. It is our understanding that his comedy moments will dazzle you. His prefrontal cortex is larger than you might expect. "When he's done/empty we shove him back in the crate and you will be allowed to return to your home. How does all that sound?' Sam ​Campbell tour dates

Saturday February 3

The Time Machine – A Comedy tour

Currently touring until 6 April 2024

Join George, Amy and Michael for the premiere of their brand-new version of The Time Machine. H G Wells’ comic deadly serious masterpiece will never be the same again as this hapless highly skilled group of actors embark on a journey of a lifetime!

The Time Machine – A Comedy has announced new UK tour dates for 2024.

Original Theatre presents a Winter/Spring 2024 tour of Steven Canny and John Nicholson’s The Time Machine – A Comedy, following its London première at Park Theatre from 30 November – 30 December.

The tour will star Michael Dylan (Wilf) and Amy Revelle (Offside). They will be joined by George Kemp (Jack Absolute Flies Again), who takes over his role from Dave Hearn after the Park Theatre run.

Join George, Amy and Michael for the premiere of their brand-new version of The Time Machine. H G Wells’ comic deadly serious masterpiece will never be the same again as this hapless highly skilled group of actors embark on a journey of a lifetime! Will George persuade the others to stick to the script he’s worked so hard on? Will Michael be able to explain time travel without the help of excessive props? Will Amy get to sing her Cher tribute? And ultimately… will they be able to defeat the space time paradox – or at least get through the second half?

The Time Machine – A Comedy tour dates and tickets

Sorry, no more tour dates are currently scheduled for this show! Check back soon for new dates in the near future.

From the team behind the smash-hit comedy The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Time Machine – A Comedy is directed by Orla O’Loughlin and designed by Fred Meller, with lighting design by Colin Grenfell and Sound Design by Greg Clarke.

Australia concerts in 2024: here’s a list of shows and tours coming up

Artists touring Down Under in 2024 include Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Hozier, Laufey, aespa, IVE and more

Fresh out of a pandemic, Australia’s 2023 touring calendar was one of the busiest in recent memory, as artists of all stripes took centrestage everywhere from stadium shows to intimate local gigs. With a starry schedule that included the likes of Post Malone , Red Hot Chili Peppers , and Mötley Crüe , it’ll be tricky for 2024’s schedule to outdo its predecessor – and yet, thanks to the likes of Taylor Swift , Blink-182 and Pink , plus Coldplay, Pearl Jam and SZA, it’s poised to do just that.

From debut headline shows for breakout artists to bustling festival sideshow programs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy as a stellar batch of musicians make their way Down Under in 2024. Read on for NME’s roundup of all the biggest concerts and tours coming to Australia this year.

Here are the concerts and tours coming to Australia in 2024:

James Taylor: An Evening with James Taylor & His All-Star Band When: April 12 – April 28 Find tickets and more info here

If there was ever a festival made for James Taylor & His All-Star Band at this juncture of his 50-year career, it’s Day on the Green . The singer will perform at wineries in Queensland (Sirromet Wines in Mount Cotton), and New South Wales (Bimbadgen in the Hunter Valley, and Centennial Vineyards in Bowral) across April 2024. Taylor will be accompanied by Aussie pair Josh Pyke and Ella Hooper .

Taylor is also playing his own headline shows. After selling out dates in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, new shows have been added in those cities. A Live Nation pre-sale begins February 9 while general on-sale starts February 12.

Chase & Status When: April 19 – April 28 Find more info and ticket waitlists here

After a new mixtape, charting singles and landmark Boiler Room set, drum’n’bass lifers Chase & Status celebrated a huge 2023. This year, the British duo will bring the party to Australia and New Zealand on a sold-out co-headlining tour with Australia’s very own Luude. They’re notably playing RAC Arena in Perth, on top of Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Recommended

SZA When: April 19 – May 2 Find tickets and more info here

Beth Orton When: April 24 – April 30 Find tickets and more info

The Dandy Warhols will make their return to Australia in April 2024 armed with their new album ‘Rockmaker’. So far, they’ve scheduled dates in Brisbane , Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. If you missed them when they toured down under with Hoodoo Gurus in 2022, this is your chance. Find tickets here.

Elephant Gym When: April 26 – April 28 Find more info and tickets here

Elephant Gym isn’t the result of a random band name generator; “elephant” refers to the Taiwanese math rock band’s bass-led grooves, while “Gym” denotes the “agility” of their rhythm. The trio will perform their technical and idiosyncratic instrumentals at three shows on the Australian east coast for the first time this April, supporting sleepmakeswaves.

