Opening the show is the hilarious Jim Campbell who has been busy with a chart-topping podcast, an acclaimed book and his personal life exploding. Everyone was right though; it’s good for material.

Rigden’s musical comedy is deliciously dark...he is very good at working the crowd." - Bruce Dessau, beyond the joke.