6LACK: Since I Have A Lover Tour When: April 26 – May 1 Find tickets and more info

R&B favourite 6LACK (pronounced ‘black’) will return to Australia in April to tour his new album, ‘Since I Have A Lover’. The four-date jaunt will take him to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.

Groovin The Moo sideshows When: April 29 – May 11 Find tickets and more info

Sadly, Groovin The Moo is no longer going ahead this year – but many of the artists who would have played the touring festival will still be forging ahead with their own Australian headline shows. Singer-songwriter Claire Rosinkranz, Wu-Tang Clan legend GZA (performing a set dubbed ‘Liquid Swords Live’) and Stephen Sanchez will all perform headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.

Toronto indie rockers The Beaches will also perform their own dates, playing shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne in May. Find more information and tickets for all sideshows here .

The band have toured the world in support of their latest album, ‘Memento Mori’ , and a trip to Australia to cap off the jaunt seems more likely than ever.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Joe Wicks fans defend fitness star from dad-shaming over daughter, 5, using sharp knife

Share this with

Joe Wicks fans jumped to the fitness guru’s defence after he shared a family video of his five-year-old daughter Indigo cooking a steak to perfection.

The 38-year-old TV personality quickly became swept up in controversy as concern was raised over the knife wielded by the youngster.

Just weeks ago, Joe was embroiled in another controversy as he had to issue an apology for appearing to suggest the belief that ‘ADHD is caused by ultra-processed foods’.

Some fans were concerned that his children are being allowed to use an ‘unnecessary’ Japanese chef’s knife, which was rather large and clearly very sharp.

Indigo was proudly cooking and cutting through a ‘perfect’ ribeye steak, with younger sibling Marley, four, by her side.

‘Then you carefully cut it into slices with a sharp knife,’ the youngster said as dad Joe replied: ‘That’s a proper sharp Japanese knife.’

Allowing his daughter to use such a large and sharp knife caused some parenting arguments in his comments though, as people weighed in on the safety issues.

‘I’m a big Joe fan but….. bizarrely no one mentioning the knife?’ commented Jane Dent. ‘Completely unnecessary for a child to be using that with another even younger child next to them. Accident waiting to happen unfortunately.’

She was immediately met with defensive comments stating that Joe was supervising and teaching the little ones kitchen safety at a young age.

‘More dangerous not been sharp, she’s well supervised 🙄,’ retorted Mandie Oldridge.

Joan East added: ‘I disagree, teach them to use a knife, even a big one when they are young under parental supervision and they will be less likely to cause serious injury to themselves.’

‘I expect you weren’t there for all the conversations they’ve had about dangers in the kitchen,’ shared Sue Simmonds. ‘I’ve seen many a video where he’s told them to watch the knife/pan/heat etc.’

Both Joe and his wife Rosie , who is currently pregnant with baby number four , can be seen looking on in the reflection of the cupboards.

Throughout the video the Body Coach encourages his daughter, praising her cooking and stating she ‘nailed’ the perfect medium rare steak.

At the end of the tutorial, Indigo’s hand can be seen hovering slightly as she searches for a safe place to put the huge knife down.

She puts it at the edge of the chopping board before picking up a slice to taste test, while Marley approvingly gives a thumbs up.

In another clip the knife has been moved as the pair shout ’10 out of 10′, with a ‘wooo’ from Joe behind the camera.

As well as Indigo and Marley, the couple share 19-month-old daughter Leni and are expecting another baby later this year.

Taylor Swift Supports Travis Kelce's Chiefs After Draft, Approves Pick!

Travis kelce accidentally flashed junk during interview with andrew santino, travis kelce 'boys' slid out during podcast ... says andrew santino.

Travis Kelce quite literally went balls-out in an interview with comedian Andrew Santino a few years back ... 'cause as it turns out, the NFL superstar continuously suffered a wardrobe malfunction throughout the podcast!!

The "Dave" actor revisited the hilarious 2019 mishap in the latest episode of the Kelce Bros' "New Heights" show this week ... explaining how the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's "boys" made a few guest appearances as they chopped it up about life, sports and other topics.

Taylor Swift 's boyfriend rocked some yellow basketball shorts for the occasion ... but admittedly, he "didn't have my Tommy Johns on" that day.

Santino said his "Whiskey Ginger" podcast editor hit him up shortly after recording the pod and sheepishly alerted him of Kelce's nudity ... asking if they should try to reshoot the whole thing to avoid an X-rated show.

Santino said he had a better -- and more funny -- idea ... claiming he told his employee to just smack a huge Chiefs logo over Travis' crotch throughout the hour-long episode.

The end result is pretty chuckle-worthy ... and it's still up on Santino's YouTube page to this day.

Santino joked the NSFW footage will be made available on his Patreon ... before assuring Kelce it will remain "in the vault for life."
